Lacy Autumn Cowl Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Lacy Autumn Cowl And Scarf
Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


The Lacy Autumn Cowl And Scarf is stitched using
 an open and lacy stitch pattern.
It perfect for cool weather and adding a touch of Fall
 To Your outfits without being too heavy. 

I choose To Use A Autumn Colorway, but of course,
 it can be made in any colorway of your choosing. 
Ombre, Striping, Variegated or Solids will all look lovely
 with this pattern.
You only need about two ounces of any
 medium (4) weight yarn.


I used I Love This yarn From Hobby Lobby. 
The colorway is called Autumn Stripe. 
I had it left over from a previous project.
Now I have a lovely lacy cowl for The coming Fall.

Thick And Thirsty Dishcloth Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Thick And Thirsty Dishcloth 
Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs


The Technique For The Thick And Thirsty Dishcloth
 makes a very dense cloth which makes it very absorbent.
 That's Why we called it 'thick And thirsty".
We are stitching half Double Crochet stitches, 
but stitching them through the front, back and 3rd loop.
 This is what give the cloth it's thickness.

This Technique also works great for hot pads and
 pot holders.  It is safe for working with hot items,  
because it is thick and does not have holes. 
It will protect your hands and surfaces.



This Cloth is so easy to adjust to any size because 
there is no multiples. Just add more chains for width, 
and add more rows for length. Measure as you go.

I also really like the way it stitches up when alternating
 two colors of yarn. And it has a little bit of texture
 for scrubbing and cleaning.

Coffee And Crochet Podcast - Avoid Holes In Beginning CH3 On DC Rows | Ph Pooch Designs

 Coffee And Crochet Podcast 
Avoid Holes In Beginning CH3
 On DC Rows
With Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs





How To Avoid Holes 
In Beginning of DC Rows

The Holes Happen When The Beginning
 CH3, Counts As The 1st Dc.

1. Ch2, Instead Of Ch3
 If The Ch3 counts as a dc, make sure to
 count the ch2 as that first dc.

2. Stitch A CH3, Then Make Your 
First DC A"Linked DC"
This close the hole and still give you the
 "ch 3 Counts as a  dc".

3. Stitch A Standing DC, Instead Of The CH3
The Standing dc will count as the 1st st the way the 
ch3 would have counted as the dc.

If you do not know how to stitch these methods, 
do not worry. 
I demonstrated all 3 in today's Video

Scrap Happy Bolster Pillow Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Scrap Happy Bolster Pillow 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs



The August Scrap Happy Crochet Pattern 
For Our 2022 Year Long Crochet Along 
Is The Scrap Happy Bolster Pillow.

It is a really fun crochet pattern, as well as,
 a very useful project. And pretty also.
It's basically a long tube pillow that you can make 
as long as you would like. It's great for decorating, 
a bedroom, living room or anywhere an extra 
pillow is needed.  It's also great for a neck pillow.
 I like to rest a book or my Ipad against it for reading.



I designed this Bolster Pillow using up some of my
 medium (4) Acrylic variegated, striping and Ombre yarns.
I am so happy with how it stitched up. 
I put it in my guest Bedroom.
I Love how it looks on the bed.
