So the Puff Daddy is all i-cord, baby. It takes hardly any time to whip one up. Just think of all the Christmas gifts you can get done in ONE day. Think of how much cash you can score at the holiday bazaar. The possibilities are endless! I’m going to make one in cotton, too, as a neck-sweat grabber. And how about a sweet little wristlet mini Puff Daddy? Heck yeah!
So, go to it, my fellow knitters! Millions of Puff Daddies circling the necks of loved ones will make the world a better place.

I’m going to put it on Ravelry when/if I figure out how to do that. And maybe I’ll create a Puff Daddy flickr group? Anyway, here’s one last photo from the innovative and lovely offspring of Kay:
This may be just the thing to get me back into knitting again. Near instant gratification! Thanks for posting this 🙂
LUV IT– the pics of you and Deeds are gorgeous too! I am now a Puff Daddy Revolution supporter– you need a button made so I can post it on my blog! – let me know if I can lend out my photoshop skillz. Thanks dude!
THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
Hee hee! I love it. It’s so very…retro. Pom poms baby!
Awesome.
My five-year-old granddaughter will lose her mind when she sees this!
i knew someone would create the pattern. Running to my Misti Alpaca and #15’s as soon as I get home.

I love it!
Love it! How fun. Deedle looks delighted with his Puff Daddy.
I’m spitting up my Cheetos this morning!! Oh my gawd! Your FACE, your FACE!!! LOL–So very cute, M. Adorable, even. You should do this more often.
Anydogscarf, I LOVE the scarflet and am printing out this pattern *cough* *cough* for my *cough* mother *cough* to make for me *cough*. I want at least two of them. One for me, one for Buffie. (apparantly I don’t knit that well)
Oh, and the pic at the end? Priceless expression. Was she coerced into putting that on her head?
brilliant! thanks for sharing!!
I think that last photo illustrates how well Puff Daddy could be used as a beehive support structure. Just pile your hair on top of the thing, and you’re done!
Mariko,
In the shot with Deedle, you’ve got a Gloria Swanson/Garbo thing going–in a good way! Very silent movie. Deedle has sort of a…dog-wearing-accessory thing going. (He and Carrie should talk.)

I was thinking of something small to knit for everyone’s stockings this year…and this is it! How fabulous!
Wow! Our holiday bazaar is at the beginning of December and it is tempting to make up a dozen of these (at least some in soft cottons, because people always harp on me about how much wool I use) as fun little scarf accessories!
omg that is totally cute, and I love the matching Deedle and You photo. Adorable! I see a few of these in my future as whip-it-up-at-the-last-minute christmas gifts – perfect for me to make when winter break starts two 12 days before christmas! by the way, have I told you I LOVE portland!?
I have Puff Daddy started. I have everything but the puff done. I wanted to wait until I bought a pom pom maker. I used Blackberry Ridge Bulky hand dyed in a pretty Turquoise solid. I may add another color to the Pom to make if more colorful. My friend Leslie has a dog named Ifor. He is the cutest Corgi you have every seen. I will have him model it and I will send you the photo so you can post it in your flickr. Check out Blackberry Ridge at http://www.blackberry-ridge.com. This is a small local spining and dyeing operation in Wisconsin where I live.
What a classic Basenji look! Mine are never enthusiastic models either. But the Puff Daddy is so cute maybe they will consent.
I don’t know…you and Deedle look quite the pair! Very fun!
mariko,
thanks for sharing your adventures with the Puff Daddy. very nice and inspiring for gifts. I am going to try to whip up a couple for my daughters asap! then make more for gifts!! (love the pom pom on the head pic…and a priceless expression!)
i love! and i especially love deedle in the puff daddy. lookie that cute little face!
If you are a handspinner, consider making the pom pom with fleece instead of yarn. Ultra-yummy!
Thank you for sharing.i love it and going to try one for me.
I love that puff, how fun! I’ll be linking to this.
This wonderful scarfy thing made me squeal! I whipped one up tonight with a chunky wool and mohair blend. I’m a rank beginner at knitting, but after figuring out the giant i-cord, this was easy as pie. Everyone will be wearing these…
i really like your hair style. 🙂
