Go to my webpage to see instructions on how to actually use a soaker and why you might want to. Soakers are a vintage technology and this pattern is my best reconstruction of what I do when I am making them…but it’s hardly original….sort of like my mitten pattern.

When you arrive at my website -- www.threadsofmeaning.com -- you will need to scroll down the patterns until you find this one. It is one of the first patterns that I posted so it is close to the bottom of the page.
