Sunny days are typically associated with summer and we couldn’t wait to celebrate the brightest season for our newest issue. I would be grateful for any advice given.Pom Pom Quarterly Magazine was founded in 2012 as a quarterly that would present knitting, crochet, and craft in the modern, beautiful, and meaningful way. I am writing a note to every vid and help site is search of help as my last resort is to strip the poms off the string and cast off that way (it just doesn't seem to be the elegant solution to me - and I've only been doing this a week!) There just has to be a cleaver solution to this prob, I'm too novice to figure it out on my own. I've tried casting off (over half a day and multiple different ways). I want it to look the same as the flat start. It doesn't have the stretch of the start side.Īs I am working with 9 stitches facing up k2tog leaves one behind and (as I understand it) tapers the rows down to a point. Using the usually cast off method of slipping the last stitch over the new stitch I am left with a pleasing crotchet effect - but the end is all bunched up.

The string between wraps around (the 3.75 mm needles I am using) only one full circle. To describe the poms are seemingly half the size of the Rico brand poms. My wool is a non standard size, I think, (I can only do one stitch between each pom pom). After watching a few you tube vids, inventing my own way of casting on and knitting for a day, I have this gorgeous scarf that is impossible to bind off! My Ma had this pretty wool, she never used it so I snatched it up (so I have it with no wrapper with handy instructions on it). I'm on holiday, am determined and for years said I couldn't do this knitting thing. I am very new to knitting (I learned last week).

You can add a big pompom or a big brooch as a fastener for the Pom Pom Mink Scarf and wear it just like the photos shown above.Almost finished, just cast off by knitting 2 stitches together (K2tog).tick tock tick tock… after 2 hours, the scarf was half-way finished, with my speed and skill. Switch side to your needles and you should be holding the knitted pom-pom on your left and an empty needle on your right and start to knit the third row.Now you can see much clearer, at each side of a row, there will be an additional small pom-pom. Remember, there are only 2 stitches in between the pom-pom and only knit the straight yarn and not the pom-pom. Continue knitting for the rest of the 15 loops while transferring all the loops from left to right needle to complete the second row.Note: You will have a small pom-pom at the side of your scarf. Draw the first stitch out from the left needle and you have completed the first knit.Gently pull back the right needle out from the loop, bringing together the yarn and bring it in front of the left needle.Cross-over the yarn (black color) counter-clockwise with the tail resting between the “X” of the 2 needles.Insert your right needle into the first loop of your left needle as shown, so that your right needle is at the bottom of the left needle. Hold your casted needle with your left hand and an empty needle on your right hand.ī. Skip the next small pom pom and begin to knit the straight yarn onto the first loop.Ī.You will have 4 big pom-poms and 3 small pom-poms in between the 16 loops as shown. Skip the big pom-pom and cast-on 2 loops again with the straight yarn, do it again and again until you have 16 loops to begin on the first row.Keep the loops closer to the tip so that it is easier for you to cast-on the second loop into the needle.

The second loop is a little harder to insert as the straight yarn is short and being restricted by the pom-pom. Make 2 “loop cast-on” on the straight yarn between the pom-pom.

Make sure that the tail end is behind the start of the yarn as shown in the picture.

Make a loop and insert the knitting needle into the loop.

The Grey small pom-pom (on the left) is the tail end and the Brown big pom-pom (on the right) is at the start. The cast-on I used is “loop cast-on” or “wrap cast-on”.

Start by cast-on with the straight yarn before a big pom-pom.
