How to Crochet Pom Pom Border Photo Tutorial
I just finished a brand new crochet blanket and the Pom Pom border is the finishing touch to this fun winter themed blanket.
I love how fun pom poms are for an edging in blankets or to the ends of a scarf!
A crochet Pom Pom border is a great way to add just the right 3D texture to a simple blanket – babies would love to play with those pom poms!
