Scrap Happy Coffee Container Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Scrap Happy Coffee Container
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach Crochet
I Am Starting A New Series Called
"Let's Recycle"

I am finding items like containers and jars,
 that we through away, looking for ways to reuse
 them and incorporate Crochet and Crafts into it.

The Scrap Happy Coffee Container is easy and fun
 to make, and also has a lot of different uses for it.
A yarn "bowl", and a plant and flower pot. 
It makes a great storage container for lots
 of different things.



I designed it using the Scrub It Yarn from
 Hobby Lobby, using up some leftover 
yarn scraps. So I can even use it outside, 
since it is designed to get wet. I can put my garden
 tools in it or use it as a flower pot, or
hanging flower basket outside.


The Container is a 24 oz. Coffee container from
 Aldi. The Folgers and other brand containers will
 work great also,since the are about the same size.
Do not throw out those left over coffee containers away,
 let's make them pretty and useful.

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!

Scrap Happy Snake Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Scrap Happy Snake Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs



To be honest I am terrified of snakes! 

YIKES!

I have a bunch of bulky (5) weight yarn in lots
 of different colors. So, I thought making a fun and
  cute snake with it would be a good idea. 
I actually had a fun time making this snake and 
putting a cute face on it.  
This is one snake I am not afraid of.
And it can be used as a draft dodger, to block the
 air getting in under the door or window.


I used Safety eyes on the snake, but if this is for 
young kids to play with, I recommend using black
 yarn and friend knots. 
We want to keep those little kids safe.
