A Simple Set

Yesterday I released these washcloth and soap saver sets on my Etsy shop, as well as the free patterns for each in my Ribblr Shop.

Today I have also listed the PDF patterns for free download on my Ko-Fi shop: Washcloth pattern and Soap saver pattern.

The washcloth is knit and measures 8 inches by 8 inches. The soap saver is crocheted and measures 6 inches total length, 4.5 inches inner length where the soap goes, and 6.5 inches around. It’s even large enough to fit my 8 ounce brand new bar of soap with a small bit of work.

The best part about these is that you can make them in any 100% cotton yarn you choose. These samples in particular are made in Premiere Yarns Just Cotton which is available exclusively through Dollar Tree. I have also made the washcloths in Lily and Cream and Peaches and Cream yarns.

Shades of Purple

There’s a purple theme going on here lately. That’s perfectly fine by me.

Remember my Self-Striped Heart Gloves? I found another skein of the yarn I used, this time in purple.

There’s the same yarn-over heart on top and bottom.

These kind of gloves are really good for tasks that require the use of your fingers. Like using a smartphone, or typing.

You can buy this purple version by clicking here. They are made from 100% Microfiber Dralon and you can machine wash and dry them.

Flowers In Your Hair

I made a bunch of flowers at one point last year, intending to use them in headbands. Considering the giant plastic bag of them in the yarn basket, I never got beyond the first step.

The good news is that I had a ton of coordinating ones on hand when I decided to make barrettes.

The actual barrette (space for hair) is 2 inches, while the edge-to-edge measurements of the flower part is 4 inches long by 2.5 inches wide and measures about half an inch thick. There are two blue flowers side-by-side with the purple flower on top. I attached the flowers by wrapping purple embroidery floss around the flat edge of the barrette and sewing the flowers on with it.
