Gorgeous Granny Bag Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

Gorgeous Granny Bag

Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I Just love This Gorgeous Granny Bag.

I Love that it's made using Granny Squares and

I love Granny Squares. I also love the construction of it,

as well as, how big it is.

It measure 24 X 24 inches, and 6 inches deep.

It's the perfect size to use as a shopping or market bag,

but not too big to use as a purse or tote.

The pretty flap keeps everything neatly in side the bag.

You just need nine six inch granny squares

to make this bag. I used the Red Heart Granny Square

All In One Yarn, In the Soft White / Pink Punch color way.

You can use any six inch granny squares you want to

make the bag.

I made the standard or vintage style granny squares,

but you can use any style granny squares you like,

as long as they are 6 inch squares.

The Gorgeous Granny Bag can be lined.

A really simple way to line a bag can be found

at This LINK

Whether you line the bag or not, it's great bag

for lots of uses. Use it for shopping, A tote bag,

as a project bag, vacation bag or an everyday bag,

You will love using this bag.

FRIDAY FUN DAY! Mary's Mesh Shawlette Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

FRIDAY FUN DAY!

Mary's Mesh Shawlette

Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach At Posh Pooch Designs

It's FRIDAY FUN DAY!

I have designed a Quick Easy and elegant

crochet pattern for this week's Friday Fun Day!

I designed this shawlette a few years ago, Feb. 2016.

It was called the Lady Mary's Triangle Shawl. The Yarn

used is no longer available and so I decided it was

time for an update.

We retested the pattern, added new pictures

and a brand new video tutorial. And Of course it

needed a new name. So we changed the name

to Mary's Mesh Shawlette.

I had this beautiful yarn called Twirls At Twilight

from Hobby Lobby By Yarn bee, one of the

Sparkle Sugar Wheel Yarn Cakes.

It's a light(3) Cotton yarn with metallic sparkle thread

running through it. It's a perfect Spring and Summer

shawlette, and a wonderful addition to just about

any outfit. Whether casual and elegant you

will be noticed with this fancy shawl.

COFFEE AND CROCHET WITH SARA PODCAST - "The Joy of Bringing Joy To Others" And Yarn Comparison With Sara Sach

COFFEE AND CROCHET PODCAST
"The Joy of Bringing Joy To Others"
And A Yarn Comparison
With Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The Joy of Bringing Joy To Others

It brings me joy to bring joy to others. That is why I like

to do "Shout outs" of other Crochet and Yarn Artists

on Youtube. I believe we should be each others biggest cheerleaders not competition. I will be trying hard to do a Shout Out each week. Someone I have watched and enjoyed their channel, and think you will enjoy also.

This Week's Shout Out Crystal
(Chronically Crocheting) LINK

I get asked all the time
"Are Premier Just Yarn And

Premier Basix Yarn the Same?"
