Have you seen this crazy fun new yarn that Red Heart has? It is called pomp-a-doodle and basically it looks like a bunch of little pom-poms on a string. It is great for making cute scarves and they work really fast too. I picked up this pattern by regaining my sanity hanging out at a wonderful yarn store in Carefree, AZ on a Saturday with my cousin. The ladies at the store were actually using a slightly different yarn but the resulting scarf is pretty much the same.
Pomp-a-doodle Scarf:
First, tie a knot in the end of the yarn. It unravels quickly and if you skip this step you will lose your final project. Skip the first pom and then make your starting slip stitch around your hook. Chain 2 more times then count past 3 more poms. Chain 3 again. Repeat until scarf is approximately 7 feet long. To finish, pull the last pom though the chain, cut and knot tightly. You should be able to get 2 scarves out of one skein.
(The first time I did this I used the whole skein and wound up with a scarf long enough for Big Foot)
These make great gifts :)
Happy crafting everyone!
