After seeing the yarns, I was immediately attracted to the the Boutique Sassy Fabric (Pink Polka Dot), then the matching color yarn in Anne Geddes Baby Yarn (Pink). I immediately knew I had to use both of these together! The Anne Geddes Baby yarn was so soft and squishy! The Sassy Fabric yarn would be a great accent with it's sheer fabric!
I also have more yarn that is in my box and about to become WIPs. So keep an eye out for more free patterns using these new yarns! You can't wait can you?!

Sassy Fabric Pom Pom:
Using your hook, insert your hook into each hole from the front to the back of 30 holes. Using a strand of yarn, pull the yarn through all 30 holes. Taking both tail ends of your yarn, create a tight knot to pull together the Sassy Fabric. Determine a good even length to cut the fabric (be sure not to cut near the last hole you gathered)
