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.

Stitch Your Favorite Fruit on a Sweater

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.” 

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them. 

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits. 

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves. 

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit. 

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
