Steps:

1. Use sewing scissors to cut the string that attaches the pom pom to the beanie if it's still loosely attached.

2. Measure 10 inches of yarn.
3. Use your scissors to cut the yarn.

4. Pull one end of the yarn through the eye of a hand sewing needle until you have an even amount of yarn on both sides of the needle.
5. The point of the needle is sharp enough to pierce skin.

6. Push the needle through the pom pom, leaving a 3 inch tail of yarn.
7. Be aware of where the needle will exit and where your hand is holding the pom pom.

8. Poke the pom pom with the point of the needle at the same place you poked it in Step 4.
9. Pull the needle all the way through and keep the yarn on the needle.
10. You will end up with two strands of yarn, one on each side of the pom pom.

11. Push the needle through the top of the beanie.
12. Pull the needle all the way through until the pom pom is fixed against the beanie.

13. Push the needle all the way through one of the holes of the button.
14. Keep button in place and remove the needle from the yarn.

15. Put the second strand of yarn through the eye of the needle.
16. Poke the needle through the top of the beanie again.
17. Pull the remaining yarn all the way through to the other side of the beanie.

18. Pull the yarn all the way through another hole in the button.

19. Tie an overhand knot with the two ends of the yarn.

20. Tie another overhand knot.

21. Cut off the remaining ends of the yarn, cutting close to the button.
