So this was an old pattern my grandma used to make. She’d make these and sell them at craft sales, they did pretty well actually.
They were originally made out of thread and were meant to hold the little slivers of soap bars that got too small to hold, but if you make them out of a thicker yarn (or wool) and hook, you could fit the entire bar in them. Plus if you use wool, it’ll shrink around the soap.

This pattern is also available for free on my tumblr(linked to in bio), you can search it by name if you can’t find it by scrolling, but if you’d like to support me I would greatly appreciate it.

Enjoy!
