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.

A Shawlette with a Ton of Design Options

There’s a lot to like about the Eloise Bandana from Katryn Seeburger. This cute little colorwork triangle can be worked as a bandana or kerchief size or a bigger shawlette. 

It’s worked in two colors of fingering weight yarn so you can use whatever yarn you have in your stash and just make it as big as you can (since it is worked from the bottom up). 

You can see the two sizes from the photo, and also two colorwork options: strawberries and lily of the valley. 

But that’s not all the choices you have. In fact, there are 34 different charts you can choose from to knit onto your project. Some of the options include happy faces, a lobster, a pumpkin, a snail and a butterfly. There are cherries, peaches, tomatoes and radishes.

There’s even a blank square you can use to draw your own little design if you want to use something else. Or keep it blank and make it a plain checkerboard design. 

And while both of these shawls use the same icons throughout, you could also use different designs throughout if you want. Say a fall version with a bat, pumpkin, leaf and acorn, or a summer beach theme with sailboat, fish, lobster and a bird? I keep suggesting four different icons because the larger size has four rows of squares, but the smaller has three, so you could do stripes of the same icon or alternate a couple of different ones, whatever you like. 

Look through the finished projects on the Ravelry project page to see lots of different options, from rows to individual icons. There are also some projects that are smaller than the suggested size to make a smaller bandana. You could also keep going a make a bigger shawl working increases in the same way as you have been going. 

Check out all the details and grab a copy of the pattern on Ravelry.
