Crafting 101

Today’s project is quick and easy! Can be done in less than an hour, maybe faster.  These make great gifts too for anyone! Be sure to use cotton yarn since this will be in the water everyday and you’ll want to be able to wash it without it shrinking! You’ll also be able to get many of these out of one skein so make away! Enjoy!

Soap Holder
by Pamela Foreman

1 Skein of cotton yarn (or you can use scraps of yarn)
H hook
needle
scissors

Abbreviations:
ch - chain
hdc - half double crochet
dc - double crochet
sp - space
nx - next

Directions:

Ch 3, join to make a ring

Round 1: Ch 1, 5 sc in ring, join (6sc)

Round 2: Ch 2, (hdc in nx 2 sc, 2 hdc in nx sc) twice, join (9 hdc)

Round 3: Ch 3, dc in same sp, 2 dc in each hdc around, join  (18 dc)

Round 4: Ch 3, dc in each dc around (18 dc)

Round 5 - 9: repeat Round 4

Round 10: Ch 4, sk dc, dc in nx dc, (ch 1, sk dc, dc in nx dc) repeat around, end with ch 1, join

Round 11: Ch 3, (dc in ch 1 sp, dc in nx dc) around, join

Round 12: Ch 1, sc in each dc, join, fasten off and weave in ends

Turn your project inside out. To make the tie, chain 50 and pull the last chain to cut it off. Make two knots at the end of each end and cut off the leftover ends. Weave the tie through the spaces made in Round 10, pull tight, tie in a pretty bow! You can either put a bar of soap in it when giving it as a gift or put the soap holder in a cute bag with a new bar of soap.
