The colors remind me of Neapolitan ice cream.
This little puff/bag is my crochet solution to all those little slivers of soap that were gunking up our shower.
I wanted something that would hold the soap, yet be open enough for the water to get in and LATHER the soap. Pretty crucial, don’t you think? 
The inside reveals the bag base -- just simple stitches.
So, I started making a simple little bag with an equally simple single crochet, chain one stitch pattern. Made a row with larger holes (chain two instead of one) on the top for a draw string to pass through.
A close up of the stitches under the loops.
Here’s a little trick when you want to surface crochet onto a piece. Stitch into into the back loop only on your first layer. That leaves the front loop free to stitch into when you work on that second layer of surface crochet.
Reattaching the yarn at the bottom of the bag, I made a series of chain loops that spiraled all the way up.
Easy.
Loops are 15 chains long.
This bag was made using 100% cotton Sugar’n Cream. The Neapolitan colors are scrumptious looking, aren’t they? Love the softness of the cotton, too, but I’d like more lather. So, I’ll make another using Lion Brand Cotton Ease. It’s a 50 cotton/50 acrylic blend. We’ll see if the acrylic helps the lathering capability.
