INSPIRATION

A few years ago for Christmas gifts I gave several friends homemade crochet bowl cozies with a soup mix in a mason jar (watch for this gift set coming to the blog in February). I decided to do mason jar gifts again this year but wanted to dress the jars up and make them a little more holiday festive. I thought a cozy winter hat and matching scarf would be the perfect details to make the jars extra cute. I have included links to some jar mixes and other mason jar gift ideas below. Add these wintery mason jar gifts to your list this year. They make a fun and unique gift that anyone would love to receive, and they are a perfect way to give gift cards… just throw in the card and some candy and your good to go!

Pattern - YARN POM POMS

for my wide mouth jar hat pom pom I used DEEP RED

for my standard jar hat pom pom I used LIGHT GREEN

NOTE: I like to put a paper towel under my work for easy clean up

Measure about a 12″ piece of yarn the same color as your YARN 1. Thread your needle with the yarn and set it aside for now (left photo).

From your YARN 1 skein, place the beginning of your yarn over your pointer and middle fingers and hold it down with your thumb (middle photo).

Start wrapping the YARN 1 around and around your fingers about 50 times (right photo).

Add Your Heading Text Here

Take your threaded needle with the YARN 1 string and push it up through your fingers on the left side of your work (left photo).

Bring the other side of the string back behind your work and through your fingers on the right side (middle photo).

With the YARN 1 string behind your work and on each side, take both ends of the string and tie them together pulling them just snug enough to pull the work off of your fingers, but don’t knot the string yet (right photo).

Add Your Heading Text Here

Once the work is off your fingers, pull the string ends as tight as possible without snapping the yarn and tie in a knot (left photo).

Cut through all the loops on one side (middle photo), then the other side. Make sure not to cut the knotted string.

The pom pom with be uneven once all the loops are cut (right photo).

Add Your Heading Text Here

Start trimming the uneven strands of the pom pom (left photo).

Continue to trim until the pom pom forms a nice ball shape (middle photo).

Right photo shows finished pom pom.

ATTACHING POM POM TO HAT

Thread your needle with one end of the pom pom string. From the top of the hat, insert the needle down through one side of the magic ring (left photo), pulling your string through.

Thread the other end of the pom pom string and insert the needle down through the other side of the magic ring (middle photo).

Both strings should now be on the inside of the hat (right photo).

Add Your Heading Text Here

Take a handful of fiberfil stuffing (left photo) and push it down into the hat.

Make sure each pom pom string is on the outside of the stuffing (middle photo).

Take both ends of the pom pom string and tie them together, tightly, (right photo), which will keep the stuffing secure inside the hat and the pom pom secure on the top of the hat.

Add Your Heading Text Here

Thread your needle with one end of the pom pom string and then going to the side of the stuffing (left photo), insert the needle up through the top of the hat right underneath the pom pom (middle photo), pulling your string through.

Do the same thing with the other end of the string, pushing your needle up through the other side of the pom pom. The pom pom strings should be underneath each side of the pom pom (right photo).

Add Your Heading Text Here

Take each end of the pom pom string and tie them together pulling snuggly underneath the pom pom (left photo).

Tie a knot and then cut the strings equal to the pom pom strands (middle photo).

WINTER SCARF FRINGE - Option 1

Before you start the fringe, determine what side of the scarf you consider the backside. You will be inserting your fringe strands through the backside.

First you will need to cut twelve 7″ strands of yarn (left photo) for each end of the scarf. **I used the same color yarn as my matching hat’s pom pom.

If you have a large enough tapestry needle, thread 3 of the strands through the needle (middle photo). If your needle isn’t big enough for all 3 strands, do 1 strand at a time.

Take your threaded needle and insert it up through the bottom left side corner of the scarf (right photo).

Add Your Heading Text Here

Pull the 3 strands through about half way (left photo).

You will now bring those 3 strands back down through the same space (middle photo).

Before pulling the 3 strands all the way through, place your pointer finger underneath the strands to form a loop and to keep the strands from pulling all the way through (right photo).

Add Your Heading Text Here

Take all 6 strands that are now pulled through the bottom left corner and pull them through the loop you made with your pointer finger (left photo).

Pull each strand tight to form a knot (middle photo shows backside of knot).

Right photo shows frontside of knot.

Repeat the same sequence 3 more times across the bottom of the scarf.

Repeat the fringe sequence on the other end of the scarf. Bring the finished end of the scarf down over the unfinished end and line up the knots. Use the finished end as a guide for trimming the second end (middle photo).

Right photo shows a finished scarf with Option 1 fringe.

WINTER SCARF FRINGE - Option 2

For a frayed fringe look you will first want to follow all of the instructions in WINTER SCARF FRINGE – Option 1.

Starting with one strand at a time, insert your needle at the top of the strand between the threads of the strand (left photo). Gently pull the needle down to separate threads.

The middle photo shows one strand with the threads partially frayed.

Continue to gently pull through the strand until each thread is separated (right photo).

The left photo shows the first knotted section frayed vs. the non-frayed knotted sections.

Once all of the strands have been frayed you will want to trim the bottom of the fringe evenly (middle photo).
