Chunky Granny Bag Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Chunky Granny Bag Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

I have gotten many requests for a more 

sturdier Shopping bag, lately.

I came up with a really easy and sturdy bag, 

that can hold up to heavier items.

The Bag can be made from a Bulky (5 or 6) yarn

 or made holding 2 strands of Med (4) together. 

It can be made from Cotton, Cotton bland or Acrylic yarns.

 It's really your preference and what you have in your

 yarn stash.

One is made using Chunky Caron Cakes and 

One us made using Yarn Bee Cotton XXL

We talked about Scarf lengths last week, 
but about infinity scarves and cowls?

The Cowl / Circle Scarf - Should be about 18 inches around, and about 24 inches if you want to wear it as a Hood / Snood.
It is a short scarf joined into a circle.

The Infinity Scarf/ Mobius Scarf 

 The scarf is the same length around as a regular scarf,

Only it is twisted and joined.

Click This Link for the Scarf Measurement  Chart - LINK

The Terms Cowl and Infinity Scarf have been used interchangeably. 

They both refer to a scarf that is joined.

The cowl usually means that the scarf is joined, by not twisted.

 An Infinity or Mobius Scarf has a

 twist to look similar to the infinity symbol.

Scarf Lengths

How Long Should My Scarf Be?

It's Getting toward Winter and Christmas Gifts,

 and we need to know how long to make a

 scarf we are making.

These length are all Approximates, 

and are for the average person of this age or group.

Age          Length in Inches

3-5 years              36 

5-7 years              44         

8-10 years            50

Preteens               57

S Ladies               64

M Ladies              68

L Ladies               69

S Men                  67

M Men                 70

L Men                  75

I have also been told to make the scarf 

as long as the person is tall.

 For example - I am 5 "3",

so I would make a scarf for me that is 5' 3".

Sounds about right, if you know their height measurement.

Hug The World Pillow Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Hug The World Pillow 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I designed this little Hug The World Pillow
to be a cute and simple reminder to
take care of the earth.
No, the pillow is not exactly like the earth, 
but a representation.

When we all pitch in and help, even if
 it's just a little, 

we can make a big difference.

We kept the pattern simple so anyone can make it.
  It's all stitched with Double Crochet
 Stitches in rows, and changing colors.

Another reason I designed this pattern,
is I think we all could use a big hug.
