How to Fix a Crochet Hat Pom Pom (Easy Pom Pom Repair Tutorial)

After a dog-related mishap left a favorite hat looking a little sad, I replaced the pom pom and walked through how I attach one when the original yarn ends are gone. I’m also sharing my favorite way to mix yarn weights for full, textured pom poms, plus a couple easy hat options if you want to make one yourself.
