Spring Forward Bucket Hat Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Spring Forward Bucket Hat 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs



I designed this Bucket Hat Is the Perfect hat for Spring.
 This Crochet pattern for both
 the guys and the girls. It's a simple and airy style 
bucket hat with just enough of a brim to keep out 
the sun, but light enough to keep us from sweating.

I designed it using The Yarn called Sundance Scramble
 by Herrschners Yarn in the Little Baby colorway.
 I love all the spring colors paired with with white. 
It's a medium (4) weight acrylic yarn. Although if you
 prefer a cotton hat, use a medium (4) cotton yarn
 and it will work up just fine.


The hat is a roomy fit for a 22- 24 inch head. 
So measure as you work. Remember if it's stitching
 up too loose, go down a hook size or 2, and if it's 
stitching up too small, go up a hook size or 2.  
Remember it is intended to have roomy fit.

Scrap Happy Floppy Ear Bunny Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Scrap Happy Floppy Ear Bunny 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs


🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇
It's Scrap Happy Monday!

 That means another Scrap Happy Crochet Pattern
which is The Scrap Happy Spring Bunny. It is a simple,
 fun, soft and squishy bunny stuffie.

The Bunny can be stitched up using Bulky (5) or 
Super Bulky (6) Acrylic yarns from your yarn stash.
 I choose all Spring colors, since I think of Bunnies 
as a Spring animal. 
It doesn't take much yarn, only about 6 to 7 oz. of yarn.
So you can make a bunch of them in different color
 combinations.


It's a super easy crochet pattern and works up 
pretty quickly. And Those floppy ears and little flowers
 are what makes this bunny so cute. Add them to Easter
 baskets, make them for Spring decorations, or just for fun.
 You will love making them as much as giving them.
