Picot Granny Spring Throw Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach of

 Posh Pooch Designs

THIS CROCHET PATTERN HAS BEEN RETESTED AND 

UPDATED WITH NEW  WITH PICS AND 

A BRAND NEW VIDEO AT THIS LINK : LINK

This is a wonderfully light throw and also works

 great as wrap or shawl.

The perfect thing to have on hand for those cool 

spring mornings and evening. 

Toss it across the back of your chair, and toss on your

 shoulders at the office that freezes you out.

I used the Caron Cakes Yarn in the Strawberry Kiwi.

 It takes about 10 ounces, but you can make it as large

 as you would like.

It is a very simple Rectangle Granny Square,

 trimmed with a fun picot stitch.

These light Throws also make great lap blankets, 

or an extra blanket to keep in the car.

Live Video Chat How To "Measure As You Go" When Crocheting | Posh Pooch Designs

This Weeks Live Video Chat With 
Sara Sach of

 Posh Pooch Designs

We will be discussing what
 "Measure as You Go"

 means, when Crocheting.

Have you every finished a project,

A Hat, Scarf or Blanket and

 the size was nothing like the pattern said?

And You even made a Gauge Swatch!

See The Live Video Chat on My 

Youtube Channel at This LINK


Although Gauge is very important,

 we are not talking about gauge. 

Today, we are talking about measuring as you go.

Because even if you made a swatch, that does not

 mean you are crocheting at the same gauge,
 as you did your gauge swatch.

 See a Video on the importance of Gauge

 at this LINK

How Do We "Measure As We Go"?

1. Measure the thing or person who is going to use 
what you are making?
I always keep my Tape measure and Short Ruler next to me.
I measure everything.

2. Measure what you are making often.

Do not just rely on what you think, or what the Pattern 
says it will be sized.

3. Do not finish your item, and then measure and
 get mad at the Designer of the Pattern.
Even if you used the same hook and yarn, 
you may not match the tension of the Pattern Designer.

Even When you purchase pre-made items in the store, 
not every item in that size, color and style
 will be exactly the same.

4. REMEMBER, Everyone Crochets differently, 
and with different tensions.
Even your emotions can determine how
 loose or tight you crochet.
I even Crochet tighter when I am watching 
an intense movie!
Your tape measure is one of the most important 
tools in your crochet bag.
