Crochet Pattern: Delta Soap Saver
By Claire Ortega-Reyes – 8 Comments| Spa products are typically pricey-but in reality you can make your own! One of my favorites are soap savers. They actually save you money by making the most of soap bars, make sure your soap doesn’t jump out of your hands, and also give you extra exfoliation. The great news is, they are easy to make! Rachel has already shared some fantastic patterns: 5 Simple Soap Savers and Absolutely Easy Soap Saver. These patterns use medium weight yarn; and so I decided to try my hand on a thread version. |  |

If you need anything, just leave a comment below and I’ll get back to you when I can. Happy crocheting!
Pretty! I can’t wait to make it! Thanks Claire!
Really important: When making soap savers, don’t use cotton — way too absorbent. At least Peaches and Creme is. It will change your soap saver into a soap eater. Now I use 1 strand of cotton (for absorbency) and 1 strand of acrylic. Works great.
How could I make this bigger or smaller? What is it a multiple of?
Hello Sarah Dee! The total stitches of the base should always be a multiple of 5. Happy crocheting!
I like this ideal, thanks for sharing…
claire is this a free pattern can i make them to sell or give as gifts if you can e-mail me thanks missya
Hello Missy! Sure, it’s a free pattern, and you can sell items made using the pattern. Just be sure not to reproduce or sell the pattern itself! We’d also appreciate it if you can cite Crochet Spot as the pattern source for the item. Read more about it in Rachel’s post here: http://www.crochetspot.com/crochet-pattern-copyrights/
Thanks and happy crafting!
I was wondering if we could have another photo round of crochet?
Maybe with any any stuff less than 12inches…..like a soap saver , neclace, braclet, milk pot handle, baby bottle cover …. Just anything one can think of .It would be creative fun!!!
