The Beach Picnic Blanket Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 The Beach Picnic Blanket 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

 We couldn't decide whether to call it a "The Beach Blanket"

 or  "The Picnic Blanket", we decided to call it both.

The Beach Picnic Blanket Crochet Pattern.

You picnic at the beach, right?

It's a really fun blanket design to stitch up. 

It's a fun way to incorporate some variegated yarn

 with a solid yarn with wide stripes. 

And it is a great way to learn Filet Crochet.

I designed the Blanket using Red Heart With Love Stripes

 Called Leisure Stripes For the Variegated, and Red Heart

 Super Saver in Aqua For the Solid Stripes. Both are 

Medium (4) weight Acrylic yarns. So they can be  machine washed and dried. YAY!

I stitched it up using a J/ 6.00 Crochet Hook.

This will give the blanket some flexibility and stretch.

May Flower 12 Inch Granny Square

Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach of

Posh Pooch Designs

I Love Granny Squares!

They are the best way to use up left over yarns, and

use up your yarn stash.

I Love to mix and match the colors and come up

 with new color groupings.

I Love the traditional styles, but I also love all

 the new styles as well.

I also like to mix and match the different styles.

 I have designed a 12 inch Granny Square that has mixed the traditional style and New Styles together.

May Flowers 12 inch Granny Square.

This Crochet Pattern is  photo Tutorial to help you with all the steps,

 but I still put the skill at easy, because there are no fancy stitches 

or techniques.
