*BONUS* Puggle’s Blanket!

Ch 32.

Row 1: 2sc in 4^th ch from hook, *sk ch, 2sc in next ch* across.

Row 2: Ch 2, sk 1^st st, 2sc in next st, *sk st, 2sc in next st* across.

Repeat these two rows 18 times, so you have a total of 36 rows.

Shell Stitch Border:

One complete shell stitch is worked over 6 sts (or 4 row ends; every two rows should have developed a slightly scalloped shape along the ends, so you can use this as a guideline). Without turning, begin working down the left hand side of the blanket:

*5dc between 2^nd and 3^rd row (or between first and second “scallop”) from the top, sc between the 4^th and 5^th row, (or before the next “scallop”)* You should end this side with a sc in the corner, and now you should be on the bottom, where the foundation chain is. There should be visible “holes” from the foundation chain. Using these as your guidelines, *sk first “hole”, 5dc in 2^nd “hole”, sc in 3^rd* all the way across.

Repeat instructions for previous “row ends” for the right hand side working up. You should end with a sc in the first st of the top side. *sk 2 sts, 5dc in next st, sk 2 sts, sc in next st* across til end. Sl st to the first sc on the first shell of the left hand side, and weave in end.

Puggle’s Collar! (I used a size H hook for this, but it’s really up to you.)

Ch 2, sc in first ch.

The single crochet formed a “V”. *insert hook under the left side of that “V” (the one closest to hook) and sc into it. * repeat this until collar fits around puggle’s neck.

Puggle’s Face

For the nose and mouth, I simply embroidered them on using the satin stitch with black embroidery thread. The eyes are simply 2 felt circles, one brown and one black (the brown is slightly larger than the black; you can use different sized buttons or other small round objects to trace). I used regular Elmer’s glue to apply the eyes, using a generous amount and leaving them unbothered until completely dry. The black felt may need to be reglued, because felt glued on felt tends to just absorb the glue; however, the gluing twice actually does make it sturdier.

I've returned!

Happy holidays my fellow yarn addicts and crochet lovers! Many of you probably don't remember me but I led a brief blog life about 3 years ago under the name of "Lisa A Crochet." I had started to sell patterns that I designed and all was dandy until life interfered. I was in a bad relationship and struggling with life decisions (haha I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up!) and I was young and stupid and ended up abandoning ship (or hook, I suppose). I owe a HUGE apology to many people who ordered my patterns and never received them. I truly am sorry for neglecting my responsibilities. As a token of my sincere apologies, I am going to post those patterns for free here. Any future patterns I design will be free in this blog as well.

So with that, I hope these following patterns inspire you!! Please send me pictures if you use one of my patterns; I love to see people's creations. =)
