Christmas Shimmer Peppermint Granny Square And Blanket Crochet Pattern

Christmas Shimmer Peppermint

 Granny Square

And Blanket Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I have wanted to design a Peppermint Christmas Blanket
 For a few years. I Love peppermint coffee, candy, 
ice cream and anything peppermint.  I could
 not decide on what yarn to use. That is until I found the

 Premier Basix Shimmer Peppermint. It is the perfect shade

of Christmas red, and bright white, and has a thread of

 metallic running through it. Yes, It is perfect matched

with the Bright White of the Premier Just Yarn. 

I decided to make it a granny square style blanket.

That way it can be just about any size, depending on 

how many of the 9 inch squares you want to make.

It is a throw blanket for tossing over a chair, couch or bed,

 but also a blanket for a Christmas baby gift.

It also makes a festive nice lap blanket.

The Squares can be used for a pillow, bag, wrap

 poncho and scarf. As well as, a table runner or 

place mats. That is why I love Granny Squares so

 much, there are just so many uses for them

November Yellow Topaz Crochet Square By Sara Sach

 November Yellow Topaz 

Crochet Square Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

 November Yellow Topaz Crochet Square is our 

crochet square For the month of November.

I designed it using 2 shades of yellow and white. I 

wanted the center to be dark and gradually get lighter,

 and trimmed with the darker yellow.

I love The how it starts round and ends up square.

It's was a fun Square to design, and fun to 

stitch up as well. And as usual I used all medium (4) 

weight acrylic yarns from my yarn stash for mine.

But remember you can use any colors of your choosing.
