Small Drawstring Soap Sachet

Here is a small drawstring soap sachet I made on the ITA mitten Loom using 2 strands of Lion Brand Cotton yarn.
  • Using 2 strands, crochet a chain or make an i-cord of about 24 inches.
  • Using 2 strands, cast on and knit 12 rows
  • Lay the crochet chain around the inside of the loom with each end going through a hole on each side of the beginning peg.
  • Pull the first row of loops onto each peg, like putting a brim on a hat and knit off.
  • Knit 16 more rows and close off like closing a hat off. *hint: if you already have soap for the sachet, put the soap inside the loom before closing off to be sure of the right fit, knit extra rows if needed for the length of your soap.
  • Pull the chain (like a drawstring) and tie a bow. The bow can be used to hang it in the shower!
Its a perfect fit for the Bath and Body Works glycerin soap.

*Note:
I prefer the ITA mitten loom because of the flexible pegs. Cotton yarn does NOT have any "give" to it so the mitten loom made it a little easier to lift off the pegs. My next one will be made on the XL Adult sock loom from DA with cotter pins so the yarn slides off the pegs easier.

My Loom Collection


Here is a picture of my looms. I know the KK's are missing and I think a couple more are lol

Some of my stash


This is only a VERY small part of my stash that I have in my rec room. One of these days I will get it out of all my hiding spots and out of storage to put it all together. Please ignore the mess! lol

My first afghan


This is my first afghan made on a loom. It was made on a 60-inch S-loom from Cindwoodcrafts. It was made using Lionbrand Homespun yarn. Its VERY soft and warm.

Some baby hats


I made several baby hats when I started looming. Making hats got old quick. There are only so many you can make and give away lol.
