Last night I wrote my first ever knitting pattern. Here is my free soap sack pattern.

30 Minute Soap Sack


Materials: US 8 Needle 32” Circular Needle for Magic Loop
Small Amount Of Worsted Weight Cotton
Bar Of Soap
Tapestry Needle
Scissors
Crochet Hook Size H (Optional)

K=Knit
CO=Cast On
BO=Bind Off
Sts=Stitches
Rnd=Round
TBL=Through Back Loop

Using Judy’s Magic Cast On
CO 16 sts (8 sts per needle)

Rnd 1: Knit all stitches remember to knit the stitches on the back needle tbl to untwist the stitches.

Rnd 2: K1, M1, K to last st, M1, K1 do the same thing on the other needle. You now have 20 sts (10 sts per needle)

Rnd 3: Knit all sts

Rep Rnd. 3 until soap sack reaches the top of the soap. You will need to put the soap in the sack for an accurate fit. Once the soap sack reaches the top of the soap continue on to the next Rnd. which is Rnd. 4 of the pattern.

Great Use For Your Knitted or Crocheted Scarves




Yesterday I was having a cardiac catheterization test and was told to leave my arm at heart level for 24 hrs. A pillow just got in the way. So I thought about the slings people with broken arms use I didn’t have a sling so I told my husband to use my crocheted scarf.
