How to Make a Pom Pom for a Knit Hat
Find a piece of cardboard. Cereal boxes work brilliantly because they’re flimsy and smell like breakfast lies. Cut out two identical circles—about three inches across for a hat-sized puffball of destiny.
Here’s the twist: cut a small circle out of the center of each big circle. You want a donut shape. A donut made of cardboard that will never taste like sugar. Life is cruel.
I recommend tracing a coffee mug for the outer circle and a shot glass for the inner hole. If you don’t have a shot glass, use your thumb. If you don’t have a thumb, we have bigger problems.
