Colorado Strong - Heart Granny Square Crochet pattern

Colorado Strong - Heart Granny Square 
Crochet Pattern By 
Sara Sach of
 Posh Pooch Designs

I have a lot of fun patterns 

and projects planned for this month.

Not only is it Colorado's Birth month, 

but also my daughter's, 

So check back often for lots of fun! 

 I worked on this Granny Square for 3 days 

trying to get the shaping on the heart right.

I was going for a 3D effect.

I do really like the the finished results, 

and think it would work for any colors.

It is a Simple Granny Square, and once you

 get the heart down down, the rest is a piece of cake.

I took a gazillion pictures trying to get the red rounds clear, 

but photographing red is quite tricky.

I think I got it pretty clear.

Colorado Flag Hat Crochet Pattern for Me and Maximo

So much has happened to people living in

Colorado this year.

But we are Colorado Strong!

I found this Colorado Hat Crochet pattern on Ravelry

By Nicole Coleman

here is the link: Colorado hat pattern

It is an easy pattern and 

even has instructions for ear flaps.

So I used my Crochet pattern for a 

striped dog beanie 

to make Maximo's hat.

I used the applique from the human hat, 

only used a F hook.

Here is the link for:  the dog beanie 

If you would like me to make one 

for you or your pooch,

 just contact me, 

and I will be happy to make you one!

Colorado Strong Graph Pattern

As I watched the news, 
wondering how bad the fires will get, 

here in Colorado this year, 
I wanted and  needed to keep my hands busy.

My hear goes out to all those 
who have lost homes and family members.

I saw this image on facebook and 

wanted to make a graph sort of like it.

I started with this.

 I reversed the yellow and the red, 

because I wanted the heart red.

But that is the beauty of a graph pattern...

You can stitch it what ever colors you want!!

Here is the graph stitched up, 

with the colors reversed.

Then Framed in a 8 X 10 Frame.

Please, Add This Crochet pattern to Your

Ravelry Favorites

Here is the Graph 9 X 11 inches

To Crochet the graph you will need:

H Hook

Worsted Weight Yarn

1 Square = 1 sc

You ch 40, starting the in 2nd ch from the hook, 

you begin working the graph from the bottom, 

Row 1, and work up.

Pray for Rain!
