Soap Doilies

[Lindy]

Hi there I decided to try making a soap doily for putting over a dish and then placing soap on over top to help dry out the soap after use as well as be decorative.

Here are a couple more of my face cloths - one knitted and the other crochet using the same yarn.

Thanks for looking....

Those look gorgeous! With the knit one, if I may ask, what is the pattern? I am such a beginner at knitting, but doing washcloths would likely help refine skills.

Those are adorable, you're so creative !!

Thank you Stacykins and Rhonda....

Stacykins here is the pattern for the knit:
Cast on 30 stitches - knit first 5 rows
Next row - knit 3 purl to last 3 stitches - knit 3
Next row - knit
Repeat these rows to size you want then knit next 4 rows and then cast off.

I've crocheted the edges to make a fluffy edge.

Oh,oh,oh.....I can do that! Thanks Lindy :wink: I love the idea of a soap doily. Decorative, like you say, practical - so the soap lasts longer; and then you can use it to clean your face! (Or maybe not..... :roll: )

The way I'm thinking of marketing them is the round crochet piece as the doily and then a square one either knit or crochet is the same colour to make a set. They work really well for the 1 lb soap blocks.....
