Soap Saver

Last weekend The Soap Engineers debuted at a Vendor Fair in Virginia. I had the opportunity to test out many of their goodies! My favorite was their Honey Almond, which they sold out of! No surprise. I did get to take several other great things home, including Tropical Retreat. You can be certain I put an order in for the Honey Almond!
The soaps are so heavenly, I didn't want to waste an ounce by leaving them on the bathtub or in a soap dish. I have seen several crocheted soap holders so I decided to whip one up for my new soaps!  They are a bit bulkier than a standard bar of soap so this pattern accommodates the size.



Materials:
2oz  cotton yarn  (Picture used Sugar'n Cream Ecru)
K hook  6.5 mm
Tapestry needle

Ch 12
hdc in second chain from the hook. Repeat across.
Continue on the opposite side of the chain until you reach your first hdc. 
Join and chain 2.
Continue around working hdc into each stitch until you have completed 16 rounds.
Work in the rounds and do not join until the last row.
On the 16th round join and ch 2.
Hdc in the next stitch and chain one. Skip the next stitch. Continue around. Join and tie off. Weave in ends. 
Chain 60 to use as your tie. Weave it in and out of your last row and tie at the ends.

Add your favorite soap and enjoy! Use the drawstring to hang over the shower head when you are finished so the soap and soap saver can dry.

Just For You!
