Instructions:

iCord:
Insert yarn through center hole of knitting bee, until a small tail comes out the bottom, hold onto this piece so it will stay out of the bee. Take your yarn and double wrap your first peg. Take your awl and pull the lowest yarn bar over and off your peg. Repeat for remaining 3 pegs.
When you come back to your first peg again. Wrap yarn around peg once and pull lowest yarn bar over and off you peg. Repeat on remaining 3 pegs and until you have your iCord length. Once in a while pull on your tail to help your iCord go down into the bee.

Pom-Poms:
The steps are the same for either small or big pom-pom.

Cut a 6" piece of yarn. Place between the pegs of your pom-pom maker. Begin to wrap yarn around both pegs of your maker. Fill as much as you can without doubling your yarn. Cut yarn when all filled. Pull up your strand from between the pegs and tie tightly around your yarn. Cut along the side grooves to release your pom-pom. Once cut off the maker, pull tight on your tie to secure your pom-pom. Knot and your pom-pom is done.
