Woven Windows Soap Sack Crochet pattern, digital file PDF, digital pattern PDF

As my pile of completed soap sacks grows ... so does the remnant pile! Time to work up some designs with colorwork. I found quite a bit in my stash that weighed 0.5 or 0.6 oz, so not enough for a full soap sack, but perfect for this pattern. Using simple stitches and a couple of contrasting colors, you'll create a fun and unique design.
Soap Sacks are a great way to use up your cotton stash and give back to the community. I was excited to get involved but struggled to find knitting patterns, so I wanted to provide an option for other knitters out there.
Most patterns are written as 6” across and 8” tall, but since this is a horizontal pattern, I flipped it. So you will cast on enough stitches for 8” across (to fold in half) and knit 6” from the cast on.
The crochet hook can be used for the bind-off to provide a little more elasticity but is primarily used for a chain loop. If you prefer an i-cord or another knitting technique the hook isn’t necessary.
