Round Ombre Pillow Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Round Ombre Pillow 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs 




I designed this simple Round Ombre Pillow 
to match the Ombre Chevron Spring Throw Blanket.
The Pillow is a 14 inch pillow, so it's the perfect size
 to decorate the bed in my guest room.
I really love how they look together and also match
 the guest room bed set.


I used The Same colors as the throw blanket.
C1 – Premier Just Yarn Ombre/ Seaglass 
    C2 – Premier Just Yarn Ombre/Violet 
      C3 - Premier Just Yarn Ombre/Salmon 

I really love how the 
Premier Just Yarn Ombre stitched up on the Round Ombre Pillow And Chevron Throw.

see all the lovely colors.



 A 14 inch round pillow form can be purchased from
 a local craft or fabric store, or you can stuff your pillow
 with Polyfiberfil. I decided to make my own pillow form.
I cut out a 15 inch circle from a piece of cotton fabric. 
I sewed around it and turned it right side out.  
Stuffed it with Polyfiberfil and sewed the opening closed.
It was very simple. You can sew it by hand or use a sewing machine. 

The Premier Ombre is perfect for this set and I am so
 happy with the way it looks. The yarn is so soft and pillow
 so squishy. I think I found my new favorite reading
 spot. I really love it.

FRIDAY FUN DAY! Granny Square Scrubby Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 FRIDAY FUN DAY! 
Granny Square Scrubby
 Crochet Pattern  
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


I had this idea in my head, but wasn't sure I would
 like it with this particular yarn. Well, I do like them, 
I actually love how they stitched up!


The Granny Square Scrubby is the perfect scrubby
 for cleaning the bathroom and the kitchen, 
or any place that needs cleaning. It is great to have
 on hand when a little extra scrubbing is needed.
It measures 6 X 6 inches so you could even put it
 in your tool box, camper or car glove compartment.

I designed the scrubby using the Yarn Bee Scrub -ology 
Yarn from Hobby Lobby. It is a bulky (6) yarn, that's
thick and sturdy, but not too rough on your hands. 
They are just a great Little scrubbies to have around.


I also made one out of a chunky (5) cotton I had on had.
 It is a nice scrubby and does a great job, as well.
The chunky cotton is perfect for cleaning when not a
 lot of scrubbing is needed.

 that is inspired by the Birthstone of each month.

and a Brand New Video Tutorial.

 them into a blanket,
 but you can make whatever you would like.
