Easy Does It Washcloth Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

Photo Tutorial and Video 

This is a great way to use up all those cotton yarns you have

 in your yarn stash, and make something pretty and useful!

I Called this Washcloth "The Easy Does it" Because

it is great for the kitchen as a dish cloth, or

 in the bathroom for a face cloth

 or wash cloth.

It can even be used as doily for a candle or dish.

Make a set of 2 or 3 for a gift.

It was wonderful to sleep listening to sound of the river.

We Took a Drive up Boreas Pass.

Lot's of Fall Color 

I really love this old Rusty wheel.

And learned about the Train Station.

Fun Little Key Chain Bag Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Fun Little Key Chain Bag Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of
 Posh Pooch Designs
I Designed this Fun Little Key Chain Bag for me.

I designed it to clip onto my Gym bag.

It is the perfect size to hold my gym card and  key fob.

It Measures 5  X 4 inches.
Hook it on your Backpack, Purse or Suitcase.
Keep medical, and personal info that's needed. Or an extra key.

The original pattern
 was written using
 Red Heart Cordial Yarn.
But it is Now
Discontinued.
So I searched
 for a another yarn
 that would work.
Paracord and Craftcord
 will both work for 
a cord type bag.

I Then decided to Try the Strata Yarn From Red Heart.

It is a great alternative, but It is now also discontinued.

then I found this new Yarn From Yarnspirations.

Bernat Maker Home Decor.

This yarn is perfect and it feels really similar

 to the Red Heart Strata.

So We retested, re-edited and Up dated The Pattern, New photos and

Made a Brand new Video.

Mamma That makes

Yesterday my Grand- Nephew, 

my Sister In Law's grandson, was born.

He is a preemie, Weighing in at 3 lbs. 8 oz.

He is a little fighter and I just know 

will healthy and grow strong.

Please, pray for him and
Follow him his progress here;
Harper's heart Warriors

Also, my "Coffee and Crochet Friends"

decided to make Preemie hats 

for our local Hospital.

I went in search of  some preemie hat patterns.

My first thought was, "I will design one".

But there are so many wonderful and 

adorable patterns, 

 it is not necessary.

Notes About Making Preemie Hats for Donating:

1. Best Hat Styles -

Beanie hats are best. Bonnets are cute but slip off and 

the ties can get in the way of tubing and such.

2. The best yarns - 

baby yarns, soft cotton, sport weight yarns

3. Buttons - 

I know some of these hat patterns do have buttons, 

but it is best NOT to add buttons. 

4. Appliques - these are great, they are best

 made of yarn and sewn on. Do not use any glues as they can be toxic.

The new parents love the little crochet flowers, bows, or any little detail.

Keep them small. 

5. Bows - These are great too, but again it is best if they are made

 of soft yarn and sewn on.

6. Ties, ear flaps or ribbon ties - These are fine, but they can get in the 

way of the tubes and things.

7. Always contact the hospital before donating to see what is needed, 

and what they prefer as all hospitals are different.

"Preterm birth is the most common cause 

of death among infants worldwide.

 About 15 million babies are preterm each year 

(5% to 18% of all deliveries)"
