From Rosie And Me To You

"Thank You And Merry Christmas!"

I decided I wanted to stitch up a new Christmas Blanket

 for Rosie, my Chihuahua this year. I like to lay a blanket

 on the couch to keeps her hair off the couch, and 

 a nice place to sit. I wanted it to be a Christmas 

crochet pattern that any one could make

 for any time of year.

Looking though my Christmas and Holiday yarn stash, 

I found 2 yarns I think compliment each other nicely.

The Herrsherners Worsted, Very Merry and

            Premier Yarn Basix, Merry Multi. Both are 

Medium (4) Weight acrylic yarns. 

One is a long striping yarn and the other a variegated.

I really love how they worked up together. 

I changed colors every 2 rows, and used the long striping

 yarn for the trim. I only chose that because I had

 more of that particular yarn. This just goes to show

 you that colors and styles you think do not go together,

 can end up looking so pretty together.

I think Rosie loves it !

It measures about 28 X 32 inches with the trim.

I did add the multiples so you can adjust it as needed.

Although, I designed it for my Rosie, it does not mean

 it is only for dogs. This blanket can be made for anyone,

 pet or human.
