Colorado Coaster Free Crochet Pattern 

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

Colorado, The Centennial State,
Celebrates It's 143rd Birthday
August 1st.

So Let's Celebrate!

"Colorado became the 38th state to join the Union,
 August 1, 1876. 
On this day in 1876, Colorado became the 38th state
 to join the Union
 when President Ulysses Grant signed a proclamation of statehood. 

Colorado is known as the Centennial State because it won statehood 
the same year the United States celebrated its centennial. 
The name Colorado reflected the belief at the time that the
 Colorado River originated there."

Read How it happened Here : LINK

To Celebrate I designed a Quick

 and Easy Coaster to resemble 

the Colorado Flag.

Colorado Washcloth and Graph Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Colorado Washcloth and Graph 
Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs
The month of August is almost over.

That means Colorado Birth month is almost over.

I like to give my guests a small
 "Thank you for visiting us gift".

Usually  a couple of washcloths tied with a pretty ribbon.

I think a couple of Colorado Washcloths
 would be a great gift and 

fun memento of their Colorado trip.

So I sat down and designed a Colorado Graph 

that would be a nice nice for a washcloth or dishcloth.

It measures 7 X 7 inches

Colorado Washcloth Graph Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

Please, add this to your Ravelry Favorites

Skill: Easy

Materials:

Hook - H

Yarn- Cotton Yarn, I Love This Cotton/ Hobby Lobby

             But any cotton yarn will work.

            Blue, White, red, yellow 

yarn needle for weaving in your ends.

Stitches:

Chain (ch)

Single Crochet (sc)

Size - 7 X 7 inch

Notes:

We will begin stitching the graph from the bottom

Ch1 at ends of rows, does not count as a st,

 it is a turning chain.

You will have a Front Side and a Back side.

Made sure you always pull your yarn to the

 back of your work when changing colors.

How to Change Colors - click HERE

Ch 24, starting in the 2nd ch from th end, 1 sc in each ch across.

Follow Graph starting at Row 1, working your way up the graph, 

Stitching a sc for each 'square" of the graph,

 changing colors as the graph shows.

When Graph is completed, sc evenly around , placing 3 sc in each corner,

 for neat finished edge.

This is a fun little project.

I think I will make them in sets of 3 for my guests.

May be a solid red and Solid yellow and This one.

I don't know, 

But I do know, it will be fun making them,

 and giving them.
