Friday Fun - Flower Pot Cozy Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Friday Fun With Sara 
Flower Pot Cozy Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs



I needed to stitch up some new Flower pot cozies, 
as mine are quite worn out.
I decided it was time to retest and update my
 Crochet Pattern and film a new Video Tutorial.



I Chose Some really bright cotton yarn.
Crafter's Secret Cotton From Hobby Lobby.
 The colorway is called Sprinkles.
I really love it.

I wanted some solid colors as well.
I really prefer a stiffer cotton for the pot cozies, 
or covers, so they will hold up well.
some other great yarns for this is the 
Peaches and Cream,
 and Sugar and Cream cotton yarns. 
Any Medium (4) Cotton will work just fine.


Grow Some Greens Easily
If you want to grow some greens, but do not 
have a yard, you can grow them in a pot. 
All You need is a container or 2, 
Some soil and And Some Seeds. 
And Some Water.

What Container?
 A used Coffee container, ice cream tub,
 Cool whip bowl or similar container. 
Wash and rinse the container and the lid. 
Poke a few hole in the bottom and fill with soil.


Plant An Assortment Of Seeds.
Lettuce, Kale, Arugula, and Spinach.
I grab a few seeds from each package and place
 them in the soil.
Use the lid under the container.

No Garden Need.
Set in sunny spot in the window, or on a patio.
You do not need a garden to grow wonderful greens.
Trim them when they are young and you will have
 lots of greens.

Healing Butterfly Beanie Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

 Healing Butterfly Beanie
 Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I have received a lot of requests for the Healing Butterfly
 Beanie to be made in cotton yarn, in 
place of the acrylic yarn it was originally designed from.
I felt it was time to retest and up date the pattern and I love
 how it stitched up in the cotton yarn.


I used Sugar Ad cream cotton yarn, in the potpourri
 Ombre colorway. It's 100 % cotton yarn that is a off 
white with flecks of teal, lavender and pink running
 through out the yarn. It's lovely colorway and
 perfect for this design. 

The Video Demo is stitched up with Redheart 
Stipes / Cool Stripe yarn. Another really pretty colorway. 


The Hat design is mostly Half Double Crochet Stitches
 and works up quite quickly. I removed all the color
 changes and stayed with one colorway. 
Although you can stripe this hat if you like.
