Snowman Doll Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

Skill: Easy

Crochet Hook - G

The Snowman Doll is made like the Gingerbread doll, with a few color Changes:

First of all he is made using white yarn, not the brown.

For The Snowman Doll we made the top of his head a solid Red, with blue trim to look like he is wearing a beanie.

We made his feet blue and red, and his arms solid white.

The scarf is a solid red with blue fringe.

Candy cane is made the same.

We used 5 black circles for the eyes and mouth to look like coal.

And real buttons for the front of his tummy.

We added a Carrot Nose: 

Use Orange yarn,  ww (4) and a G / 4.5MM Crochet hook

Ch 2, 2 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, ch 1 turn

*1 sc in the 2 sc, ch1 turn*

Repeat From * to * , tie off leaving a 8 inch tail of yarn.

Live Video - Does Ch 3 Count as a Stitch? | Posh Pooch Designs

Live With Sara 
of

 Posh Pooch Designs

Today's Questions: We have 2 of them

See The Live Video on my Youtube Channel at This LINK

First: Where do you get your Music 
 For your Videos?
My Hubby is a talented musician.
 He has lead choirs, Quartets, groups, and orchestras.
He can play just about any instrument there is.
 He writes, arranges and produces all of my music.
He is amazing. 
I tell him what I want, he writes a melody, 
then adds instruments, bells, noises  and more. 
And the song and style is always exactly what I wanted.

He is also my biggest fan!

Second:  "Does Ch 3 Count as a Stitch?" What does that mean?

Well, It does sometimes and sometimes it does not.

It Just depends on the Crochet Pattern and what the 
designer wants.

1. Usually chain 3 at the ends of Straight rows will count as the first double Crochet of the next Row. 

2. When Stitching in a Circle, the ch 3 usually counts as a the 1st Dc of the next Row.

3. When stitching a Granny Square, The Ch 3 can count as the 1st Dc, as well.

But, Sometimes it will not, 

if the pattern designer is wanting

 a certain effect.

How I Made Pine Cone Trees | Posh Pooch Designs

How I Made Pine Cone Trees

It was easy and fun, and you can

 make some too.

The First Thing I did was go out in my Yard and collect a bunch of Pine Cones.

You can also purchase bags of them at your local craft store.

What You need:

Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

(I used a lot of Glue sticks)

Styrofoam Cones - I made 2 sizes

I purchased these from Hobby Lobby

Glitter Spray - I used silver

I purchased mine From Walmart

Pine Cones - 

I used about 30 on the 2 cones combined.

Embellishments -

I used Cardinal ornaments and berry springs

From Hobby Lobby

My husband gave me 2 pieces of wood, 

left over from putting in the wood floor.

 You do not have to use these, but it did make the cones sturdy while attached the pine cones.

I used Hot glue to attach the cones to the wood.

I put hot glue on the bottom of the pine cone, and began to glue them on the cones. Working from the bottom to the top.
When placing the pine Cones on the cone hold it for a few seconds so glue can set.

I used a lot of Hot Glue.

If you are making these with kids, 
please supervise the hot glue. 

I used small pine cones and pine cone pieces to fill in spots between the other pine cones. Next, I glued on my Cardinals.

I took 2 Springs of berries, broke them a part and 

Glued them on. You need a lot of Glue sticks!

I let Them set for about 30 minutes to make sure all the glue was dry. I also tried to cut off all the Hot glue strings I could see.

Then I took them out side and sprayed them with the Glitter Spray. I Let That dry for about 15 minutes.

I sprayed again, with the glitter spray.

Once that was dry, I set them on my entryway table.

And I Love them.

You can not see the glitter in this picture,

 but they are all glittery and pretty.

And I Love That I used Pine Cones from my own yard.

 These are so easy, you will want to make some
 and put your own creative touch on them.
