Puff Stitch Hand Soap Cozy
Here is my free crochet pattern for a bathroom hand soap cozy. It’s great if you don’t have one of them high-class containers for your bathroom hand soap as it hides the store-bought bottle. Not only that, but it also adds to the decor especially if you have other crocheted items in the bathroom. It’s a great way to add your personal touch.
This cozy is crocheted from the bottom up. I realized after I wrote the original pattern that it might have been better to work it from the top down and leave the bottom open. But, I improvised and added a string to the top in order to close it up nice and tight.
The Yarn
I used Bernat Handicrafter Cotton, because that is readily available in my local yarn stores, and it’s become my favorite go-to cotton over the years! Any similar cotton such as Lily Sugar N Cream will work just as well.
The Stitch
The stitch pattern used for this cozy matches my earlier designs for the washcloth and scrubbie, as well as the puffy soap saver pattern.
Special Stitch Instructions:
Puff St: Ch 2, (Yo, insert hk in st or sp indicated, yo and pull through) 2 times, 5 lps on hook, yo and pull through all 5 lps, ch 1.
