craft night: pompon sweater



Need a new favorite sweater? It really is just this easy.



I've had this Old Navy sweater for years but have never had as much love for it as I do now. I sewed my puff-balls on, but fabric glue would be quicker. Unless you spend an hour looking for the fabric glue and have to sew them on in the end anyway like I did. This way you can take them off next year, or switch out the colors, or rearrange them if you decide you want a diamond pattern instead of a grid, or if one too many cocktails during craft-time rendered your grid a bit wonky the first time around.



I learned it's best to start with the first puff right below the v-neck at the center and work out from there. My puffs are 3 inches apart-ish. Do the shoulders last, since they probably won't really be on grid, but it looks unfinished without them.
