Scraps of yarn have been recycled into a crocheted sachet!

Crocheted Soap saver

The idea I got from Crochet Pattern central. It was very useful for Abhi to use soap for bathing himself. With this there are two advantages for him. One is the ample lather you get. Another is now he got a good grip on the soap which was difficult otherwise, especially to use his right hand fingers.

Method

Start with as many chains depending on the width required for your soap saver. Then do (Ch3, skip one ch, slst in nxtch), repeat for the whole line. Continue this for double the length of the height required to keep the soap. Fold it and join the sides with single crochets. Thread a drawstring for closing.

Look for other ways to use small amount of scrap wool –

Here is one best way to recycle bits & pieces (long enough ones) into a usable item.

Start with a basic foundation chain of 20 or 25 ch, depending on the length required. I have used double crochets with a chain in between to create the sides.
You have to stitch double the length of the required height. Once done fold it and stitch the 2 sides with single crochets or slip stitches. With out cutting off extend a chain and loop it in the corner to make a loop for hanging. You can also make a long chain and thread it through one of the top rows for a draw string.

Use this for keeping the camphor balls or floral scents inside your wardrobe. When using naphthalene balls or odonil, refreshners etc you can hang it out of reach for children.
