Pocket Pillow Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Pocket Pillow Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach Of  Posh Pooch Designs

It's A Pillow With A Pocket!


I received a request a few months back for a Pocket Pillow.
A Friend asked if I could design one for her mother.
She loves to crochet, read and work crossword puzzles,
 but her arms get tired from holding them up. I was so happy
 to design the pocket pillow and her mother loves it. 
Now She can rest her arms on the pillow and enjoy her activities.
 And then store them in the pocket, and keep them from
 getting lost.



I designed The Pocket Pillow with chunky soft yarns.
 It will stitch up quickly and also is comfortable on the arms.
As well as, being a simple pattern and totally washable.

The Completed Pillow measures about 11 X 11 inches.
 It's the perfect size for storing a book, eye glasses, 
pens and more. And it's a pretty pillow and will look
 lovely when not in use.

Any One, From young to mature, would love a Pocket pillow.
 Especially if they love to read.

 On The Go Make Up Bag 
Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

This Make Up Bag is the perfect size to take
 along with you. Slide it in Your purse or
 travel bag and you can be ready to go anytime.


This Cosmetic bag will fit just enough make up
 to touch up your eyes or lips in a pinch. 
You can also use it to carry your
 crochet hooks and stow it in your project bag.
And it fit's my phone, too!

So, It's A Make Up Bag, 
A Crochet Hook Bag
 And a Phone Bag! 



I designed this bag using Premier Home Cotton Yarn, 
And it's completely  washable if it gets a little messy.
 You will need 2 colors, a main color and a trim color, 
But the colors you choose is completely up to you.
I stitched up this bag with an H/ 5.00 mm Crochet 
Hook so the stitches are snug. You don't want to 
loose anything out your bag.


The On The Go Make Up Bag is so easy to crochet 
that you will want to stitch up a bunch of them.
