FRIDAY FUN DAY! Garden Whirly Jig Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Garden Whirly Jig Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

 HAPPY FRIDAY FUN DAY! 

I am so excited about today's Crochet Video.

I did a "Whirly Jig" video about 5 years about and 

decided it was time to up date the video and make sure

 there is a written pattern with pictures as well.

These were one of the first projects I learned to crochet

 so many years ago. About 50 years! YIKES!

They are so fun to make in many different colors 

combinations. They help keep birds and critters from

 getting in the garden. The motion of the whirly

 jigs scare away. Last year I lost some strawberries because

 the birds where eating the seeds right off the berries!

I Love To use the The yarn bee SCRUB-OLOGY 

SCRUB IT yarn from Hobby Lobby. Yes, it's a scrubby

 yarn for making scrubbers. That is what makes it

 perfect for making the Whirly jigs. It is 100% nylon, 

so it will not sock up the water and get moldy, 

and it's made for getting wet. It also dries very quickly!

 It's a bulky (5) yarn it will stitch up quickly, too. 

I call that a win, win, winning yarn!

They are also so pretty and fun to watch as they whirl. 

Again, you can make them in any color combinations. Add beads, bells, and whatever you want. Just be creative

 and have fun.
