Big Floppy Yarn Pom
"Are you looking to make a big, floppy yarn pom to adorn the top of a hat? In this tutorial, I’ll share with you how I made the one for my daughter’s newest hat, the Knit-Look Super Bulky Slouch. I used a super bulky / 6 weight yarn, but you can easily substitute other bulky or super bulky yarns. If you choose to use a worsted weight yarn, you may find that you need to wrap the yarn nearly twice as many times so your pom looks floppy and not deflated."
Yarn Weight(6) Super Bulky/Super Chunky (4-11 stitches for 4 inches)

I have a complete set of commercial pompon makers, so most of the time thats what I use. But sometimes the old wrap around the cardboard version is a better choice. Back in the day, the directions would have said to use a piece of cardboard about the size of a large index card (4x6). I had to laugh when I saw that instead of cardboard, the designer used her cell phone instead.
