This pattern is part of the Pampering Cotton Spa Gift Set, which also includes the Pampering Cotton Loofah and Pampering Cotton Facial Kit.

Turn any bath or shower into a quick spa vacation with the Pampering Cotton Soap Bag and your favorite bar of soap, then hang to dry, so no soap goes to waste. A great gift for anyone, but particularly useful for elderly people, those who lack grip and motor control, camping enthusiasts, college students, wriggly children, or… anyone who gets dirty! A great alternative to the typical loofah.

This is a written crochet pattern with a full page of photos at the end for reference.

Due to the nature of patterns, no returns can be made; however I am happy to provide pattern support on ravelry or facebook, so please ask if you’re stuck!
