Cut slit from the outer circle to the smaller one and cut out the smaller one too.

As a general rule of thumb, the radius of the centre hole should be 1/3 of the radius of the full circle. If it is too big it will be harder tie off at the end. Make sure this smaller circle isn’t too big. The distance between the inner and outer circle will determine how big your pom pom will be.
