Since we are Doing a

"Scrap Happy Year Long Crochet A Long 2022"

And I have had lots of questions about yarn and

yarn weight substitutions,

I decided to talk about it on today's Live Video Podcast.

Maybe I can answer some of those questions.

Scrap Happy Foot Pocket Blanket Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Scrap Happy Foot Pocket Blanket

Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The Scrap Happy Foot Pocket Blanket

is the third Crochet Pattern in Our

Scrap Happy Year Long Crochet A Long 2022

The Scrap Happy Foot Pocket Blanket is a wonderful

way to use up those Super Bulky (6) Yarns and make

something we can all use. I am already using mine

and loving it. I have several 1 skein colors and Variegated

colorways and I put them all together to make this

fun Blanket.

It is basically a big thick soft and comfy blanket with a

pocket to slip your feet in on cold days. It can easily be

adjusted to and width or length, so any one can have

warm feet while sitting cozy under this blanket.

This Crochet Pattern uses Blanket Yarn and is a bulky (6),

like the Bernat Blanket Yarns. There are many brands,

and I have combined several of them.

If you do not have any of the blanket style yarns, any

Super Bulky (6) yarn will work for this project.

It's a quick and super easy project to stitch up.

Easter Sunday Basket Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Easter Sunday Basket
Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs
🐇🐣🐇🐣🐇🐣🐇🐣🐇🐣🐇🐣🐇🐣🐇🐣🐇

The Easter Sunday Basket is a Seven inch basket that

is about four inches tall. The baskets are stitched using two

strands of medium (4) weight yarn, which makes them nice

and sturdy. It is the perfect size for lots of

Goodies from The Easter Bunny.

It also makes a nice basket for putting bread

or rolls for a Easter Sunday Meal. Add Flowers or decorations

and it is great for using as the the center piece for the dinner

table and coffee table.

I kept the baskets simple, just adding a cute spring button,

but you can add bows, ribbons and lots of

Easter decorations of your choosing.
