Mystery Crochet Along - 

Step 3 Is Posted Early!

I realized Tomorrow is 

My Mom's Birthday.

(her 2nd one to celebrate in Heaven)

So, I decided to post 

Step 3 A Day early.

I think By now you have guessed it is a ball.

I know some of you will probably 

ask about putting a squeaker inside.

 You certainly can, but I did not.

It has been my experience that Squeakers 

are a choking hazard.

If you missed the Beginning 

of the Mystery Crochet Along:

Find the info steps at these links:

Mystery CAl Info and Materials List

Step 1

Step2

Do not over stuff or Small Dogs 

will not be able to grab" it with their teeth.

Step 5 Will be the "decorative details".

Step 3 - Finishing the Puppy Ball Shape

R : 29 - Change to C4, *1 sc in the next 7 sc, 1sc dec* 

Repeat From * to * around(64sc)

R : 30 -*1 sc in the next 6 sc, 1sc dec* Repeat From * to * around

(24sc)

R : 37 - 1 sc in each sc (24)

Stuff the ball with the fiber fill loosely. 

You  want the ball to be able to be grabbed by hand or a dog mouth.

R : 38 -*1 sc in the next  sc, 1sc dec* Repeat From * to * around

(16sc)

R : 39 - 8 sc dec sts (8 sc) Cut yarn leaving a 12 inch tail for sewing closed.

Stuff the top of the ball more if needed, and sew closed. 

Just 1 more Step to go!!!!!

June Coaster Of The Month - Patriotic African Flower Free Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

African Flower Coaster 
Free Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

June Coaster Of The Month 

I am Very Patriotic and love to design anything with 

Red, White and Blue yarns. I found the Variegated at Michael's

and After using it for my placemats, I just knew I had to make some coasters, too.

I was going to incorporate blue, but could not find one 
that matched the blue in the variegated yarn. 
All of them were too light.

I think they look good even without the blue.

So, now you can make a set of 

4 placemats and 4 coasters for less then 10 bucks!

Round Cotton Placemat Free Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Round Placemat Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of
Posh Pooch Designs

Are you ready for all The Summer

 picnics and parties?

I decided to re-test, re-edit and update this Crochet Pattern
  I used Sweet Roll Yarn By Premier Yarn.
It is an Acrylic Worsted Weight (4) Yarn.
It took about 2.5 oz.

You can make this Placemat with Acrylic Yarn,
 as long as, you do not place anything hot on it.

Also works great as a Doily.

This placemat is the perfect dining accessory.

You can whip them up quickly, and

 You can toss them in the washer and dryer.

 You can make one with just one ball of Cotton yarn.

 I used Peaches and Cream.

I made 2, 
one with a J/ 6.00  Hook and 1 With an H/ 5.00MM Hook

with a J hook, Just to see how it would stitch up.

I Love it and it is still made with just 1 ball of yarn.

Sunny Day Dog Sweater Dress New Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Some of my designs I love more then others.

An I really love This one.

It is super quick to stitch up,

but it is also super easy to put on your dog or cat.

No buttons, Velcro, or snaps to get caught in their

 delicate neck or tummy fur.

 You just slip it on and go!

Rosie loves it!

It has a full tummy section,

 but with plenty of room for potty time.

And also has a fun shell stitch edge to make it girly.

Leave off the edge and it is perfect for the boys.

The open weave skirt lets in lots air so it is not too warm,

 but also perfect for cool morning and afternoon walks.

The Crochet pattern includes 3 sizes:

X-Small, Small And Medium

For Dogs 2-15 lbs.

The Pattern can be worked with any 

worsted weight  (4) yarn, 

I like to choose wash and dryer friendly yarns 

for dog and pet sweaters. 

Then i do not have to worry 

about them getting dirty.

You can add any embellishments

 that you want.

I added a little bow, 

since the yarn I chose was so busy.
