Posh Pooch Designs Has New Fresh Look! | Posh Pooch Designs

 has been helping me  
freshen up my Blog and my Webpage.
She is very Smart, and I could not run my business
 without her!
I really hope you like the new look and bigger fonts.
I really love how clean it feels and 
have added some new tabs. 
Check them out!
They will help you find what you are looking for.
You can find my Webpage Here:
It is clean and simple.

Now I want to address a couple questions:
1. "Why do you have Ads on your Blog?"

Basically they help pay the bills.

I have ads on my Blog and Webpage 
because it cost money to run and maintain
both of them.

And, I can keep giving you Free Crochet Patterns.
If I didn't have the ads, all of my patterns would be 
paid patterns. And I enjoy designing free patterns for you.

I do try to keep the ads to things that interest you, yarn, 
patterns, crafts, craft classes, dog items and such.

2. "Why do you charge for some of your pattern, 
Why are they not all Free?"

There is nothing I love to do more then designing
 and writing Crochet and Knitting Patterns!

But, I do charge for some of  my Patterns to help take care 
of my pooch's medical and physical needs. And help to
pay our house hold bills in general. 
Basically, It is my job.
Designing, writing, editing, photography, 
editing photography, testing patterns, and
 formatting them. Takes a lot of time.
And Math! I HATE MATH!
And I do feel I should be paid for my time, 
like any other job.

I keep my Patterns inexpensive --NONE are over $4.99 
unless it is a Pattern bundle of 2 or more patterns.
My price points are $4.99, $3.99 and $1.50
You can find my Patterns in my Shops at:
I do Sell custom Items in my Etsy Shop as well.
Although, any item in any of my shops can be ordered
 as a custom item in any size. Just contact me.

3. Lastly, "What is the best way to contact you, 
with a question or comment?"

The best way to contact me is the "Contact" tab
At the top of the page. Just click that tab.
If you make a lot of comments on one blog, 
it thinks you are trying to "spam" my blog and 
will blog your comments.


I hope that answered your questions. 
And if you have more, feel fee to contact me.

Never miss a free pattern, update, news, 
contest or give away!
You can now follow our Blog, 
by getting it sent right to your email. 
There is a tab on the upper right side 
of the blog, sign up there.

Downton Abbey Yarn Review and Lady Mary's Triangle Scarf Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Lady Mary's Triangle Scarf
Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach of


PLEASE NOTE: 
THIS CROCHET PATTERN HAS BEEN RETESTED WITH A NEW YARN, AND
HAS NEW PICTURES AND A BRAND NEW VIDEO TUTORIAL
 AT THIS LINK 


Do you watch Downton Abbey?
Who is your Favorite Actor on the Series?

Many people do not care for Lady Mary,
 But she is my favorite.
She is strong and independent  and knows what she wants.
She is fashion forward and willing to take chances.
Lady Mary is Very Classy, just like my new design.

This is the box of fun Downton Abbey Yarns 
I received from Premiers Yarns
I was having trouble deciding which one to play with first.
But I finally decided to start with the Coral Shine.
See the Sparkle!
The Coral Shine is a (3) weight, so it is perfect for this 
Spring, light as a feather, Triangle Scarf.
It is an elegant yarn,  that Lady Mary would love.
She is such a " Fashionista"!

It is a lovely yarn to work with,  and has wonderful drape.
I can hardly wait to try the  Purple Shine and Teal Shine 
named after Lady Mary.

There are yarns named
 for Lady Sybil, Branson and Matthew in that box too.
I can hardly wait to play with them!

Please Note: This is not a Video Tutorial, it is a video to answer some of the questions about this Pattern.  The Lady Mary' s Triangle scarf, and the stitches you need to know how
 to crochet it.




Shell stitch trim.


I love Crocheting, and
 I Love watching Downton Abbey.
And I really love crocheting
while I watch Downton Abbey.

Lucy and Charlie Brown Dog Sweaters | Posh Pooch Designs

A few years back I designed these 2 Dog sweaters.
We have recently re-tested, 
re-edited and Up dated both these crochet Patterns.
And put them together in a Crochet Pattern Bundle.

 I named them Lucy and Charlie Brown 
because they resemble the Lucy and Charlie Brown
 of The Peanuts Gang.

The Lucy Style Dress is a simple dog dress with a 
gentle ruffle on the bottom, Small puff sleeves
 and cute little buttons on the back. 
The Crochet pattern can be stitched with
 or without the chest section.

The Charlie Brown Style Dog Sweater
is also a simple design and can be stitched with
 or without the chest section.
The zig zag stripes are done by simple
 granny square stripes.

Both these Sweaters are designed for Dogs 2-15 Lbs,
There are instructions for measuring your dog 
and adjusting the patterns to fit them.

Both are designed to be stitched with worsted weight (4) yarns, 
as to make them washable and durable.

Now you can 
Get Both Crochet Patterns for the 
price of one in my Etsy Shop
 at this link:




or you can purchase them
 separate at these links:

It's MY Birthday today!!!
My Dentist said I needed a crown,
and I was like, I know, right!
So I Made one!

 It is a Grown up Crown, not a little girl Crown.
But of course it would work for little girls too.
It Now has 4 Sizes included in the Pattern

It is made with Chunky (5) Yarn so it stitches up really quick.
 It is very soft and squishy.

Add buttons, gems, jewels or even diamonds if you want!
The band is thick so it can be worn as a head band, 
around your head and cover your ears to keep them warm.
So, you will look Regal and 
Be Warm and toasty as the same time!
