Please tell me what I might be doing wrong in Round 3 I get 12 DC.

There are only 2 stitches where you work increases. So you must be increasing 4 times instead of as written.

Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. I needed a gift for my nephew, found some scrap yarn and completed it in one afternoon. The pom pom is
very unique. Much better than winding yarn around a piece of cardboard and cutting the strands. Thank you again.

Not clear on the Pom Pom instructions. I get lost after joining the chain and doing the slip stitch. Then after that, it gets confusing for me

The chain and slip stitch form a ring and then you work into it.

If you could make a demonstration how-to-video on crocheting a Pom Pom, that’d be awesome!

So after you do the slip stitch, you chain 1. Then in parentheses, the directions say (sc, ch3). I get confused right there.
