Baby Popcorn Bobble Pom Pom Beanie Knitting Pattern

Can you believe that it is almost Autumn again ( or Fall if you live in the USA 😄 )

What a year it has been, with lockdown everywhere, I feel almost that we missed out on half of the year.  I have spent the last few months creating a whole new range of baby knitwear. My absolute favourite at the moment is the popcorn bobble patterned outfits, so of course I had to create a lovely snuggly winter baby beanie to match! 

This adorable baby beanie pattern knits up quickly and is fairly easy to knit. A beginner with a little experience, should be able to manage. You just need to be able to knit, purl, decrease and knit the bobble. There is a full explanation and a link to a video that shows you how to make the popcorn bobble -- its a lot easier than you think!

Knit in an Aran / Worsted yarn, with knitting needles size 4mm and 5 mm (US 6 and 8). The hat is knit flat (not in the round), on straight needles, with a seam at the back.  You can knit the whole hat with the bobbles, or just a few rows, or even knit the hat without the bobbles. The hat can be knit as a beanie or you can add a few extra rows, to make a slouchie instead. 

I have added a faux fur pom pom bobble to the top, but you could make a yarn bobble or even leave it off altogether, whichever you like.

The hat knits up soft and stretchy, and you could make up a few for Christmas gifts, for use as a photography prop, or for your own baby to use as everyday babywear.

Knit them up in lovely rich warm winter colours of cream, cinnamon, mustard and browns, or go festive, and use red white and green, or classic smoky pinks and blues... 

The knitting pattern will be in a PDF digital format that you can download from one of my online stores.

Babys First Christmas

 Christmas time is such a special time of the year. Everyone loves that magical feeling, the twinkling lights, the smell of cinnamon and pine cones, the cheesy music (that we all love, but won't admit it!), and that cosy feeling that yuletide brings.

Having a new baby at Christmas is just lovely, creating special first memories and photographs together.

So of course, I have a range of adorable outfits and hats for your babys first Christmas pictures.

My absolute favourite is this little gingerbread man. Your baby will be warm and snug in the footed outfit for his photoshoot. The romper has a crochet collar, with a green bow tie, 'icing' detail on the sleeves and the beanie, with little red buttons on the chest.  

Handknit in lovely cuddly alpaca yarn, that is soft against your little boys delicate skin. This is such a fun photography prop. I make them in sizes from newborn baby to sitter size ( approx 9 months old)

Then there is the more traditional Santa suit. This one also has the footed romper and matching Santa hat in red and white, with a little top-knot. You are welcome to add a fluffy pom pom instead. Simply message me. A lovely newborn photo prop outfit.

And of course, I make the chunky traditional Santa hats with wide white brim, red longail and a big pom pom on the end. These are handmade by me, in sizes newborn to 3 years old. So this would be ideal for matching new baby and older sibling sets for your Christmas pics. 

One of my best selling baby hats for the festive season, is this little Rudolph Reindeer hat. It is crochet, with a big fluffy red bobble nose, felt antlers and big ears!  Handmade in sizes newborn to 12 months old.

Each year I try to come up with a new suit, and for this holiday season, I have this little romper. The red shorts are knit together with the white top, into a bodysuit style, with red suspender straps, some big black buttons and a matching Santa hat with fluffy brim. Handknit in sizes newborn to 12 months old.

You can see the little suit in more detail in my video below.

As always, you are very welcome to request a custom order, I just love the challenge.

Footed Pyjama Rompers for Newborn Photography

 

My all time favourite newborn photography prop outfit has to be these little footed rompers. 😍

I get all fuzzy when I look at them, like when you see a puppy and your heart just melts, sooooo cute!!

I have probably made hundreds of these over the last few years, and each photographer seems to manage to put their own twist to the photo, making it look unique. 

The little pajamas all have long sleeves, with a button opening at the back, and a matching bonnet.

Most of the rompers are knit in soft fluffy alpaca, that I brush before shipping, for extra fuzziness!

The outfits are also handknit by me, in sizes from Newborn (which fits a baby under 15 days old) to a sitter size baby (approx 9 months old).  The suits are meant to fit fairly snugly, not loose like commerical pajamas.  This is so that the lovely baby chubby contours are emphasised in the photos. 

Please note that these are all meant for use as a photography prop, and are not designed (or practical) for sleepwear. 

Over the past few years, I have made these little outfits as all kinds of animals. I have those that are currently the most popular listed in my shop, but feel free to contact me  if you would like something different or special.

Some examples of the footed onesies that I have made include:

• Bear 
• Bunny
• Fox
• Lion
• Frog
• Giraffe
• Cow
• Angel
• Mouse
• Koala
• Elephant
• Sleepy cap sets
• Bee
• Polar Bear
• Panda Bear
• Santa Suit
• Gingerbread man
• Snowman Suit

Some of the animals are given little tails, where appropriate, from a bunny pom pom tail, to a wide fox brush-tail, a plaited cow tail and a lion tail with a fuzzy end!

Although the rompers are knit in either brushed or smooth alpaca (because they feel so soft and snuggly against a newborns skin), they can, of course, be knitted in a synthetic yarn if your baby  is allergic to natural yarns, or you simply prefer not to use animal product.

I am always up for a challenge, happy to create a new outfit. Some of my recent favourites are these gingerbread men for Christmas. The suit has a crochet collar, big red buttons, and 'icing' around the sleeves, and on the hat. Then a fun crochet green bow tie is added just for fun!

And lets not forget the Santa suits, just perfect for your babys first Christmas. These could also be made as little elf outfits, with a striped hat, with a long tail and pom pom, and the suit made in greens and reds. 

I would love you to browse the outfits that are listed in my shop. You can do this by going to my online store Crafty Stuff Baby Knits, or simply follow a link below:
