This is a quick handmade gift that is sure to be much appreciated. It’s seamless all the way around, uses a very small amount of yarn and in about an hour you can have a very cute little stocking stuffer. You can use any non-superwash wool. Here I’ve used Cascade 200 Heathers. As you use the soap and it shrinks, the wool will felt and shrink around it. You will also get a nice exfoliating effect. Since I don’t care for purling, seaming, magic loop or double-pointed needles, I found a way to avoid all of those while incorporating kitchener stitch, which I love. Best of all, the recipient will wonder how the heck you got that soap in there. Magic!
