In an effort to reduce the use of plastics using soap rather than body wash, which comes in plastic bottles, makes a lot of sense and saves cents too!

Soap Savers are handy little pouches to keep your soap out of the water. Make a hanging loop and hang in the shower, prolonging the life of your soaps by allowing air to circulate and dry the bar.

This pattern is rather clever, no sewing up to do. It uses a technique called double knitting. two layers of fabric are created by slipping alternate stitches.

I have added a couple of tutorial videos to expand on how the fabric is made.
