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 Veterans Blanket Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Scrap Happy 

Veterans Blanket Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

It is Scrap Happy Monday 

and I am so happy with how this blanket stitched up.

I went through all my yarn stash and put together 

 red, white and blue yarns, solids, variegated, and striped

 colorways. I rolled them up all together and just had fun putting them together. The colors are in no particular order, how ever they randomly unrolled, is how I stitched up

 the blanket.

I designed this for American Veterans, but of course you 

can use any colors of your choosing. We use one strand

 of medium (4) weight acrylic yarn for the whole Blanket.

You do not have to use acrylic yarn, just make sure you

 use one fiber for the entire blanket. We want the 

blanket to be able to be put in the washer and dryer.

So it is easy to care for.

I designed the Blanket to be a large lap blanket that

 measures about 32 X 42 inches. I included the sizing

 and multiples in the pattern so you can adjust the 

width and length as needed. It is basically a 2 row repeat,

 once get started, and really easy to stitch up.

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!
