What a grown-up does

Cutting the yarn around the edge takes strong scissors and a strong hand.

How to make it

7 steps. Tap one when it's done.

Why that works

The middle tie is what does the work: it pinches hundreds of short yarn pieces so hard they can't slide out, and every piece pokes outward from that one point. That's a pom-pom.

Lambton County twist

Make a second smaller pom-pom if your animal needs a head and body.
