Gorgeous Granny Bag Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Gorgeous Granny Bag 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I Just love This Gorgeous Granny Bag.

I Love that it's made using Granny Squares and 

I love Granny Squares. I also love the construction of it, 

as well as, how big it is. 

It measure 24 X 24 inches, and  6 inches deep.

It's the perfect size to use as a shopping or market bag, 

but not too big to use as a purse or tote. 

The pretty flap keeps everything neatly in side the bag.

You just need nine six inch granny squares

 to make this bag. I used the Red Heart Granny Square

 All In One Yarn, In the Soft White / Pink Punch color way.

You can use any six inch granny squares you want to

 make the bag.

I made the standard or vintage style granny squares, 

but you can use any style granny squares you like, 

as long as they are 6 inch squares.

 

The Gorgeous Granny Bag can be lined.

 A really simple way to line a bag can be found

 at This LINK

Whether you line the bag or not, it's great bag 

for lots of uses. Use it for shopping, A tote bag, 

as a project bag, vacation bag  or an everyday bag,

You will love using this bag.

FRIDAY FUN DAY! Mary's Mesh Shawlette Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 FRIDAY FUN DAY!

Mary's Mesh Shawlette

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach At Posh Pooch Designs

It's FRIDAY FUN DAY!

I have designed a Quick Easy and elegant 

crochet pattern for this week's Friday Fun Day!

I designed this shawlette a few years ago, Feb. 2016.

 It was called the Lady Mary's Triangle Shawl. The Yarn 

used is no longer available and so I decided it was

 time for an update.

We retested the pattern, added new pictures

 and a brand new video tutorial. And Of course it 

needed a new name. So we changed the name

 to Mary's Mesh Shawlette.

I had this beautiful yarn called Twirls At Twilight

 from Hobby Lobby By Yarn bee, one of the 

Sparkle Sugar Wheel Yarn Cakes.

It's a light(3) Cotton yarn with metallic sparkle thread 

running through it. It's a perfect Spring and Summer

 shawlette, and a wonderful addition to just about

 any outfit. Whether casual and elegant you 

will be noticed with this fancy shawl.
