How to Make a Two-Sided Soap Saver

The soap saver is a useful accessory that allows you to use up your soap effectively. It has two sides, one with ribbing to create lather and another with a moss stitch for a different texture. This tutorial will guide you step by step on how to make this two-sided soap saver. So let's get started!

Materials Needed

To make the soap saver, you will need the following materials:

1. Worsted weight cotton yarn
2. Size H (5mm) crochet hook
3. Scissors
4. Yarn needle

Now that you have gathered all the necessary materials, let's dive into the steps to create your own soap saver.

Steps to Make the Soap Saver

3.1. Row 1: Chaining and Single Crochets

To begin, make a slip knot and insert your crochet hook. Start by chaining 15 stitches. Once you have completed the chain, single crochet into the second chain from the hook. Work a total of 14 single crochets down one side of the chain. Then, turn your work and single crochet along the other side to have a total of 28 single crochets.

3.2. Row 2: Ribbing and Single Crochets in the Back Loop Only

Chain one and turn your work. Single crochet into the first stitch, chain one, and skip a stitch. Continue with this pattern of chaining one, skipping one stitch, and single crocheting into the following stitch until you reach the end of the row. Then, single crochet into the back loop only of the stitches on the other side of the soap saver.

3.3. Row 3: Moss Stitch and Single Crochets in the Back Loop Only

Chain one and turn your work. Single crochet in the back loop only for the first 14 stitches. After that, start working the moss stitch by single crocheting into the chain one space, chaining one, and single crocheting into the next chain one space. Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the row. Finish the row by slip stitching to the first single crochet.

3.4. Repeat Rows 2 and 3

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until you have a total of 16 rows. Ensure that you end with a row that finishes off with single crochets in the back loop only.

3.5. Finishing Touches: Making the Hanging Loops

To create the hanging loops, chain one and turn your work. Single crochet into the first seven stitches. Then, chain four and skip four stitches. Single crochet into the next 12 stitches. Chain ten and continue single crocheting until the end of the row. Slip stitch to the first single crochet. Repeat this process for the next row. Finally, weave in the ends to complete your soap saver.
