FRIDAY  FUN DAY!

Mini Hanging Mandalas

 Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

These Mini Mandalas are 6 inches. They are the perfect size

 for decorating indoor or out side.

They are a fun way to use up some left over

 yarns and make beautiful decorations.

Make some to match any room or space.

You can hang them on the walls, or in a window.

They also make wonderful gifts.

They are as much fun to make as they are to give.

I Love how each color combination give them

 a different look.

I am hanging mine in sitting area on the front porch

 for added color and fun.

Go get into your yarn stash and see what fun color

 combinations you can come up with.

Tropicana Summer Top Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Tropicana Summer Top 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Of  Posh Pooch Designs

The Tropicana Summer Top is designed to be open

 and light. It can be worn over a tank top or sun dress.

 It makes a nice Swim Suit cover, also.

This Top is a great project if you have never made

 a crochet top and ant to learn. It is basically

 2 rectangles, joined to make a lovely top.

I think You will be surprised how easy this top is to make,

 and how comfortable it is to wear. 

The Pattern includes Sizes Small, Medium, Large,

 Extra Large and 2 x. The length is totally up to you.

 If you are short,  you won't need to add to the length,

 but if you prefer a longer top, just add more rows. 

Be Sure to measure as you work for a great result.

FRIDAY FUN DAY - Wild Flower Washcloth Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

FRIDAY FUN DAY! 

Wild Flower Washcloth

 Crochet Pattern 

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

Add  a touch of Spring to your bathroom, kitchen

or anywhere in your home with The Wildflower Washcloth.

It is precious, sweet and can also be used a doily 

for a vase of flowers, a candle or maybe a candy dish.

This Washcloth is made using cotton Medium 4 yarns.

It stitches up pretty quick, and once you make one,

 you will just have to make a bunch more.

The Washcloth does not have to be made in cotton yarns,

 Acrylic will due nicely, but I prefer cotton.

 It helps give the project a more crisp appearance.

Pin, Spritz and let it dry

1. Pin in place on a blocking board.

2. Spritz with water, do not soak, just damp.

3. Let it dry.
