loopy washcloth	washcloth & face scrubber	soap ona rope & soap saver

Materials:
1/2 skein sugar and cream ww cotton yarn
Size F crochet hook

Gauge: 4 sc = 1"; 2 dc rows = 1"

Designer's Note: This will be a tight fit but since the soap will get smaller as it is used, I didn't want to make it to fit loosely. This fits a 4.5 oz. Ivory bath bar.

Directions:
Chain 9. 2 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Sc across to last ch. 3 sc in last ch. Working on opposite side of foundation, sc in each ch. Join to first sc. (18 sc)
Rnd. 1: Ch 4(counts as 1st dc and ch 1). *Skip next sc. Dc, ch 1 in next sc. Repeat from * 3 times. (Dc, ch 1 in next st)twice. *Skip next sc. Dc, ch 1 in next sc. Repeat from * around to end. Join in 3rd ch of beginning dc. (11 dc plus 11 ch 1 spaces)
Rnd 2: Ch 4, Dc, ch 1 in next Dc. Repeat around and join.
Rnd 3-7: Repeat Rnd 2.
Rnd 8: Sc in each Dc and ch around and join.
Rnd 9: Ch 3, Dc in each sc around; join.

Edging: sc in first dc. *ch 3, sc in next dc. Repeat from * around. join and fasten off. (You can also do a shell stitch edging or for a man, I often either just sc or reverse sc.).

Drawstring: Ch 85; fasten off. Weave ends back through 4 or 5 chs. Tie each end in a knot. Cut off end of yarn that you weaved through the ch. Weave ch through dc on Rnd 9. Place soap in bag. Tie chain and pull up tight(do not make a knot. You want to be able to loosen the chain to replace the soap). Tie the very ends in a knot to make hanging loop.

LOOP-DE-LOOP BATH CLOTH (LOOPDE) CROCHETPARTNERS.COM

For the Model , I used Reynolds "Saucy" worsted weight and Lily's Kable Kotton. I use it as a washcloth for the bath.

*This loopy washcloth is dedicated to Sharon B. <G>

PATTERN NOTES:
Substitute a Ch 2 for first hdc in a round.
On Rnds Between Loop Stitches: Push loops up so that you can crochet behind them.
Change colors on odd numbered rounds with the loops. Use as many colors as you want.

MATERIALS:
If you use a worsted weight cotton yarn, use a "H" hook.
If you use 8/4 Cotton Rug Warp (or double strand of Cotton #10) use a "D" hook
Use as many colors as you want and make any size that you want.

DIRECTIONS:
Rnd 1: Ch 4. Join with sl st to beg to make ring.
Rnd 2: Ch 4. *Work dc + ch 1 in ring. Repeat from *11 times. Sl st to beg. (Twelve ch-1 spaces made)
Rnd 3: Sl st to first ch-1 space. *Ch 7, sc in next ch-1 space. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st. (Twelve loops)
Rnd 4: Push up loops so that you can crochet behind them right into the dc from round 2. Sl st to ch-1 space. * 2 hdc in ch-1 space. Repeat from * around. Sl st to beginning (24 sts)
Rnd 5: *Ch 7. Sc in next hdc. Repeat from * around. Do not join. (24 loops)
Rnd 6: Crochet behind loops like you did for rnd 4. Sl st to first hdc. Work 2 hdc in same st. * Hdc in next st. Work 2 hdc in next st. (increase made) Repeat from * around. sl st to beg. (36 sts. = increase of 12 stitches)
For Next Odd Number Rnd: *Ch 7 sc in next hdc. Repeat from * around. Do not join. (Same number of sts as in last even numbered rnd)
For Next Even Rounds: Crochet behind loops like you did for rnd 4. Sl st to first hdc. Work 2 hdc in same st. *Work hdc in next 2 sts .Work 2 hdc in next st. (increase made) Repeat from * around. Sl st to join. (48 sts)

Keep alternating between odd and even number rounds until you've made your cloth the desired size. On even numbered rounds your increases will occur thus: *Work hdc in next 3/4/5/6 sts. Work 2 hdcs so on)
Finish off. Weave in loose ends.

Back Scrubber

Materials:

Worsted weight cotton yarn

Crochet hook size H

(This makes a back scrubber approximately 9 1/2” long. To adjust the

length add or subtract the number of rings used.)

Make 7 of these rings:

Ch 30. Being careful not to twist chain, join with a sl st to first ch to form

ring.

Round 1: Ch 1, sc in same ch as joining and in each ch around; join with a

sl st to the first sc

Rounds 2-4: Ch 1, sc in same st as joining and in each st around; join with

a sl st to the first sc

Round 5: (joining round) Fold piece into a “tube bracelet” shape, matching

stitches of round 4 with the base of the foundation chain. Join the back loop

of the stitches of round 4 to the base stitches of the foundation chain with sl

sts (you should have 30 sl sts.) Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Handles

Make 2 of these:

Ch 60. Being careful not to twist chain, join with a sl st to first ch.

Round 1: Sl st in each ch around. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Assembly

Step 1: Fold 2 of the small rings in half and lay one across the other in the

center to form an “X” shape. Pull the ends of the bottom ring up and around

the other ring. Fold one of the handles in half. Insert one end of this handle

through both loops of this ring. Draw up a loop in the handle. Draw the

other end of the handle through this loop; pull to close tightly.

Step 2: Fold another small ring in half and insert through both loops of the

original ring (the one without the handle inserted.) Pull through until the

loops formed by this new ring are even.

Step 3: Fold another small ring in half and insert through both loops of the

last small ring. Pull through until the loops formed by this new ring are

even.

Step 4: Repeat step 3 until all the small rings are used.

Step 5: Fold the other handle in half. Insert one end of this handle through

both loops of the last ring. Draw up a loop in the handle. Draw the other

end of the handle through this loop; pull to close tightly.

nylon tulle puff (nylontulle) pricillas

Nylon Tulle Bath Puff

by Priscilla Hewitt ©2000

Faster drying than cotton, these bath puffs are a little rougher...good for

sloughing winter skin!

Materials:

2 yards nylon tulle cut into 3/4” strips (see note)

Crochet hook size K

Note: I used the tulle that comes on a cardboard tube. It’s 6” wide x 25 yards long, so there's only 4 strips that need to be tied together. (It’s usually found in the bridal department of craft stores.) I marked eight 3/4” strips (7 cut lines) and cut them with a utility knife while the tulle was still on the tube. One of these rolls of tulle is enough to complete 2 bath puffs. You can also use tulle bought by the yard, then folded evenly and cut into strips. Tie the strips together with a knot...the slit-joining method used for fabric doesn’t work for tulle because it tears easily.

Tie the tulle strips together and roll into a ball (or work off the tube.)

Ch 4, join with a sl st to form ring.

Round 1: (Sc, ch 3) 35 times in the ring; ch 35, sc in ring; join with a sl st

to the first sc.

Round 2: Sl st into the first ch 3 sp, ch 4 to count as the first dc and the first ch 1,

(dc, ch 1) 4 more times in the same ch 3 sp, (dc, ch 1) 5 times in each remaining

ch 3 sp around; sl st in each of the 35 ch's; join with a sl st to the 3rd ch of the beginning ch 3.

Round 3: Sl st into the first ch 1 sp, ch 1, sc in the same sp, (ch 3, sc in

the next ch 1 sp) around, ending with ch 3, join with a sl st in the first sc.

Round 4: Sl st into the first ch 3 sp, ch 1, sc in the same sp, ch 3, sc in the

same sp, (sc, ch 3, sc) in each ch 3 sp around; join with a sl st to the first

sc. Fasten off. Re-knot ends, and trim tulle about 1/4” from each knot.
