MK - how to make a two-color plaid of pompoms?
It will take:
- wooden bars;
- nails and a hammer;
- thick acrylic yarn of two colors 4 skeins;
- scissors.
Progress:
- From wooden blocks we knock off a frame of the size you want to make a rug. It can be square or rectangular in shape. Along the entire perimeter, we drive nails into it at a distance of 4-5 cm.
- We take the yarn of white color and tie its end to the first nail in the upper side of the frame. We lower it down, we catch the first and second nails and lift it up. There we start the yarn for the second and third and continue moving down. Similarly, we reel the thread before we reach the corner of the frame. In the future, therefore, all vertical rows must be performed.
- To go to the horizontal rows, at the corner of the frame we hook the thread as shown in the picture. Vertical rows of yarn are reeled in the same way as described in point No. 2.
- The winding is repeated so many times that in each row there are 20 threads, both horizontally and vertically.
- Now take the pink yarn and reel it in the same way as white, making 20-30 layers. From this amount will depend on the size of future pompoms.
- In places where vertical and horizontal rows intersect, all threads must be connected. To do this, cut the segments of 7-10 cm, and then they grab the yarn diagonally and make a knot. It is necessary to tighten it very tightly, so that later they are not untied during operation.
- After all the nodules have been made, we take the scissors and cut them in the middle between the two knots. This is done only with pink yarn (this is 20-30 threads). After all four threads have been cut around the knot, the protruding ends should be aligned so that a beautiful pompom is obtained. To ensure that the rug has a neat edging, follow the entire perimeter to leave the last row of nodes uncut.
- The final step in making a plaid of pompoms is to create a fringe. To do this, cut in the middle that part of the yarn that was hooked on two nails.
- The plaid is ready.

This product itself is warm enough, so the baby wrapped in it will be comfortable enough. If you want to warm it up, you can sew a fleece of the appropriate size to it from the inside.
To decorate the resulting plaid from the pompoms, you can, before removing it from the frame, stretch around the edges of a wide satin ribbon, matched to the color of the thread or chosen to indicate the sex of the child.
When we make a plaid of pompoms with our own hands, it depends only on the desire of the performer whether it will be monochrome or multicolored. In the first case, only one color is wound on the frame of the thread, and in the second case, it is different.
