FRIDAY FUN DAY! Gnome For The Holidays Pillow Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 FRIDAY FUN DAY! 

Gnome For The Holidays Pillow

 Crochet Pattern 

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I Love This Gnome Pillow.

 I was going to Call it "I'll be Gnome For Christmas",

 But "Gnome For The Holidays" just sounded better. 

Merry Christmas!

 It is a quick and easy Crochet pattern that any one

 of any skill level will love stitching up. I made mine

 in Christmas Colors, but you can make it in any color

combination you want. And for any holiday

 or seasonal decorations.

It would be fun to make one for each month, 

or the change of the seasons.

This simple pattern is very versatile. Change the

 yarn colors, the buttons and decorations

 and have some fun. Add Some Braids and

 it's A Gnome Girl.

I think gnomes are silly and cute, my grand daughters

 thinks they are creepy, because you can 

not see their eyes.

Christmas Ornament Gift Bag Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Christmas Ornament Gift Bag

 Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

I designed this Gift bag to resemble a Christmas 

tree ornament when the drawstring is pulled to

 close the bag. I really love how it looks.

It measure about 10 inches tall and 14 inches around.

 So it has plenty of room for goodies and gifts. 

It's a really fun technic of stitching other the yarns

 and carrying them across. No cutting and attaching

 the yarn when we change colors. Makes a crisp even

 color change and a sturdy bag.

You can even just stuff with the bag with polyfiber, 

tie that drawstring tight and make it into large

 ornament for decorating!
