The Homespun Everyday Shawl Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 The Homespun Everyday Shawl
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach by Posh Pooch Designs


The Easiest and  Quickest Shawl Pattern 
you will ever make!

I Designed This Crochet Pattern September 2014 
and decided it as time to retest, update and
 film a brand new video.

Do you have some Homespun style yarn 
laying around and can not figure
 out what to make with it?

Homespun Green Apple, Cream

It's an absolutely beautiful yarn,
 but hard to work with, right?
This yarn can be a little tricky to work with, 
but this pattern is a snap!

Homespun Bourbon

R: 7 - R: 30 -- Repeat R:6 -
You should have 2 increases for each row.

Super Nova Wrap Scarf Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Super Nova Wrap Scarf 
Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

It's A Super Scarf, A Wrap Shawl 
And Throw Blanket.


What is Boucle Yarn?
"Yarn With a looped or curled ply" 



 Crocheting with this Boucle yarn.

1. Choose a large project.  Do not try to make little 

intricate designs.
Most of the color variegation can not be seen with a small
project. I suggest scarves, throws, blankets and cowls.


2. Choose a project with very little detail. 
Most intricate detail is lost because of the bumpy and
fuzziness of the yarn.


3. Crochet loosely - It is better to be too lose then 
too tight with this type of yarn. It is hard to find the
stitches if you crochet too tightly, and just as hard to work
with if you are a tight stitcher.


4. Lastly, don't let the yarn frustrate you. 
Make a practice swatch, and study how to find your
stitches, and where to place your hook.
If you are struggling with it, set it down and come back later.


Examples of Boucle Yarn:
Homespun
Lion Brand Boucle
Lion Brand Textures
Bernat Pipsqueak
Country Loom
Red Heart Stellar



It is a thick boucle, so I made the pattern simple to crochet. 
But the end result is definitely not simple.
It's Classy, Warm and Comfy.
Although this yarn is a bulky 5, it is not heavy, 
and yet still very warm.

Homespun Christmas Tree Skirt Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Homespun Christmas Tree Skirt Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

 I was going to release this design this last year, but time
 got away from me. So here it is a year later..and I love it!
It is a really easy pattern that stitches up fast.
It lays beautifully and sort of reminds me of one of
my old Christmas Sweaters!
I wanted a Rocky Mountain Colorado Rustic Feel.
It hasn't started snowing yet, so I put it around one
 of the trees in the side of yarn.
I chose this tree for the photo, for it's rustic pine tree look
 and imperfections. Those scars are from the Bucks 
rubbing their antlers on the it.

The yarn I used is Holiday Homespun, by Lionbrand Yarn.
 1 skein each of Red, Green and White.
 It is  lovely soft and bumpy yarn,with gold thread
 running through it.
It is a Bulky (5) yarn, so if you do not have this yarn, 
or want to use a different yarn, any Bulky (5) would
 probably work great.

For Tips on How To work With Homespun Style yarns
click this LINK
As you can see from this picture, it is basically stitched in a pentagon shape, and has a fun and easy chain loop trim.
You do not have to use the same striping effect I used.
Change it up and see what Happens!

This simple pattern is a great way to use up some
 of the Homespun style yarn you have and don't
 know what to do with it.

This Cowl is made using Homespun Yarn, 
the colorway is Water Fall.

I love how the fringe fluffs out and gets a little fuzzy.
Because this yarn can be a little tricky to work with.
