Back loofah’s are an outstanding way to upkeep hygiene, prevent acne, and scratch the itch you cannot reach. When you make your own Loofahs, you are doing three things: Saving money, creating a sustainable product, and starting a new crochet project!

Loofahs for your back in store can typically cost $8-10.00 each, while a skein of cotton scrub yarn costs around $5.00. With a little bit of time, you can save some of that money for extra yarn and keep plastic waste out of a landfill!

This pattern creates a machine washable and reusable loofah that would be great for markets or gifting.

It is easily modifiable for those who need additional length for mobility purposes as well.

For the purpose of this demonstration, demonstrative images were taken using acrylic yarn since scrub yarn is textured and it makes the visibility of stitches difficult.
