 Gradient Grace Top 
Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs




The Gradient Grace Top Is a very easy Crochet
 Pattern. Once you stitch up the first few rows,
 it basically a one row repeat. You just follow 
the stitches for your size. 
It's the Yarn that gives this crochet pattern
 its elegant look.




The Gradient Grace Top is Designed 
using 2 Cakes of The New Premier Yarn 
called Gradient Anti pilling Everyday 
Worsted Yarn.
I used The Black Tones and Pink Tones.

It is soft, luxurious and sturdy yarn.
 It has lovely drape.
It is the perfect yarn For 
My New Crochet Pattern release 
The Gradient Grace top.

I am so happy with the way the 
new pattern stitched up.
The Gradient colors are a gorgeous with 
long subtle color changes.

These Halloween Candy Coasters 
are so fun to make.
And The silly eyes make them so fun
 to decorate with them.



👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
You choose the colors of yarn you want, 
and which eyes you want to add. 
Or don't add the eyes.

I designed mine using assorted cotton yarns.
Some are Premier cotton, some are Peaches 
and Creme cotton and some are 
Hobby Lobby cotton. All are Medium (4) Weight yarn.


You can Use Acrylic yarn, it will  protect the table
 and surface. Cotton yarn will absorb the moisture
 off the the cup or glass.
