Yarn Needle

Measurements - Neck to point is 6 (8,10) inches inch,

Wing span is 10, (12, 14) inches

As you stitch up this poncho, I want you to relax 

and think of this as an art project,

 rather then a "Crochet Pattern". Have fun using up your
 left over yarns, and create a one of a kind,

 piece of Art that your pooch or cat can wear.

Note: The striping and color changes
 are going to be different for everyone, 

depending on what yarn scraps you have.
 I used only solid color yarn,

 but you can use prints or variegated, 
What ever you have in your scrap basket.

Pattern-

R : 1  - Ch 13 (16, 21) Starting in the 2nd ch from hook, 1sc in each ch, ch 1 turn

(12, 15, 20 sts - you st counts will not change)

R : 2 - *sc in next st, dc in the next st* Repeat From * to * across row,

Ch1 turn

R : 3 - *dc in next st, sc in the next st* Repeat From * to * across row,

Ch 1, turn

Make sure you stitch a sc in a dc, and a dc, in a sc.

R : 4-34(38, 42)  - Repeat R : 2 and R ; 3 alternating rows.

Tie off and weave in your ends.

Repeat R : 1 -34(38, 42)  Again for 2 pieces.

Lay the 2 pieces together as shown in the picture and pin in place.

Flip wrong side out and sew them together. Then Flip back to right side out.

You can also refer to the

Scrap Happy Poncho for people.

The Neck Line- 

R : 1 - Attach your yarn to the center of the V on the back of your poncho,

sc evenly around the neck line. Join to the 1st sc, ch 1

Now you will need to relax and not worry about st counts,

 as much as placement of sts. 

R : 2 -3 -*1 hdc in the next st, hdc tog the next 2 hdc*

Repeat From * to * around neck line, join, ch 1

R : 4 - 1 sc in each st around, join, tie off.

Trim- 

Attach yarn to the "point" in the back of your poncho, 3 sc in that point,

sc evenly across the bottom of the poncho, 3 sc in the point on the front

 of the poncho, Then continue to evenly sc across the bottom of the

 poncho, join and tie off. Weave in all your ends.

Pom Pom -

Using several strands of different color yarns, make a big pompom

 and sew it on the front of the Poncho.

How I make pom poms.

How I Design and A free Cute Pattern

How I Design a Crochet Pattern &

A Free Leg Warmers for Dogs Crochet Pattern.

Many people have asked me how I come up with all 

my fun and sometimes crazy ideas for Dog apparel. 

Sometime I get suggestions, and sometime I have 

 ideas swimming around  inside my head.   

When I decide on a specific idea, I usually

 draw a very rough picture.

See The Video on my Youtube channel at this LINK

 In this blog we are going to Design Leg Warmers for:

Maximo and Rosie..The world's Cutest Dog Models!!!!

I am a visual learner, some would say "an artist", 

but looking at that drawing, no one would say that now. 

But anyway, I need to see it on paper to see
 what I want to create. 

As you can see I also take a few measurements.

 I then decide what stitches I want to use. 

Since these are very small, 
I decided to use Single Crochet. 

I want them to be stretchy so I  am going
 to stitch the rows Vertically.

I begin with a chain, and from there design the pattern.

 I write down the pattern in the notebook as I go. 

This way I can change it,  

and make marks and ideas, about the pattern as I go.

It probably looks like Scribbles to you,

 but it makes perfect sense to me ( most of the time).

I always measure, over and over again. Crocheting

can be tricky and I want my finished project to fit.

I Love Ravelry!

I Love Ravelry!
A few weeks ago my daughter and grandbabies were home visiting for the week-end. We were walking in the "Walk for the cure". As my mother is fighting Breast Cancer.



Me, Mom in the pink hat, Grandaughter Calleigh, Daughter Elisabeth

 During my daughter's visit she asked if I had heard of Ravelry. Elisabeth has a at home Business called "Calleigh's Clips and Crochet Creations"  (check out her button.) Well, I said no, So she showed me the web page.

OH  My Goodness! I was addicted immediately!!
                                                             http://www.ravelry.com/

So what is Ravelry?

 It is a Crochet and Knit community of wonderful people. All sharing thier projects and patterns and ideas.  If you Crochet or knit you must check it out!

Then my Daughter said, "you should put your patterns on Ravelry and see if people would like to buy them." All my designs were and are in my head. I only crochet dog and dog related items, well mostly.
All the patterns are my own designs. The hard part was going to be putting them on paper. I mean I know what I do...but didn't know how to tell  what I do.

 LOL Sounds funny, but Crochet Design is a Art to me.


Just a few of my Creations:


Beanie For Small Dogs



Posh Snuggle Pouch



Rosie's Basic Sweater for Dogs



Dog bone Rug or Mat

So I have begun to load my patterns on Ravelry!  Some are Free, Most are not. But these are one of a kind doggie sweaters, hats, snuggle bags, costumes, doggie stuff and more. 




Please, Go check out "Ravelry" you will find yourself as addicted as I am.
