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.

Colorful Christmas Tree Cross Stitch Patterns

There’s no rule that says Christmas trees in real life have to be green, and there’s no rule in cross stitch that Christmas trees have to be green, either. While I love a good traditional looking tree (in reality or in cross stitch) there are lots of fun other choices, which we’ll explore here.

Looking for more Christmas tree cross stitch patterns? Check out this post from last year.

I am going to start with a traditional tree, but this one has a lot of color thanks to the lights and other decorations on it. This one is form xCountingtheStarsx, and it uses 20 colors. Worked on 16 count fabric it comes out to about 5.6 by 9.25 inches, or 14.2 by 23.5 cm, with a stitch count of 90 by 148.

These fun designs from Catholic Sprouts have traditional tree shapes but are filled with fun patterns and colors. These would be fun to stitch as a set or you can make each of them and give them as gifts to different people or use as holiday cards.

The Christmas tree shape is a little less literal in this swooping design from Well Stitches. I like this one because it only uses one color so it’s great for beginners, but it still looks dramatic. It is 109 by 155 stitches, which comes out to 7.99 by 11.07 inches, or 19.78 by 28.12 cm on 14 count fabric (dimensions for other counts are also included if you want to make it smaller).

And if you want to go for all color, check out the Merry and Bright Christmas tree cross stitch pattern from Tapestry Barn. This pretty skinny tree is surrounded by multicolored snowflakes. The designs on the tree remind me of knitting patterns. And even though it’s lots of colors, it’s only worked with whole stitches and no back stitching. It looks lovely on dark fabric! The piece measures about 7 by 7 inches, or 18 by 18 cm, on 14 count fabric.
