7/13/08: I edited the pattern to reflect a key part I failed to add originally. The bottom of the sack is seamed together when you are done knitting to close up the hole at the cast on edge. My apologies for any confusion.

If you know how to do a figure 8 cast on like you would use for toe up socks, you can also use that for this pattern as well and then simply follow the increases from the pattern to continue knitting it. I didn’t write the original pattern this way simply because I wanted this to be a beginner pattern that any one could knit.

Happy Knitting

This soap sack can be used with most soap but was designed to work with square or odd shaped soaps. I use mine with soaps from Pegasus Soaps (pegasussoaps.etsy.com). My personal favorite is the oatmeal soap; it fits in this sack perfectly.
