The Granny Shoulder Bag Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 The Granny Shoulder Bag

 Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of   Posh Pooch Designs

The Granny Shoulder Bag is a new crochet pattern

 release that I have been working on for sometime.

I wanted the bag to be fun, and useful.

as well as, a bag design that would use up left 

over yarns from my Yarn Stash. It is designed using an 

assortment of Medium (4) Acrylic yarns from 

all my left over projects. Different colors, shades

 and brands. It turned out exactly how I wanted it.

It is a big roomy bag and holds a lot of things, 

and it is super pretty.

It is also a really easy Crochet pattern to stitch up.

It consists of 3 Granny Squares, stitched together 

to form a bag or purse. And the rest of the fun

is in the cute details.

You will notice there are 2 crochet hooks listed

 in the materials list.

Crochet Hooks – I / 5.500 MM - For Bag

                                        K/ 6.50 MM - For Bag Strap

We will be holding 3 strands of yarn together to 

form the bag strap so we need a larger crochet hook.

How I Recycle A Sweater | Posh Pooch Designs

How I Recycle A Sweater 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

On Today's Friday Fun With Sara Video

I show you how I take a sweater I no longer

 wear and make it into a fun set to keep you warm.

We made some Arm Warmers, 

a Cowl and a Headband. 

And trimmed them all with crochet.

This Was So Much fun!

Turn a Unused Sweater into...

A Cowl, Arm Warmers and a Headband

This is a fun way to reuse an old, or maybe a ruined sweater, 

and make it useable and new again.

Any size sweater will work, and of course

 any color or texture. I do not recommend a crochet sweater,

 a store bought knit sweater seems to work the best.
