Four Leaf Clover Coaster Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Four Leaf Clover Coaster 

Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

I Wanted To design a new St. Patrick's Day Coaster,
 And I wanted it a little bigger to fit large mugs.
 I also wanted it a little bit lacy.
I think The New Four Leaf Clover Crochet Coaster Pattern
 is exactly what I imagined in my head.

 It measures about 5.5 X 5.5 inches which is a nice size.

I designed it using several shades of green and 

several shades of white yarns.

I really love all the different looks of all of them.

All The Yarns are Cotton medium (4) weight yarns.

They are a mix of I Love This Cotton From Hobby Lobby,

 premier Cotton and peaches And Cream Cotton yarns.

If you are using These Coasters just to project the table, 

or for decorations they can be stitched up in Acrylic yarns.

Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

I designed this Fish Shaped Rug for my friend back in

 2013, when she has a new kitten. Now and she 

needs a new Fish Shaped Rug, because he has

 another new kitten.

So I thought it was a great time to update the 

pattern and film a brand new video. Although it's 

not one of the patterns For The Scrap Happy 

Crochet A Long, it is a scrap yarn project.

🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

The Rug is stitched using 2 Strands of 

Med (4) weight acrylic or cotton yarn.

Get in your yarn stash and come up with some

 fun color combination.

This Rug measures 18 X 8 Inches, and it also 

makes a great placemat for any one who loves 

cats, fish and fishing. Put some in your camper or RV for Camping and Fishing trips.

 Coffee And Crochet Podcast

Let's Talk About Weaving In

With Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

It's 2-22-22!

That Makes it Super Tuesday! 

☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕

Let"s Talk About Weaving In

 Your Ends.

Certain fibers, like thicker yarns,  can be more

 difficult to weave in.

 On Today's Video I showed you a few methods I prefer.

1. Stitching over your yarn ends/ tails.

2. Stitching in the stitches, not between stitches, 

with needle and yarn tails.

3. Stitching thorough yarn fibers with needle

 and yarn tail.

4. Weaving back and forth over your stitches,

again with needle and yarn tails.

5. I Know, "No Knots In Crochet".

I try not to use knots,

But there are times when a knot is what is needed.

Remember There is no "proper" way of 

weaving in your ends.

 You do what works best for you, 

and the yarn you are using.

Chunky Bucket Hat Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Chunky Bucket Hat 

Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I designed the Chunky Bucket Hat a few years ago for me.

I wanted a Bucket Style Hat, that was pretty, 

comfortable and warm.

When I found this lovely Bulky yarn I knew it was

 time up date the crochet pattern and make a 

brand new video.

The Yarn I used to up date the crochet pattern is called COLORFUSION Chunky, By Premier yarns. 

The Colorway I stitched up the hat in is Maui.

I think it's perfect for this hat design.

The yarn is a Bulky (5) yarn and  it is soft and sturdy.

I also stitched up one of the hats with bulky (5) 

using Charisma Yarn From Michael's in beige,

 For our video demo and I love how it turned out also.

This Bucker hat is designed for both the girls and guys,

And Will fir a 22 to 24 inch head. It is a loose and 

comfy fitting hat.
