Garden Soap
by Priscilla Hewitt ©2000
Hang this on your outdoor spigot for quick clean-up after gardening. The
nylon yarn really “scrubs” and holds up well in the weather!
Materials:
Needleloft 100% nylon (plastic canvas) yarn
Crochet hook size G
Bar of Lava soap
Ch 12
Round 1: Sc in the 2nd ch from hook, (ch 3, skip next ch, sc in the next ch)
5 times, ch 3, sc in the same st, (ch 3, skip next ch, sc in the next ch) 5
times, ch 1; join with as hdc in the first sc to form last loop. (12 ch-3 loops)
Round 2: (Ch 3, sc in the next ch-3 loop) 11 times, ch 1; join with as hdc in
the first sc to form last loop. (12 ch-3 loops)
Rounds 3-15: Repeat round 2. Fasten off.
Drawstring
Ch 150. Fasten off.
Finishing
Weave drawstring through loops of round 13; tie ends of drawstring
together securely. (To prevent fraying ends, pass the ends quickly through
a candle flame to melt. DO NOT let the yarn catch on fire!) Pull up two
drawstring “handles” (see illustration below.) Insert soap, pull the drawstring
closed and tie in an overhand knot to secure. Hang handles over outdoor
spigot.
