Pomp A Doodle – New From Red Heart!

by

pompLiven up your scarf-making.  Embellish your hats.  Or simply relax and sink yourself into a down-like pillow.  All this is possible when you are creating with the newest novelty yarn from Red Heart®, Pomp a Doodle™.  

This new fun and unique yarn features fluffy pom-poms strung together by twisted yarn cording.  Using US size 9 (5.5mm) knitting needles or an I-9 (5.5 mm) crochet hook, the pom-poms stitch together to create a soft, cushy fabric that is not only a pleasure to make but even more fun to wear and share with others.  Mix Pomp a Doodle™ with other yarns for even more fun.

The new Red Heart® Pomp a Doodle™ comes in 7 color combinations including Plush Plum featuring purples and magentas; Berries and Cream with pinks, roses and reds; Faded Jeans offering various shades of denim-like blues; Prairie has brown tones and neutrals; Shoreline with serene aqua’s, greens and teals; African Violet, a green and purple blend; and Night and Day featuring a black and white combination.

A single 3.5 oz ball makes one scarf.  The pattern is included inside the skein band.  This size 6 super bulky yarn is super fast and fun to work up.

  1. Love the Pomp A Doodle! My scarf is done…well almost…how do I cast off with this stuff?

    Carrie:)

  4. I have completed knitting my Pomp a Doodle scarf. However I do not know how to cast off. I viewed the above you tube link 3 times and do not see the cast off, only the cast on. Could you please help?

  5. I just finished doing scarf in night and day pomp a doodle. Love the plush feel of this scarf, but it said one skein, I had to use almost two skeins to get it to length that was usable. one skein did not make it 36 inches like it said even though I used correct needles.

  7. This video is no longer available because the uploader has closed their YouTube account.

  8. I’d like to match with a solid color my 2 Pomp-a-Doodle yarns-Cotton Candy and Berries and Cream.
    4 Ply yarn,I’d guess.Any suggestins or a site to go to?

  9. I’m excited to have the scarf pattern and am looking to do a child’s hat,too.

Coffee Cozy Knitting Patterns

During the summer (which is what it is where I am writing from) I like to share patterns for things that you can knit and use even when it’s warm out. And sometimes they are things you can use when it’s cold, too, like this collection of coffee cup cozies. Because hot coffee is a must almost any time of year. 

This simple pattern form Darling Jadore is a great one for beginners and could be a good first knitting in the round project. It uses worsted weight yarn and includes video tutorials if you need extra help. 

If you want a perfectly plain cozy that you can jazz up with your own designs, check out the Base Doodle Cup Cozy from Jamie Lomax. This free pattern on Ravelry comes in two sizes (short and long) and is meant to be used with her doodle charts to make it your own. You could also keep it plain, add stripes or design your own motifs to stitch on it. 

Most coffee cozy patterns that I see are just sleeves meant to go over travel mugs, but what if your mug has a handle? This pattern from Stacey’s Knit Wits has an I-cord loop and button so you can use it on a mug with a handle or a travel cup. It uses DK weight yarn.

Coffee cozies are a fun way to play with stitch patterns and learn new techniques. If you’ve never knit cables before, this cozy from Purple Wool Co. would be a great first cable project, as it features simple braided cables all the way around. It uses worsted weight yarn and is worked in the round. 

Try double knitting to make an extra-insulating coffee cozy with this pattern from Tracy Leming. It includes little color changes so you can get the concept of how double knitting works on a small scale. It also can include a little pocket for a tea bag if you want. This one uses worsted weight yarn and is a free pattern on Ravelry.

Or try stranded knitting with the Love in the Air cozy from Danielle Thuen. It features hearts of different sizes and is worked in sock yarn. You’ll need to make sure those floats are nice and loose so it will stretch to hug your cup. You can find this pattern on Ravelry. 

They’re also a fun way to add a bit of flair to an otherwise plain cup. KnitnKaboodle Designs has this lovely leaf-shaped cozy pattern, which you could use for hot or cold beverages by changing up the fiber you choose (that’s pretty much always true). It is made in pieces that are stitched together and can be worked in a single color or choose different colors for each leaf.
