No, It's Crochet (formerly Off the Hook Crochet) is a crochet channel where
we chat about, experiment with and explore crochet tips, patterns, and topics.
And I encourage everyone, including myself to let ourselves OFF THE HOOK

we are "supposed" to, in crafting and in life.

The "Quick" Tote Bag Crochet Pattern And Video By Sara Sach

 The "Quick" Tote Bag
 Crochet Pattern And Video
 By Sara Sach Of Sara Sach Crochet
Formerly Posh Pooch Designs


The Quick Tote Bag is designed using a 20 ounce 
Nestle Quick container, and it is super quick 
to stitch up. So, I  called It The "Quick Tote Bag".


My husband was making himself some 
chocolate milk, his favorite drink of choice, 
And finished the last of the Quick milk powder.
 He asked if I wanted the container.
I immediately said yes, and the idea to
 make a small tote bag with it came to my mind.

The book rings to hold the lid onto the 
container is optional. You do not even have 
to use the lid. Although I really like the
 lid for keeping things safe and dry inside.
I attached 2 book rings I purchased at Walmart.
I found them by the paper clips.
I just "drilled" small holes with my 
small had drill and slid the rings on.


The container measures 6.5 inches tall
 X 15 inches around and 2.5 inches deep. 
I think it's perfect size for everyday use, as well as, 
a great trip bag. It will fit your phone, wallet, and
still have room for your keys and lipstick.

Please note, you do not have to use the quick
 container, that bag will still work great without it.

Lucky Clover Washcloth Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Lucky Clover Washcloth 
Crochet Pattern 


πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€

πŸ€IT IS FRIDAY FUNDAY!πŸ€

And The Lucky Clover Washcloth is a fun
 washcloth to stitch up. It has a couple crochet
 techniques to learn. The Clovers are stitched
 up using "3 Double Crochet Clusters".
 That means 3 double crochet stitches are
 clustered together.
It sounds difficult was it really quite easy.
This technique makes the clovers 
pop up and look adorable.


It also has cute checkered rows. Combined
 with the clovers is really says 
"St. Patrick's Day party' To Me.

It's perfect size to use as a washcloth or 
dishcloth, but it is pretty. I will be using mine as 
decorations. I do not at them to get dirty.

"Aloha Naomi here. I just love crocheting,
making beautiful things out of string/ yarn. I’ve been crocheting for over 50 years but learning
new things in the craft everyday. I joke
that crochet is cheaper than therapy but truth be told it
does help with stress, anger and in general over all mental health. I’ve started this huaka’i (journey) in hopes to
encourage others to find crochet or any other
craft to keep or share with others. Maybe to make a
difference in someone’s day or life. I just want to have
fun and maybe add a smile to your day. I love God! I love my family!
I love the USA! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ I love crochet! And yes, in the order I’ve listed."
