Garden Sign You Design Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I Found This Cute Garden Sign At my Local Hobby Lobby

 When I was searching for the clearance sale.

When I saw it I decided I wanted to make a s

fun garden or yard sign for Spring.

 It would also look nice on an interior door or

 wall in any room in your home. 

The hanger is 7.9 X 5 inches

but The Sign we make to hang on it is 6.5 X 8 inches

Other Options For A Sign Hanger.

1. A small wooden dowel

2. A wire hanger

3. A thin stick from the yard

There Are 5 Steps In Making the Sign.

You can personalize the sign by getting into your yarn

 stash and button stash, and have some fun. 

Choose the colors you like, the buttons you like and even appliques your like. Make it to fit your style.
