Pineapple Soap Saver Crochet Pattern Free
The
Pineapple Soap Saver Crochet is a life saver! I went to a trip the other day
and brought mine, that was the best item on my luggage. It prevents the soap
from melting and become a nasty piece of soap.
This pattern blends functionality and aesthetic in one design. When made with soft and and durable yarn, it
ensures that your soap lasts longer by allowing it to dry between uses.
Before my trip I searched
some Pineapple Soap Saver Crochet Pattern and Pineapple soap bag but didn't find one that
stood out, so I decided to create my own. I wanted something different from
everything I saw online and this pineapple version got my heart.
I hope you love it as much as I do and
also hope it is really helpful to you as it is for me when I travel.

Yarn selection
For
this project I opted for a yarn that facilitates the absorption of the water.
Since the idea is to keep the soap free from the water and moisture, the best
option I found was the 100% cotton yarn.
This way, the water will be kept in the yarn and the soap will be kept
dry, therefore being usable again.

Cut 4 pieces of green yarn (I am using yellow just to demonstrate) measuring 15 inches each. Separate 2 for each side.
Using a pointless tapestry needle, thread them through the soap saver using the holes we made on round 11. 2 coming from left and 2 coming from right side.
Using a tapestry needle, insert one bead on each 2 ends of the yarn and make a knot at the end. (make sure they are not twisted)
Pair them with some handmade soaps and they will also be great option for a gift.
And you are done!
