Slouchy Soap Saver Bag Pattern

by Elizabeth Mareno 

This pattern makes a GREAT stash-busting scrap-user-upper. If you have about an ounce of yarn, you have enough to make a soap saver bag! These make great gifts for both men and women, plus these are great for selling at craft fairs, especially if you can get yourself next to the handmade soap booth!  

Materials:

1 oz #4 worsted weight cotton (Used Hobby Lobby "I Love This Cotton")

#7/4.5mm hook

Large Eye needle for sewing ends.
