I Just love Him so much and although it's a monster,
 it is adorably sweet, Just like a Kiwi should be.


I designed him using the Brand New Premier 
Parfait Chunky Fruit Yarn in the Kiwi Colorway. 
 It is a super bulky (6) weight yarn. It is so soft
 and squishy, but very sturdy. It will hold up to
 lots of  play time by kids, and Adults, too.


8 colors
262 yards/ 7 oz. per cake
100% polyester
Super Bulky (6)

See All 8 colors and 
coordinating colors at

And I think any of the colors will make nice 
Squishy Monsters! And You just need one cake to
 make a monster for anyone, including you.
So Grab a Cake or two and make some 
sweet Monsters!

FRIDAY FUN DAY! Simple Pumpkin Hot Pad / Pot Holder Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 FRIDAY FUN DAY! 
Simple Pumpkin Hot Pad / Pot Holder
 Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


IT'S FRIDAY FUN DAY!
*********************************
I have had many requests for a simple Crochet 
Pumpkin shaped pot holder / hot pad, so here it is.
 I hope you like it. I had a lot of fun designing it.

It's an easy design of a basic pumpkin with a 
stem, leaf and vine curl. You can make 1 or 2 
thicknesses, depending on what you will use it for.
If using it for an actual hot pad placing hot dishes on
 it or grabbing hot dished from the oven, I suggest
 making it double thick. If it a decoration
 1 thickness if fine.


I designed it using Medium (4) weight orange and
 sage green Red Heart Super saver acrylic yarn, 
as mine for for decorations,
 but again, If using it for an actual hot pad placing 
hot dishes on it or grabbing hot dished from the oven,
I suggest using a cotton or cotton blend yarn.
