Vintage Christmas Dress Hot Pad Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Vintage Christmas Dress 

Hot Pad/ Pot Holder

Free Crochet Pattern

Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

The Vintage Christmas Dress Hot Pad with

 a Modern twist.

 I designed this Pattern several years ago, and decided it
 needed an update and  a Little Sparkle.

If you are going to use it as an actual Hot Pad. 

you will want to make it using cotton yarns.

If you are making it for decorative purposes, 

like I am, than Acrylic is fine.

Although this Pattern is considered a "Christmas"Design,
 you can stitch it up any others of your choosing.

Today's Question, 

"How do I save my "frogged yarn" 

so I can reuse it.

"Frogged" means when you rip out a crochet project.

 Maybe you missed a stitch or got off count,

And you had to rip it out.

The yarn ends up all bumpy, and you want o get those bumps out.

What I do is Spray the yarn with just water.

Dampen it, do not soak it.

Then I roll it into a ball or cake, loosely but firmly.

I then place it in a bowl and set in on my dryer, 

or a warm place so it can dry.

Remember when Working with Wool or Wool Blends,
 if you get it too wet and agitate it too much it will felt.

After 24 hours or longer, sometimes it several days

 before I get to it, I unroll it to make sure it is dry in the center,

 and than re-roll it.

When drying, I do not recommend setting the the sun,
 as it can bleach out the colors.

Freezer Popsicle Cozies Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Freezer Popsicle Cozies
 Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The Grand kids are here to Visit for a few weeks,

 so I thought I better get some of these Freeze Pop Cozies made. 
And then I thought, I should share

how I make mine with you all.

It's a great project to use up a bunch of left over Cotton Yarn.
And they are so easy to stitch up.
Keep a few near the freezer, in a basket or bowl. 
Grab one and slide it on your Popsicle.
 When you are finished, either toss it back in the basket,
 or in the wash with the towels.
