I really love soap cozies and nothing beats a good soap bar with an amazing fragrance. I loved my Thistle Stitch Soap Saver pattern so I mixed it up with some puff stitches to make this new design as you can never have enough soap savers. 🙂

Difficulty:
Advaced beginner
Size:
This pattern has one size, enough to fit a standard sized soap
Materials needed:
- 4 mm (G) size Hook (Get great hooks HERE)
- approx. 17 grams (42.5 meters/ 46.5 yards) of 100% cotton DK yarn (I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton Dk in Candyfloss Pink colourway)
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
- Stitch markers
Stitches used and Abbreviations:
SK= skip
SP= space
CH = chain
ST/STS= stitch/ stitches
SLST = slip stitch
SC = single crochet
HDC = half double crochet
DC = double crochet
DC3LO= double crochet 3rd loop only
Picot ST= picot stitch
Puff Stitch = Puff ST
*-* =repeat pattern between these symbols
Additional terms/ Special Stitches:
Stitching in the 3rd loop only of HDC:
Look at the top of the stitch and locate the sideways ”V”, bend the stitch to look at the back and you should see another ”V”. You will be working into the back loop of that ”V”. This creates a nice, braided look.
Picot Stitch:
CH 3 and then SLST back into the first chain of CH 3
Puff Stitch:
Yarn over hook, insert hook in indicated stitch/space, pull up a long loop through that stitch/space (3 loops on hook) Yarn over hook again and insert hook into the same stitch/space, pull up a loop (same height as the previous one) 3 more times. You should have 9 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 9 loops on your hook, chain 1 to close the puff stitch.
Gauge:
Not needed
Additional notes:
- US terms used throughout
- If a row/round starts with a Chain 1 or 2, that is not counted as a stitch.
- After Row 2, you are going to work in rounds. You will crochet all the way across the row, and down the side, around the bottom and up the other side to turn it into a round.
- When you’re about to work in a stitch with a stitch marker in it, just simply take it out, I won’t include a separate note for that J
- Notes are written in a different color in (brackets) to help you through the pattern or state someting which can be unclear at first read)
