Yarn Beanie
Contents: Cotton Ball - Acrylic Yarn - string - Cardboard Strip
Complexity (1-10): 6
Glue: No glue required
Instructions
First, Roll the cardboard strip around your finger to bend it into a curved shape. Overlap the edges by 1cm and secure with glue to make a ring.
Cut the acrylic yarn into 24cm strips, (put one aside to use later) and tie them around the cardboard ring by creating a loop, sticking it through the ring, bringing the 2 ends of the yarn over the ring top and slipping them through the loop.
Pull the ends to tighten the knot. Continue until you have used up your yarn or there is no more room.
Hold all the yarn tails in one hand and push them back through the ring - be sure to be gentle, we want the yarn knots to remain where they are (not slide around the ring).
Then gently push the cotton ball into the beanie to give it some shape.
Next, tie a knot in the string to make a hanging loop and gently place the knot into the middle of the yarn tails so it's against the cotton ball.
Then, tie the piece of yarn you put aside earlier around the top of the cotton ball (make sure the knot of the string is below your yarn knot). Pull tight & secure with a double knot.
Lastly, trim the yarn ends on top of the beanie to make a neat pompom effect.
Your Yarn Beanie is now ready to hang on your Christmas tree.
