Sand And Sea Poncho Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Sand And Sea Poncho 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I designed The Sand And Sea Poncho a little over 10 
Years ago. I decided it was time to retest the pattern, 
and redesign it with some new yarns. I really love how
 the updated pattern turned out. I hope you will as well.
The original Pattern was only written in 1 Size 
We have worked hard to adjust the Pattern 
 to roomy sizes of XS - 4 X.


I chose to update the Crochet Pattern with Premier Yarn's
Basix Marl Yarn, the color is called Caribbean Marl.
It has beautiful waves of aqua blue running through it like
a tropical beach. I used the Premier Basix yarn for the top
and bottom accent in the color Nutmeg to represent
 the sandy tropical beaches.




Both These Yarns are soft And comfy, but not too heavy.
You Can See all The Colors By 
Clicking My Premier Yarn LINK


The Sand And Sea Poncho is so comfy to wear. It is great 
for everyday wear over a sun dress or tank top. It also
 makes a lovely bathing suit cover up. You will look super cute in this poncho no matter how you chose to wear it.

Flag Day Washcloth And Doily Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Flag Day Washcloth And Doily 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs



The American Flag Day is On Jun 14 , 
it is a very important day for me.
We are a very patriotic family because my husband 
served in The US Air Force. We have lots of family 
members who served. My Father in Law, my son where
 also in the US Air Force, My little sister was in the Navy.
 And my husband's uncle served a Navy pilot and was a
 Prisoner of War at The Hanoi Hilton. His Name is Eugene
 "Red" McDaniel. He is an American Hero.

I decided to make something that we could stitch up quickly
and would very useful. The Crochet Pattern can be a
 washcloth, a doily or just a Patriotic Decoration.


I love the Chevron style pattern, It makes me think of
 the Flag blowing  and flowing in the wind. And The 
Washcloth is nice size at 12 X 12 Inches.

Here is quick history of our American Flag - 

History of the American flag

The flag of the United States is a symbol of freedom before which Americans recite the Pledge  of Allegiance.

The flag's 13 red and white stripes represent the 13 original colonies. Its 50 white stars on a blue background represent the 50 states.

Each of the colors on the flag has a meaning:

  • Red: valor and bravery
  • White: purity and innocence
  • Blue: vigilance, perseverance, and justice

A star is added to the flag when a new state joins the United States. The flag was last modified on July 4, 1960, when Hawaii was incorporated as a state.
