Unicorn Dreams Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Unicorn Dreams Baby Blanket
 Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


This beautiful lacy throw blanket is a wonderful baby gift,
 but also makes a nice lap blanket for anyone. It's light
 and airy, still warm, but not heavy. It's a perfect size at
 22 X 26 inches to pop in your your Diaper bag, 
Purse or over night bag.
And, you can stitch it up larger if desired.


I called it The Unicorn Dreams Blanket because of the
 was it flows across the rows of stitches, and the way the
 beautiful yarn flows from color to color. The color 
changes blend together, as it changes colors. There are no abrupt color changes or knots of one color tied
 to another color. 
8 colorsways
100% Acrylic
3.5oz/100g, 174yds/160m
#4 Medium Weight

The Yarn is Called Premier Sweet Roll VIVID
By Premier Yarns.
It is a stunning yarn with 8 different colorways.
I chose the Moon Beam colorway for
 my blanket design.

FRIDAY FUN DAY! Letter Beaded Bracelets Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 FRIDAY FUN DAY!
Letter Beaded Bracelets
Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs



This is a really fun fun project and I just know
 you will enjoy this.
The Letter Beaded Bracelets are super easy and fun
 to make, as well as, fun to wear.

I Choose To Us The Word "Crochet".
 You can use any word or words you like.
You Will need to adjust the beads to center them.



Any medium (4) yarn will work and any beads, 
as long as they will slide onto your yarn, will work.
Think of all the color and bead combinations!
It's literally limitless.
I made several And I Love Them.
I Love the look of the Wooden beads, 
and I also love the look of the plastic beads. 


Get in your yarn stash and bead stash and use
 your creativity, and design some bracelets.
 I will warn you making these bracelets, are so so fun, 
it's is a little bit addictive.

Sweet Treats School Bag Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Sweet Treats School Bag 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Posh Pooch Designs


This Bag was  call The Sweet Treats Beach Bag.
I designed This Crochet Pattern June of 2014.
 We decided to give this crochet pattern a new name, 
Sweet Treats School bag. We also retested and up dated
 the pattern with new pictures and a brand new Video.


We changed the name because it's a perfect back to school
 bag for kids and adults, although it's still great for the beach,
 A project bag and for anything you want to use it for.


The pattern has been updated with new yarn, as well.
 We chose to use 3 colorways of Cotton Sprout by
 Premier Yarn. Lime, Turquoise, And island Breeze.
It is a med (4) weight cotton yarn. So it strong and
 durable, yet soft and beautiful.



See All The colorways at This LINK

And click the Yarn tab


The pattern is easy and stitches up quickly, so you will have
 plenty of time to stitch it up for school.
It has a love wave pattern that makes the colors flow, 
so it's as pretty as it is useful. It even has a pocket for 
your phone.
