Patriotic Soap Bag Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach Crochet

 Patriotic Soap Bag
Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach Crochet



I have received quite a few crochet pattern requests
 for soap sacks and bags for giving to veterans.
I decided to design one that has a Patriotic style to it.
I also wanted to keep it clean and simple so it
 could be stitched up quickly.


I designed it using Crafters Secret from Hobby Lobby 
100% Cotton yarn. The Color is called 
peppermint Twist, which sounds Christmasy
 but I when I first saw it I thought of 
red and white stripes. I paired it with a 
royal blue and I love the the results.
It definitely says American Flag to me.


If You do not have this yarn you can alternate
 red and white yarn and it would still look nice.
And Remember, you do not have to make this
 Soap bag in Patriotic colors. You can use colors
 you like, and any colors you have on hand.
It is a wonderful way to use up leftover cotton
 yarn and make something useful.

Patriotic Doily Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Patriotic Doily 
Crochet Pattern 
On July 4th It will be 
The United States of America's
 250 Birthday! 


I have had a lot of requests for patriotic
 crochet patterns, and this patriotic 
doily was a request with the idea
 of the round flag style doily.
I loved the idea and stitched it up 
quickly and love it so much. 
I want to share it with you all. 


The original Design is a ten inch doily,
however you can continue the alternating red
 and white stripes, increasing every row,
 and make it as large as you would like.

It will be lovely on a table with of patriotic dishes, 
candles, and all sorts of decorations for 
Memorial day, 4th of july, Flag Day, 
Veterans Day and any time you want
 to celebrate America.


This Doily is really easy to stitch up.
No fancy Stitches or techniques.
It great for new and us old crocheters, also.
I designed it using medium (4) weight 
cotton yarn, and will stitch up just
 fine with acrylic Medium (4) as well.

Sturdy Garden Basket Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach Crochet

 Sturdy Garden Basket 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach Crochet


I designed the Sturdy Garden basket using the
 Hobby Lobby Scrub-ology Scrub it yarn.
 It is a perfect basket for gathering veggies and fruit,
as well as,  for rinsing off veggies 
and fruit after picking because this 
yarn is made to get wet and stay sturdy.
And It drys quickly.

The Basket will hold it's shape and stay sturdy.
The Scrub-ology yarns are quite bright, 
so it makes a lovely colorful basket, too. 


It even looks pretty sitting on the table filled
 with veggies, fruit, dinner rolls or a pretty
 flower arrangement.



I have a plastic strainer I use when washing the
 smaller veggies like beans and cherry tomatoes, 
as well as, the small fruits likes strawberries and blackberries.The strainer fits right in side
 the basket. It works great for for picking and washing. 
I take the strainer out when I am done.
