Pom Pom
Wrap the yarn over four fingers roughly about 100 times. Going in between the middle two fingers, wrap a double strand of yarn around the yarn and pull somewhat tight. Then cut along the sides of the hand and remove from hand. Take the double strand of yarn and pull it as tight as you can to secure all the loose strands. Trim down to desired size.
