Vintage Christmas Boots Free Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Vintage Christmas Boots 

Free Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

The First time I saw The Christmas Granny Square Boots
 was in the Early 1970's when My Friend's Mom was 
making them. She put crumpled news paper in the toe
 of the boot. I think she used big pickle
 or mayonnaise jars to hold cookies she had made.

A few years later I was given one from my 
Sunday School Teacher.

She put tissue paper in the toe of the boot, and
 a big paper cup in the leg of the boot.

 She filled it with candy. The old Fashioned hard
 kind that tasted like cloves and cinnamon.

I pulled out that boot the other day, 
and decided to share it with you, with a modern twist.

I used Sparkle yarn From Hobby Lobby
/ I Love This Yarn Metallic and 

I Found these jars at my Local Grocery Store, 

And they are Perfect.

Holiday Penguin Coaster Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of

 Posh Pooch Designs

There is nothing cuter then a Penguin, 

so I thought a cute Holiday Penguin Coaster was the thing
 to design for one of the
Christmas In July 2018 Crochet Patterns.

I actually designed it last year, but decided to wait till

 this year to release it.

It is so fun and adorable, it was worth the wait.

This Coaster can be crocheted in Acrylic or Cotton yarn.

Cotton is more absorbent, but either one will work.

It's Whatever you prefer.

Yes, it's Cute, But it is also, Easy to stitch up.
