This soap cozy (or cute little gift bag) has been a WIP of mine since June of last year (2016). The only thing waiting to be done was to sew in the ends - ugh! Can’t believe I let it sit for so long, but thanks to 2017 GrannySpiration Challenge, I have dug it out and completed it - one of the things I wanted out of this challenge, which is awesome!

This adorable little bag can be used as a soap cozy (gift with homemade soap or facial scrubbies!), a favor/candy pouch, or a small gift bag (gift with a new pair of earrings or gift bag!).

Materials:

  • 50 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn - I used Lily Sugar n Cream in Hot Green and Mod Blue
  • H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle
  • Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives to Lily Sugar n Cream: Bernat’s Handicrafter, Red Heart’s Smoothie, Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, Rico Creative Cotton Aran

Other Recommended Yarns (with I9/5.5mm Hook): Red Heart’s Super Saver, Caron’s One Pound, Bernat’s Super Value

Weaving in ends of a tough yarn, like cotton yarn, can be hard on the fingers. Sore thumbs and frustration can be a thing of the past by simply using jewelry pliers to carefully help pull the tapestry needle through the work.

Time Spent:
About 45 Minutes.

Measurements:
4.5” Wide by 5.75” Tall

Gauge:
16 HDC by 10 Rows = 4”

Abbreviations:

  • SC - Single Crochet
  • HDC - Half Double Crochet
  • DC - Double Crochet
