Textured Crochet Soap Saver
"Looking for a quick and easy gift idea for someone on your list? Give the Textured Crochet Soap Saver a try! It’s best to make these little bath projects with cotton yarn. The yarn I chose was Yarn Bee Sugarwheel Cotton in Nutmeg Nibbles (perfect color name for the holidays, don’t you think?). This is a DK weight yarn that comes in a multicolor cake. You can substitute any cotton yarn that gets gauge. For this use, you really should stick with a cotton yarn as it will be in a bathtub and the cotton holds up well while not usually growing any mold or mildew. Yarn: Yarn Bee Sugarwheel Cotton in Paris Mornings, or other dk weight cotton yarn Crochet Hook: US Size G (4.00mm) Notions: Yarn needle/tapestry needle, scissors, locking stitch marker"
