A crochet bar of soap holder is a small mesh drawstring pouch that holds a bar of soap while letting suds lather directly through the open stitches, acting as a gentle scrubber too. One by the kitchen sink is handy for exactly this reason. This guide gives the pattern.
Materials and Pattern
- About 20 yards cotton yarn
- A 4.0mm hook
- Chain 2, work 6 sc into the second chain from the hook, closing the ring.
- Round 2: 2 sc in each st (12).
- Work an open mesh stitch pattern, alternating dc and chain-1 spaces, for 4 rounds to form the body.
- Chain 12 to 15 for a drawstring, threading it through the top mesh row to cinch closed.
