Crochet Soap Holder

Do you use bar soap or keep it in your guest bath?  When it gets to small pieces, it can sometimes be easier to throw it out than to keep hold of it, so this will come in handy.  It also works well as a body scrubber, and it is so much easier with the soap inside.

Size J crochet hook

2 – 3 ounces Worsted weight yarn
FPDC = Front Post Double Crochet
BPDC = Back Post Double Crochet

Chain 5, join with a slip stitch

Row 3:  (1 SC in the first chain, 2 SC in the next chain) – repeat to the end.
