Soap Sock Sally Ives/April 2006

Snugly fits a regular sized bar of soap, or use to hold the tiny soap bits that are always left
over! One side has a small mesh design, other side has ruffled ridges.
Materials:
worsted weight cotton, I used Bernat Handicrafter, about 1.5 oz
crochet hook size 4.25mm (G)
Note: Rounds are joined. Begin rounds with ch1, does NOT count as first st. Sc in same st
to begin.
To begin:
Ch9. 2sc in 2nd ch from hook. Sc in next 6 chs, 3sc in last ch. Sc in opposite side of
starting ch in 6 sts, sc in same st as beginning 2sc. (18)

Join yarn in first unworked st of rnd 4 with sc. You will be working in the unworked
loops of rnds 4-14. (Ch1, sc in next loop) across first row. *Ch2, turn piece, sc in first
unworked loop of next row. (Ch1, sc in next loop) across row. Repeat from * until you
have worked in all the free loops. FO, weave in ends.
Drawstring: Ch60, FO. Weave in and out of spaces of rnd 17, tie ends together and fasten
in ends securely.
For a nice little gift, insert a decorative soap bar, or (as in pic) tuck in a ‘trial size'
bottle of shower gel and body lotion.
