Crochet Car Blanket for Pooches | Posh Pooch Designs

Car Blanket For the Pooches Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


THIS CROCHET PATTERN HAS BEEN
RETESTED AND UPDATED WITH LOTS OF NEW PICTURES 
AND A BRAND NEW VIDEO 
AT THIS LINK

I Love To take my pooches with me in the car,

And they love to go for rides in the car,
 When the weather permits it!

But they do not like to sit on the leather seat.

So I made them a thick pad to sit on.

I made it to fit perfectly in the bucket seat.

I tuck it in at the back, and it stays put.

It is also the perfect size for the cart at Pet Smart

 or Lowes. And a great fit For their crate, or even a rug 

for under the water bowl.

This Crochet Pattern has been retested and

 updated with lots of pictures 

and Brand new Video --

 Fits great and NO nails scratching my leather seats.

Now we are off to pet Smart for new Toys and Treats!

Pattern Sharing and Designers

I am a little miffed today!

When I give you a pattern for free, that is a paid pattern, in a give away or free gift  
that does not give you the right to "share" it with whom ever you feel.
The gift was for you.

I spend a lot of time coming up with new designs for my crochet patterns.

How do I do this?

Sketch, draw, pick colors, pick yarn, crochet test items, take pictures, edit pictures, (after many hours of training my dogs) type up the pattern, edit the pattern, test the pattern, have other designers test the pattern, have reg. people test the pattern, edit the pattern,

 Before it is even ready  to offer it for sale.

It takes many hours of preparation 

and work to design a crochet pattern- 

I will probably not be giving away

 free paid patterns anymore.

I love designing crochet patterns, 

I love to give patterns away.

I Love to be generous.

But it saddens me to see my 

Crochet patterns shared.

When you do this, it ruins it for everyone.

I am not going to go into the copyright thing, 

I am talking about dishonestly, and stealing.

Please, be thoughtful of 

Crochet Pattern designers,

and the work they do.

An Afghan made just for me!!!

When I came home yesterday, 

after playing with the pooches at the park,

 there was a package on my porch.

I had ordered some yarn from Joann's for 

Christmas presents,

and thought it was my yarn.

It wasn't..it was something even better then yarn.

It was this beautifully made Afghan.

Each square was made by one lady, 

and all the squares where carefully 

stitched together,

to form this beautiful blanket.

Each square has a tag to say who made each one.

Ladies, I don't know in person, 

 made this for me.

I am so humbled by their thoughtfulness.

My precious Momma had fought a battle 

with breast cancer,

 and she lost that battle  on July 16, 2013.

I miss her so much.

This beautiful blanket is a long distance hug 

from some wonderful ladies.

I Love that each square is different 

with different colors.

I Love the pooch appliques, too.

So much time and effort went to making this.

I am humbled by their care and thoughtfulness.

And as you can see, Maximo and Rosie Bell love it too.

These ladies also made a blanket for my Sister, Lisa.

I am looking forward to seeing the picture of hers.

Here is the picture of the beautiful afghan 

made for my sister.

She loves it. What a precious gift of love.

Thank you so much.

I love it.

Black Light Cowl Crochet Pattern

This Cowl was made with the New Red Heart Stripes
Super Saver Yarn!
The Small size is made with 
Red Heart Gum Drop Yarn in Licorice.

I designed this Cowl a few years ago, 
but I was recently asked to make a video.
When Red Heart released the new Stripes colors, 
I thought it was perfect for the cowl.

The Dog Cowl made with the Black Light Yarn By Redheart.

I made Rosie Bell a Cowl with it.

This Snood or Cowl Can be worn like a hood or a cowl.

The Cowl Crochet Pattern is completely adjustable

 for any size Dog or Pet.
