September Stitch of The Month - Filet Squares Stitch Pattern - Filet Squares Table Runner | Posh Pooch Designs

 September Stitch of The Month
Filet Squares Stitch Pattern 
Filet Squares Table Runner Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs



I have received so many messages, comments and
 emails about Filet Crochet, I thought it would be fun
 to learn a simple Filet Crochet Stitch Pattern Together.
The Filet Squares is a perfect pattern for just that.

What is "Filet Crochet"?
Filet is a  French word that means Net or Mesh.
Filet Crochet is stitching a fabric that consists of a mesh or grid-like appearance. It usually consists of Double Crochet Stitches and chain 1 spaces to form shapes and letters. It is a rather easy technique and there are many different ways to use this technique.



For September's  Crochet Stitch Pattern
we are stitching up the  Filet Squares Table Runner
 in Fall Colors. I have chosen Crafters Secret Cotton. 
It is a medium (4) 100 % Cotton yarn, and Auburn Clay
 is the colorway. You will need 2 balls which is 5 oz.
I designed the Table Runner using an I / 5.5 MM crochet hook.
 Some times it is difficult to keep your gauge or tension when
 working Filet Crochet. 
I found that this size hook helped keep me on track.

The Granny Shoulder Bag Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 The Granny Shoulder Bag
 Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of   Posh Pooch Designs



The Granny Shoulder Bag is a new crochet pattern
 release that I have been working on for sometime.
I wanted the bag to be fun, and useful.
as well as, a bag design that would use up left 
over yarns from my Yarn Stash. It is designed using an 
assortment of Medium (4) Acrylic yarns from 
all my left over projects. Different colors, shades
 and brands. It turned out exactly how I wanted it.

It is a big roomy bag and holds a lot of things, 
and it is super pretty.
It is also a really easy Crochet pattern to stitch up.
It consists of 3 Granny Squares, stitched together 
to form a bag or purse. And the rest of the fun
is in the cute details.


You will notice there are 2 crochet hooks listed
 in the materials list.
Crochet Hooks – I / 5.500 MM - For Bag
                                        K/ 6.50 MM - For Bag Strap
We will be holding 3 strands of yarn together to 
form the bag strap so we need a larger crochet hook.
