The Ladder Headband Crochet Pattern and Video | Posh Pooch Designs

The Ladder Headband/ Ear Warmer
Free Crochet Pattern and Video
By Sara Sach of
 Posh Pooch Designs

I call it Both a headband and an Ear Warmer because it is wider then a traditional headband, but not quite as wide as an ear warmer, so it the best of both designs.

It's a Quick and Easy pattern, but looks classy When wearing it.

 Just takes about two ounces of any kind 

of Worsted Weight (4) yarn you have on hand.

The headband is stitched using 2 strands of yarn,

and I show you how to do that in the video.

If you want you could also use 1 strand of Chunky (5) yarn.

So there are so many possibilities for color and texture.

Then there is the buttons!

Enchanted Evening Cowl - Free Crochet Pattern, Yarn and Product Review | Posh Pooch Designs

Enchanted Evening Cowl Free Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of

 Posh Pooch Designs

I decided to Retest and update this Crochet Pattern

Using Lion Brand Scarfie Yarn, since the original 

yarn I designed this Pattern for is no longer available.

I decided on The Color Denim/ Navy and since

 it reminds me of the night sky, I kept the name.

The Scarfie yarn is Also a Chunky (5).

It is 78 % Acrylic and 22 % Wool.

It a great Combination for a warm, soft 

and comfortable Cowl.

Any Bulky (5) Yarn will Work for this Crochet Pattern.

Warm and Cozy. A perfect Cowl For A Cool Evening out.

Jelly Bean Slouchy Hat By Snappy Tots!

Today's Featured 

Free Pattern is the 

Jelly Bean Slouchy Hat 

By Snappy Tots!

I Love This pattern.

I Love Slouchy hats!

You can find it at this link:

Jelly Bean Slouchy Hat

 It has amazing texture 

and the is super easy to make.

The pattern is beginner friendly.

I chose Black and 

Black light yarn from

 Red heart on this one.

 One my 2nd hat I just used 4 different 

Worsted weight yarns I had on hand.

Depending on what color yarns

 you choose, 

and how you stripe it 

you get different results!

The way the hat is made it could 

easily be a ponytail hat, as well.

Reflective Yarn Dog Collar

This is More of a technique, then a Crochet pattern.

So I am going to tell you how I made a Dog Collar with

 Reflective yarn.

You can use Red Heart Reflective Yarn or 
Hobby Lobby Reflective Yarn or any yarn you want.

See The Video On my Youtube Channel at This LINK

Reflective Yarn Dog Collar By Sara Sach
Please add this Crochet Pattern to Your Ravelry Favorites

What You will need-

Tape measure 

Reflective Yarn - Amount depends on the size of the collar.

(both the red heart Reflective Yarn and 

Hobby Lobby Reflective Yarn will work for this project)

 H or G -Hook

Yarn Needle

A regular dog collar 

( I found some at the Dollar store)

After pricing, the buckle, clips and D rings, 
it was way cheaper

to use a reg. collar, then to buy all the pieces.

Skill: Super Easy

Stitches Used:

 Chain (ch)

Single Crochet (sc)

Okay, Let's Get Started:

Measure your dog's neck and set the collar to your dog's

 neck measurement.

With the reflective yarn of choice, make a slip knot,

then wrapping the yarn around the end of the collar,

 sc across until you reach the little buckle.

ch 3, then continue to sc around the collar

 until you reach the end of the collar. Next, tie off, 

weaving the yarn in at both ends.

AND That's it!

Both dog's wearing the collars.

Here is where I hang them, right by the door.

So all I have to do is put them on and take them off quickly.

I also have a crochet pattern for a leash and

 collar that would be perfect for this yarn.

Here is the link:

M & M Candy Crochet Hook Holder

How to make a 

Crochet Hook Holder out of the 

M & M Minis Candy container.

First, Buy a M & M Minis Container, 

and eat the M & Ms.

They are usually located

at the checkouts.

FYI :  the entire container only has 250 calories.

Next, remove the label. 

What you will need:

H - Crochet Hook

a few oz. of Worsted Weight yarn-

(I used Red heart black light)

1 cute small button

Stitches:

Single Crochet  (sc)

Slip Stitch ( sl st)

Pattern :

Note-Stitched in the round

R : 1 - Ch 2, 6 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, ( 6sc)

R : 2 - 2 sc in each sc, (12 sc)

R : 3 - *1 sc in the 1st sc, 2 sc in the next sc, Repeat From *, ( 18 sc) 

R - 4 - 1 sc in each sc, ( 18 sc)

R : 5-25 -  Repeat R : 4 

R : 26 - Sl st around the top of tube for a finished Edge.

Lid: Repeat R : 1-4, the sl st to the 9th sc, ch 10, sl st in the same st, this forms your button loop, sl st the last 9 sts, tie off leaving a 9 inch tail. use that tail to sew the lid onto the tube.

Finish: Slip the container into the tube, push the lid up inside the lid portion, use the loop to button the lid in place. 

The lid of the container will not snap shut. 

You can cut it off, but I left mine

 to help keep the form of the lid.

Slip your hooks inside and 

keep this in your to go 

Yarn project bag.

 You can also add a clip 

and clip it to the inside of the strap

of your bag.
