From Rosie And Me To You

"Thank You And Merry Christmas!"

I decided I wanted to stitch up a new Christmas Blanket

 for Rosie, my Chihuahua this year. I like to lay a blanket

 on the couch to keeps her hair off the couch, and 

 a nice place to sit. I wanted it to be a Christmas 

crochet pattern that any one could make

 for any time of year.

Looking though my Christmas and Holiday yarn stash, 

I found 2 yarns I think compliment each other nicely.

The Herrsherners Worsted, Very Merry and

            Premier Yarn Basix, Merry Multi. Both are 

Medium (4) Weight acrylic yarns. 

One is a long striping yarn and the other a variegated.

I really love how they worked up together. 

I changed colors every 2 rows, and used the long striping

 yarn for the trim. I only chose that because I had

 more of that particular yarn. This just goes to show

 you that colors and styles you think do not go together,

 can end up looking so pretty together.

I think Rosie loves it !

It measures about 28 X 32 inches with the trim.

I did add the multiples so you can adjust it as needed.

Although, I designed it for my Rosie, it does not mean

 it is only for dogs. This blanket can be made for anyone,

 pet or human.

Scrap Happy Chunky Blanket – Corner To Corner (C2C) By Sara Sach

 Scrap Happy Chunky Blanket 

 Corner To Corner (C2C)

 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

My Chihuahua Rosie had to go to the Dog Emergency

 room. She hurt her back jumping off the bed and 

also hurt her paw. She had to have a little surgery. 

I took her in her favorite blanket so she would feel more comfortable.  Well, She got nervous and had an 

accident on her blanket. It's Max's favorite, too.

 OOPS!

 We had to throw it out.

Old Favorite Blanket

That's okay Sweet Rosie, I will make you a new one.

So I got into my chunky yarn stash and began making

 them a new blanket. It is made using the C2C technique.

This stitch pattern several names.

 This method has  been called

 the "Crazy Stitch" And the "Diagonal Block Stitch",

as well as, other names. It is is commonly known as the 

"Corner To Corner or C2C Stitch" that we are using today.

New Favorite Blanket

The Blanket is a Square when completed. Although, 

I am making this for my dogs, it is not just for dogs. 

It's perfect for anywhere or for anyone who needs

 a blanket. And so you can make the square as

 large as needed.

It's Max and Rosie Approved!

I have been working on this new Blanket for some time.

I would finish a square, then set it down.

I liked the Heart, Paw Print and Dog Bone,

 but was having trouble deciding on 

what the 4th square should be.

Then as I was sitting there sipping coffee,

 it came to me...

Design a Coffee Mug Square!

I really like how it turned out.

So Happy to finally have it finished! 

The Blanket is designed with Red Heart With Love.

this Yarn is perfect, it is strong, soft and washable.

I also made a Video to help you.

 The Video has tips about:

 Reading graphs, 

Starting the C2C,

 Changing Colors

 and Descreasing.

Pixel Graph Dog Blanket Crochet Pattern

Sweet Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

The Sweet Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern.

By Sara Sach of

 Posh Pooch Designs

 It was originally designed using the yellow and Blue yarns,

 in a striping design.

I decided it would look good using the 

new Caron Baby Cakes yarn by Yarnspirations.

I Love How it Worked up.

This is the Baby Blanket To match

The Sweet Baby Doll Stuffie.

The Blanket Is designed with the same yarns 

as the baby doll, so it is washable.

It measures about 24 X 24 inches.

It is a great size for a dog or cat blanket as well.

Rosie and Maximo Approve!

It is easily adjusted to make it bigger, as this is also

 a great pattern for a regular baby blanket or lapghan.
