Big O' Beach Bag Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of

 Posh Pooch Designs

I was " Cleaning" up my yarn studio and came across a 

bag full of the Red Heart Yarn called Strata.

It is 76% Acrylic and 24% Nylon Yarn.

And I thought, "What  perfect blend to design a

Big O' Beach Bag".

 And So I did, and used all the colors I had on hand.

And although I used this yarn, any Bulky (5) yarn will

 work for this Crochet Pattern.

This bag is super easy because it is stitched all in

 Double Crochet Stitches.

The color changes are random. I changed colors when

 1 skein ran out, and just joined another color.

This is my new favorite bag!

Cotton Adjustable Visor Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Cotton Adjustable Visor Crochet Pattern 

by Sara Sach of

 Posh Pooch Designs

This Visor is the perfect addition to any Summer outfit, 

whether you are going sporty, a Day in the sun or

 just a casual afternoon with friends at the beach.

It's Cotton, so it's cool.

It's adjustable for 

any size head, and

It's also fun and quick to

 stitch up.

Make one for every 

vacation outfit and

 you will

 set to go.

I chose to Use Peaches and Cream and Sugar and Cream 

Cotton yarns because the tend to hold the shape of the 

Visor Bill better then other cotton  yarns.

Also  handle lots of washings, well.
