Sturdy And Bright Easter Basket Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

Sturdy And Bright Easter Basket
 Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

I wanted to crochet some bright and cheerful 
Easter baskets, but every yarn or fiber I chose was just
not sturdy enough, or not bright enough. I was walking
 through Hobby Lobby and looked over and saw the 
Scrub-olgy yarn from yarn bee. It is the perfect yarn for
 my Sturdy And Bright Easter Baskets.


I Love how they stitched up, how bright the colors
 are, and how sturdy they are, also.


The Scrub-ology is 100% nylon, a bulky (5) yarn.
It is made for making scrubbies and scrubbers for 
cleaning, so it's a tough yarn. Perfect for the kids to play
 with and hold a bunch of Easter eggs and goodies.


They also make wonderful Spring Decorations.
leave the handle off and you have wonderful bowl for
 flowers and plants, and even treats.

FRIDAY FUN DAY! Joy Bears Easter Dress Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

FRIDAY FUN DAY! 
Joy Bears Easter Dress 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs 



๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿงธ
Meet The Joy Bears
Hope, Joy And Gabe
They are Best Friends who love to do
 lots of fun things together.

They are 16 inch Teddy bears by 
Build A Bear. 
I decided to design them some cloths.
I started with a simple Easter Dress 
that is easy to stitch up.
It does not have to be a bear, it can be a car, 
dog, bunny, mouse, frog, any animal,
or even a doll.


It is stitched up with medium (4) weight yarn.  
You can pick any color or colors you want, I bet you
 have something in your yarn stash that 
will be so pretty. And you can embellish them however
 you like. Crochet some flowers, a bow, or add a button,
 some ribbons or appliques.


 I have lots of plans for other outfits
 and accessories. So be looking for those
 in the future. I am so excited, I have so many fun ideas 
already in my notes, and want to get started on
 crocheting them up.
