Christmas Shimmer Peppermint Granny Square And Blanket Crochet Pattern

Christmas Shimmer Peppermint
 Granny Square
And Blanket Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs




I have wanted to design a Peppermint Christmas Blanket
 For a few years. I Love peppermint coffee, candy, 
ice cream and anything peppermint.  I could
 not decide on what yarn to use. That is until I found the
 Premier Basix Shimmer Peppermint. It is the perfect shade
of Christmas red, and bright white, and has a thread of
 metallic running through it. Yes, It is perfect matched
with the Bright White of the Premier Just Yarn. 


I decided to make it a granny square style blanket.
That way it can be just about any size, depending on 
how many of the 9 inch squares you want to make.
It is a throw blanket for tossing over a chair, couch or bed,
 but also a blanket for a Christmas baby gift.
It also makes a festive nice lap blanket.


The Squares can be used for a pillow, bag, wrap
 poncho and scarf. As well as, a table runner or 
place mats. That is why I love Granny Squares so
 much, there are just so many uses for them

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.

Holly Jolly Gumdrop Blanket Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Holly Jolly Gumdrop Blanket
 Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


The Holly Jolly Gumdrop Blanket is so soft and squishy!
I wanted to make a new Fun Christmas Blanket for the 
living room Couch. I love the design of the mitered square.
It starts as a simple Granny square and makes such 
fun and easy design. I really love how it stitched up.


I designed the blanket using Premier Gumdrop 
Cake Yarn. It is a super bulky (6) yarn that is 
100 % polyester. It feels like velour, but much softer,
 yet sturdy. The Color is Holly Jolly and makes the
 perfect Holiday blanket. And would also be a wonderful
Christmas Baby Blanket.

Premier Gumdrop
10 colors
100% Polyester
7oz / 200g, 174yds / 160m
#6 Super Bulky

This #6 Super Bulky weight yarn can be stitched 
alone and without all those pesky ends to weave in 
or pair it with your favorite color of Premier Parfait® 
Chunky and start collecting compliments on
 your next project.
