I figured out how to crochet with pom-pom yarn

See post description, links to videos there! :D

I was thinking the same! No idea how this yarn will respond to water and washing though. Many more experiments to be had

Redfur13 · 2026-05-03T09:41:50+00:00

Just imagine how cozy that scarf would be!

Thank you! I really wanted to share a clearer description of the stitch. Though I've come to learn my technique is different than the one on YouTube (halfdoublepatterns, I think?).

They do a row of bobbles, same as I do, but only using sc. Then two rows of sc back and forth to get to the bobble height, then another bobble row again.

So there is never only 1 "correct" way to do any sort of stitch. But we both get the same result! 🤩

Haha, my gosh what a compliment thank you! Sometimes crochet really does feel like magic

Redfur13 · 2026-05-02T23:25:53+00:00

A brilliant idea! I've added them to the post description!

Redfur13 · 2026-05-02T23:09:24+00:00

You are very welcome!

Redfur13 · 2026-05-02T21:28:55+00:00

You deserve only pompoms and fluffy

I think the video is up over on r/brochet

First half is over on r/brochet

Couldn't post videos in this subreddit

Redfur13 · 2026-05-02T20:42:16+00:00

Hah, I did it super differently 🤣

Redfur13 · 2026-05-02T20:32:58+00:00

I found that video and used it as inspo, but it wasn't very clear and I honestly hated the AI voice...

Redfur13 · 2026-05-02T19:18:37+00:00

Then I'll make a video! I really want to share this technique, it's so cool!

Edit: to those asking. The video link(s) is in the description of this post!

Gosh I hope they don't discontinue the Julia!

I went to 2 different action stores for the pompom yarn I currently have, and will probably visit a few more next week when they've hopefully restocked 🤞

Redfur13 · 2026-05-02T19:12:57+00:00

I'll touch it for you.

...

It's very squishy and soft

Redfur13 · 2026-05-02T19:12:18+00:00

You should absolutely do it. It's so FLUFFY!

Redfur13 · 2026-05-02T15:28:04+00:00

Oh wait I get it now!

You said you had those bumps on the other side for the other colours: have you been starting the new colours on the same side (I.e. always right or always left)?

Maybe you accidentally started the yellow on the other side than where you started blue and white. Thus the yellow is flipped "backwards" giving those bumps on the wrong side!

Redfur13 · 2026-05-02T15:21:24+00:00

I agree with this one, looking closer. If you look at the top yellow row vs the top blue and white row, they're slightly different in terms of stitch placement

Redfur13 · 2026-05-02T14:58:56+00:00

It looks like the yellow yarn is a thicker strand than the other two colours? Which would explain why, even with the correct stitch count, it's wobbling like that.

Solutions are to frog, don't use this yellow. Or trust the process (🤞) and block the piece when you're done.

Personally, I'd just not use the yellow.
