 Coffee And Crochet Podcast 

Let's Get Loopy!
With Sara Sach Of  Posh Pooch Designs

I have had a few question lately about,

 "Which loops are what?"

What does That mean?

Chain Loops:

Front Loop, Back Loop And Bottom Bump

Stitch Loops:

 Front Loop, Back Loop And 3rd Loop

We talked about loops and I also did a demo 

of them to help you understand where the loops are.

We talked about chain loops, and stitch loops.

Yep, We Got A Little Loopy!

Flower Cluster Little Granny Bag Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Flower Cluster Little Granny Bag 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Posh Pooch Designs

The Cluster Flower Granny Bag is a fun drawstring bag.

 It's just what you need for carrying your phone and wallet,

 when you don't want to bring your purse with you.

It also makes a nice little purse for the littles. They will

 love to put their treasures in, and pull the drawstrings 

closed for safe keeping. They also make bright and

 cheerful gift bags.

If you want to make it into a cross body bag,

 just make your drawstring chains a lot longer.

This is fun project for using up assorted Medium (4)

yarns. You can choose the colors and make some

 pretty little bags.

Pennant Dog Bandanas Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 FRIDAY FUN DAY

Pennant Dog Bandanas 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

It's National Dog Day!

 The Day We Celebrate All The Dogs

In Our lives.

Woo Hoo! I Mean "Bow Wow!"

We are going to crochet a Bandanna

 / Bandana for Our dogs.

I designed this crochet pattern quite a few years

 ago, and decided today was the perfect day to retest, 

and update with new pics and a brand new video.

 This Crochet Pattern is designed in four sizes:

X Small

Small

 Medium

 Large

The Size is determined By How many "rounds"

 you stitch on your granny triangle. Continue the rounds 

for an even larger bandanna, or make one for yourself. 

You choose, the size, And the colors you want to make.

 I made Maximo And Rosie's in the 

Mustang, Oklahoma School Colors.
