I made these simple and quick cherries using left over worsted weight yarn.
For the cherry pompoms, just wrap yarn around all four fingers of one hand held flat, about twenty times. Take 6 inch piece of matching yarn and tie a very tight knot around yarn between middle and ring fingers. Take yarn off your hand and cut all loops. Holding the long pieces from the knot, slowly trim all other yarn, keeping it all even, until you get a tight ball of yarn. Mine shown are a bit long and loose, I was in a hurry and didn't go far enough.
For stems, I used crochet hook H and chained 21. Then, slip stitch 7, chain 13. Finish off leaving a length off yarn and use that (with yarn needle) to tie pompom on. Do this for both pompoms and wah-la! you have cherries!
