Notes

This pattern is finished with a long Kitchener to make the flat edge on the top. You may wish to visit the TECHknitting blog to read up on her Kitchener technique. She also has a great Pom-pom tutorial.ld single and getting gauge, you will of course need less yarn. Pom-poms take up more than you think!
