Things You'll Need:
- Plastic tubular hanger
- Cotton crochet yarn
- Size H crochet hook
- 3-by-4 inch piece of cardboard
- Scissors
-
Step 1
Tie a loop in your yarn and chain stitch around the shoulder and base of your tubular hanger. Be sure the stitches are pushed close together for best coverage.
-
Step 2
Fill the entire hanger, and cross over the neck of the hanger to attach to the first chain. Pull up a loop; you now have two stitches on your crochet hook. Put another loop on the crochet hook for a total of three loops on your hook. Pull a loop through the first stitch, pick up another loop and pull it through the first and second stitches and finally a loop through the third stitch. This is a shell. Make a single crochet in the next stitch and repeat all the way around the hanger. Bind off the last stitch. Your hanger is ruffled all the way around.

Step 3
Take the rectangle of cardboard. In the center of the two short sides, cut a 1-inch long notch about 1/4 inch deep into the cardboard to keep the yarn from slipping off when you wrap it around the rectangle. Wrap at least 30 rounds of yarn around the rectangle, making sure it stays in the notch.

Step 4
Wrap an 8-inch length of yarn around the center of each hank of yarn in the middle of each side of the cardboard. Cut the yarn apart at each notch. Tie the two hanks of yarn tightly together in the center to form a pouf. Trim if necessary. Tie the poof to the neck of the hanger for decoration.
