Cute Soap Cozy Crochet Pattern for Beginners

When I was a crochet newbie, I was always looking for quick and easy crochet patterns. I wanted to make pretty things, but also see results quickly.
I made many scarves, but they took me forever. Then I moved on to fingerless gloves (to go with the scarves), but those involved increasing and decreasing and long story short, to this day I wear a pair where the left glove is quite a bit wider than the right one.
So if you too are looking for a quick and easy crochet project that results in something pretty and useful, I can highly recommend this cute soap cozy.

Materials
Yarn: Worsted Cotton, 4 colours
Crochet Hook: 5mm (metric) / Size H (US) / Size 6 (UK)
Yarn Needle to weave in ends
Notes
- My cosy turned out to be around 6cm x 10cm which is the perfect size for a Dove soap bar. If your favourite soap has a different size, you will have to adapt the pattern accordingly.
- Make sure you use cotton yarn, because it can handle getting all wet and soapy
Soap Cozy Crochet Pattern
- chain 33
- double crochet in the second chain from the hook. double crochet in each chain all the way to the end. you’ll have a total of 32 double crochets. change colour.
- chain 2, double crochet in the last stitch from your previous row, double crochet in each stitch all the way to the end (32 double crochets in total). change colour.
Repeat this row 3 times, so that you have 4 rows in total like in the image below)
- Fold up one end of your rectangle leaving 4 stitches free as a flap. Single crochet the front and back together, which means you insert your hook first through the top of the front stitch, then through the back, yarn over, pull through both layers. You now have 2 loops on your hook. Yarn over again and pull through both loops to complete the single crochet.
- Weave in ends.
- Turn inside out, insert soap, and get ready to lather up!
Happy showering!
