Homespun Christmas Tree Skirt Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Homespun Christmas Tree Skirt Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

 I was going to release this design this last year, but time
 got away from me. So here it is a year later..and I love it!

It is a really easy pattern that stitches up fast.

It lays beautifully and sort of reminds me of one of
my old Christmas Sweaters!

I wanted a Rocky Mountain Colorado Rustic Feel.

It hasn't started snowing yet, so I put it around one
 of the trees in the side of yarn.

I chose this tree for the photo, for it's rustic pine tree look
 and imperfections. Those scars are from the Bucks 
rubbing their antlers on the it.

The yarn I used is Holiday Homespun, by Lionbrand Yarn.

 1 skein each of Red, Green and White.

 It is  lovely soft and bumpy yarn,with gold thread
 running through it.

It is a Bulky (5) yarn, so if you do not have this yarn, 

or want to use a different yarn, any Bulky (5) would

 probably work great.

As you can see from this picture, it is basically stitched in a pentagon shape, and has a fun and easy chain loop trim.
You do not have to use the same striping effect I used.
Change it up and see what Happens!

Christmas Cowl of Leftovers

Christmas Cowl of Leftovers
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I was going through my plastic tub of Christmas yarn.

 I have several balls of yarn leftovers  from various Christmas projects. And as I played with them, I thought, "Oh this one
 or that one would make a nice Christmas cowl".

Some are Sparkly, some are furry, some are plain. 

I love all sorts of textures and colors of yarn.

Then I thought, "I'll crochet a cowl with them all!"

So I did.

I LOVE IT!!!!

So here is what I did.

You need to think more like an artist on this project. Relax and let your creative juices flow.

And although, This Cowl is designed with Christmas Yarns, you can make this with any yarn leftovers you have on hand.

See The Video on my Youtube Channel at This LINK

Okay, lets get started!

This Cowl is stitched in rounds.

I will not be giving the yarn color changes.

as I just used up what I had, and changed colors, 
when I ran out of each color.

Crochet Throw For the Master Bed Room

I have been wanting to work on a Throw for the Master Bed Room.
 The colors Are Brown, Tan and Garnet.
 I could not find a throw Pattern that had what I was looking for.
 I wanted a simple pattern , but I also wanted it to look elegant.

This Pillow is my inspiration.

My mom bought it for me for my birthday

and I just love the color combination,

you can see it is a nice contrast to the comforter.

So here is what I have so far,

waves of garnet, brown and tan.

I am planning on putting fringe at both ends, too.

I think it is simple and Elegant.

As far a Crochet pattern.

It is basically

 (2sc, 2 dc, 2 tr, 2 dc, 2sc...continue across the row)

Then reverse the next row, to form the waves.

I tried using 3 of each stitch,

 but the waves were not very "wavy".

Well, I will keep working on it and keep ya posted!

12 Collars of Christmas #10 " Black & Silver"

12 Collars of Christmas  #10  " Black and Silver"
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

This is the perfect collar for a New Years Eve party 

or New Years Day get together.  

Your dog can wear it alone or paired with a sweater they already have to dress it up, and for added warmth. 

It is very easy to make and looks really festive and elegant. And because you just slip it on over their head, it is easy to put  on and easy to take off.
