Make a Pom-Pom Wreath, Plus Tons of Ways to Make Them

September 27, 2017 by Sarah White

diy pom-pom wreath and ways to make pompoms.A few years ago I made a pom-pom wreath for my front closet door. I love it, but it is nowhere near as lush as this wreath from Crafts ‘n Coffee.

She used varieties of white, off-white and cream colored yarn in hers, and though she used a pom-pom maker she also shares some other ideas for ways to make pom-poms that will make it easier for you if you have a lot to make.

My advice is to give this job to a child if you’re OK with imperfection. You might be surprised how long kiddos of a certain age and temperament will keep themselves occupied with a pom-pom tool and some yarn.

Do you decorate with pom-poms? They are a great stash buster! I’d love to hear how you use them.

    This is just beautiful and so simple. I love it.

Have you read?

Krampus Sweater Knitting Pattern

Santa and Saint Nicholas generally get all the good press, but Central European kids know you don’t want to just be good so you get presents from St. Nicholas; you also want to avoid the ire of Krampus. (He’s depicted as a human-like figure with horns and usually hairy or furry who gives birch rods instead of gifts to kids who are bad.)

If you’re the type to embrace the naughty side (or you just want to scare the children into good behavior over the holidays), maybe you’ll want to knit a Krampus sweater.  

This one, from Sofie Amalie Laulund, is a top down circular yoke sweater with Krampus faces at the top and cavorting Krampuses further down the body, with some traditional Scandinavian snowflakes thrown in for fun. 

Because of the large motifs there’s not a lot of room for adjusting the fit, but it is available in five sizes (the Ravelry page doesn’t say what the sizing is, and it says its worked with no ease but the photo looks like the sweater has a bit of positive ease, so if you decide to make this one just check the measurements and your own comfort level for ease when picking a size). 

It also uses five colors, but there’s very little red and brown so you can probably use scrap yarn for those parts. It calls for DK weight yarn. You’ll want a background color that helps the creatures stand out. You could also work the snowflake bands in different colors if you want to mix it up. 

The pattern is available in both English and Danish, and you can find it on Ravelry. This is the designer’s first pattern, which kudos to them because it’s such an ambitious (and fun!) project I’m happy to add to my collection of whimsy-filled knits.
