What is it about pom-poms that make them so irresistible? The lure is irrational. They don’t do anything: they’re just big, poofy balls of fluff, like dandelions or tribbles or kittens or….okay, I guess I can see the appeal.

Pom-posity is a long, narrow, colorblocked scarf (just perfect for wrapping) with one, huge, glorious pom-pom on each slightly tapered end. It’s also worked end-to-end, but instead of cutting the yarn at the color change a simple intarsia method allows you to keep each color live all the way through.
