This is my very first design. Created when I first started crocheting, but it has taken a few years to put to paper. I like to buy soaps from my local farmers market, and when they become too small to use I simply pop them into my soap saver.

Definitely for those dirty days after a good exercise or a hard day in the garden.

After the first use, it will be dry and hard. I suggest you wet it well and use some liquid soap to get it started.

I have a lot of 100% cotton mill ends (similar to Sugar & Cream). One skein might be enough, but have an extra handy. Alternatively you can make the body one color and the ruffles another.

I am already thinking of edits to the pattern so check back soon.
