Now also available as a crochet pattern: https://www.etsy.com/listing/126958579
I've included lots of information about how to use various thicknesses of yarn. So just about any green yarns will work. These pictures show a little of that variety. You can make it very, very simply, or add the stem-and-sepals part that really make it whimsical.
Literally THOUSANDS of savvy young photographers have become knitters, or enlisted a friend or relative to venture into this genre.
"Is this an easy knit?" you ask. Well, I'll tell you this: The outer pod part is very simple, but it is a good workout for the fingers, so please don't ask your grandma to make this one! Have her teach YOU, at last! The stem and sepals part is not very challenging, either, and there are videos all over the Internet of the few skills you may not already have.
I am never far from my computer, so consider me your "Tech Support" when you take on this knitting project. It is not a quick knit, but pretty fun to do, and what a cool prop it makes!
This pattern includes instructions for knitting peas in tennis ball or grapefruit size. The peas make great spacers, or can be posed outside the pea pod, just to add a little interest to the photo.
The diaper cover pattern is sold separately here:

I would also recommend getting the cocoon/pod pattern: www.etsy.com/listing/62845586
The shorter "pod" variation, which is like a bowl, looks amazing inside the outer pea pod from this pattern, and it's wonderful to use, settling baby into the inner part first, then popping him/her into the outer pea pod, and lifting back out for pictures in the "pod" alone. You can knit that pod shallow, as pictured, or deeper for a rolled brim effect.

Special thanks to one of may pattern buyers for the Sweet Pea picture of her granddaughter. This is what it's all about! Thanks go to my daughter Elizabeth for another great photo, and to Jamie Gadd of Tiny Souls in Charlotte.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a set of instructions, not the physical object. Once you have paid, you will receive an Etsy order confirmation email with instructions for downloading your pattern pdf file.
About downloading onto a tablet or phone:
You must log in to your Etsy account through the web browser and look in the Purchases area up at the top right of the page to find the invoice and the link to click, rather than trying to download from within the Etsy app, or from a link in your confirmation email. That just doesn't seem to work.
