[Nfb-krafters-korner] soap bag

[Terry Knox]

This soap sack makes a great skin scrubber. When you’re done with it, hang it up by the cord to dry. All you need is 18 yards of worsted weight cotton yarn, a crochet hook, and less than 30 minutes. Slip in your favorite bar of soap and enjoy!

Finished size: 3" x 5" (It should fit a standard size bar of soap.)

Size H (5 mm) crochet hook
Large eye tapestry needle
Worsted weight cotton yarn (I used Sugar & Cream.)
16 yards for sack
2 yards for cord

You’ll be working in both sides of the starting chain to form the bottom of the soap sack.

Chain 6.

Round 1: Dc in the 3rd chain from the hook and the next 2 ch (3dc). Work 5dc in the last chain. Turn and work along the opposite side of the chain to continue the round — dc in the next 2 ch, 3dc in the last ch. Join with a slip st to the ch3. (14 dc)

Round 2: Ch3, dc in same st, dc in next 4 dc, 2 dc in each of next 3 dc, dc in next 4 dc, 2 dc in each of next 2 dc. Join with a slip stitch to the ch3. (20 dc)

Round 3: Ch4, skip 1 dc, ✱dc in next dc, ch 1, skip 1 dc,✱ repeating around. Join with a slip stitch to ch3 of the ch4. (10 dc with ch1 between them)

Round 4: Ch4, skip ch1 space, ✱dc in next dc, ch 1, skip ch1 space,✱ repeating around. Join with a slip stitch to ch3 of the ch4.

Rounds 5-8: Repeat Round 4 - 4 times.

Pull yarn through last stitch. Cut yarn. Secure end and weave in yarn tail.


Cord 
With a 2 yard piece of yarn (the same color or a contrasting color), chain 60. This should make a chain about 14-16" long. Weave the yarn tails up through the chain.

Weave this cord through the top row of eyelets.

Tie the two ends together in a secure knot about 1" from the ends. This gives you a hanger for the bag as well as keeping the yarn tails in the chain from working out.

Slip a bar of soap into the sack, and it’s ready to use!

Note: When you’re joining rounds, insert your hook through the underside of the chain for a neater join.

Lindy,

I have sent pattern with separate email, if you have any question, please let me know. Hope you understand pattern, as you crochet both sides of the chain where you start to make bottom of bag. You can also Velcro a small tab to top to close or use another cord to close. I find this very easy and quick only 30 minutes from start to finish and only 18 yards of yarn. Enjoy.
Terry
