Scrapilicious Granny Blanket Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs


Scrapilicious Granny Blanket
 Crochet Pattern 
 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs 


Almost on a daily basis, I get asked, "I have a bunch
 of yarn leftovers, what can I make with them?"

This blanket is a great way to use up all those scraps
 in your yarn stash, and make something useful.
You can use solids, stripes or variegated.
What ever you have left from previous projects.

For Best Results I recommend holding 3 Strands of (4)
 And I would stick with the same fiber content.

The Pattern is stitched using 3 strands of worsted weight
 (4) yarn held together, and a big 10.00 MM.
And is a rectangle granny Square, and A Simple Single Crochet Trim. 
It measure about 36 X 44 if made like the pattern,
 But you can make it as big as you like.
It makes a heavy warm blanket or mat.

Coffee Cup Coaster Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs


Coffee Cup Coaster Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

☕☕☕IT'S COFFEE TIME !☕☕☕


This is a very old crochet pattern that I decided re- release.
I have retested and updated the pattern.
 Added new pictures and a brand new video.


Since it is a Coaster, I decided to stay with cotton yarn.
If you prefer acrylic yarn, That will work also.
Cotton absorbent and great for hot liquids, but Acrylic is fine if you are just wanting to protect your wood surfaces.
Whichever you prefer.
The pattern looks great with solid yarns, and is also
 cute with variegated yarns.

Date Night Cowl Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs


Date Night Cowl Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs



The Date Night Cowl is the perfect touch for
you evening attire,
But also looks great with a casual outfit, as well.
The yarn is soft a little fuzzy, not too fuzzy, 
just fuzzy enough to add a little fun to your outfit.

The Caron Latte yarn is A Bulky (5)
I think it is closer to a Med. (4)
The Fuzziness of the yarn is probably while it is in the
 Bulky (5) category.
I A Med (4) yarn is an acceptable substitution
 for the pattern.




Wear it as a cowl

 during the day,


 then as  a Wrap


 for the evening. 


Add a Fancy pin

 for touch of elegance.
