Pampering Massage Soap Saver

November 16, 2012 By: Tamara Kelly130 Comments

Massage soap with the bumps and nubs on one side is lovely stuff. But what happens when you use soap? Within a few showers, those bumps are gone. What to do? Make the Pampering Massage Soap Saver!

The soap sack is a quick project – each one done in an hour or less – but don’t let the soap itself be an afterthought. Bean Tree Soap is where I get all my precious lovely soaps for gift giving (and a few for myself)! It’s handcrafted artisan soap, as well as lotion bars, lip balms, and more. There are gift sets, custom scents, even soap on a rope that smells like dirt for the hunters on your gift list! It really is gorgeous, gorgeous stuff, I can’t say enough good things about the products.

Prefer to buy rather than make? There are Moogly made soap sacks available at Bean Tree Soap, or you can head to the Moogly Makers page to order from one of the talented crocheters listed there!

Now on to the free crochet pattern!

    well, I made it. But it took me a while to realize that I was supposed to turn in the traditional “baby blanket” way. I turned the pouch and changed directions, but did not end up with a seam. You should try that — it saves the seam sewing. I also made mine another 2 rows longer because my husband (the receiver of this gift) used a longer bar of soap. Thanks for the pattern.

        I’m apparently more (or less) confused than I thought I was. Matter of fact I was laying in bed thinking — “I followed the directions exactly, so what did I miss.” In your last direction what threw me off was the “seamless join”
        Anyhow — thanks! And the soap – wonderful. I got a super quick reply from them and will be ordering to fill up my scrubby pockets.

            Heh, no worries! I understand. I should probably have been more clear about turning the bag “wrong side out” when “turning.” Just because it’s clear to me when I write it doesn’t mean it’s clear to anyone else! I’m so glad you ordered the soaps – they really are lovely!

      Jennifer, if you like the way it looks “wrong side out” better than “right side out,” then go with it! πŸ˜€ Everybody stitches differently, so always go with what you think looks or works best!

      πŸ˜€ It’s kind of confusing if you haven’t encountered it before – it’s a technique I like to use that I haven’t seen many other places. Basically, each row is worked, and then joined to the first stitch, but the you go ahead and turn to work the next row from the inside, or wrong side, of the bag. This gives you the benefit of working in the round – no seaming, with the benefit of working in rows – no vertical slanting (the way items worked in the round so often have a seam that slants to the right instead of being straight up and down, and stitches that twist around the project). Sort of a best of both worlds solution! πŸ˜€

      You can flip it inside out if you like, or just work from the inside – whatever is easiest for you! I usually flip for the first few rows and work from the inside towards the end.

    This may be a silly question, but…once you bathe with the little thing, does the soap stay inside until used again? Does it dry well with the soap left in? This is adorable and I want to try it. I make crocheted washcloths, this would be nice for gifts. Thanks for any hints!

      Hi Katy! Basically you’re “spinning” the piece you’ve made, working into the edges all around. So you work into the sides/ends of the stitches, then along the starting chain then the other end, until you’ve circled the rectangle and are working in the round. Just like putting a border on a blanket, except you’re not doing extra stitches in the corners because we don’t want it to lay flat. Does that help?

          This is one of those cases where I’m sure if we were in the same room for 5 minutes we’d have it sorted. Are you turning at the end of each round? Are you making sure not to work into the slip stitch?

            I’m too new to all this to know… I’m thinking I’ll take the pattern with me to the local yarn shop or Joann’s. I’ve tried marking the first sc. I’ve tried counting all the stitches when I finish a round…and just somehow the bumps get thrown off. I probably have too many other things going on at the same time.
            When I see that the bump is off I end up counting 21 stitches..So I guess I am going into the slip stitch…*head explodes*

            I think I’m hung up on the same part to – since my bobbles aren’t lining up I think this part is where the problem is. When you have the two hdc at the ends of the rows – I’m assuming these are NOT in the same stitch as the last stitch (meaning you end up with three hdc in the same loop) – but rather two separate hdc’s in the SIDES?

      If you can find a work-around, go for it! It might also help to put a stitch marker in the last stitch of each round, before you slip stitch. Then you can be sure to work into that stitch in the next row.

    Love this item so much and want to make one for each of my sisters. I find the CL quite confusing. Not sure how to do it by the written pattern. I yo, insert hook into st – what do you mean by ‘pull up a loop to height of row? do you loop around the hook? the ‘working into same st each time’ – I just can’t wrap my little brain around it. Sorry if I am missing something.

    Fabulous idea! Thank you so much for sharing the and all the other great patterns you have created. I am thinking of making these as sets along with the back scrubber… for Christmas this year. And the soap will be an added bonus.

    Love love love this pattern!! After ripping out rows umpteen times because my stitch count was not coming out correctly I finally “got it”. Now I’m whipping these out like nobody’s business. Thanks so much for posting this pattern.

    I want to make these for teacher gifts, and made a test using Bernat handicrafter (i had some already). It’s 100% cotton, and didn’t really lather very well at all.
    Is the yarn you recommended part acrylic or 100% cotton?
    These are so cute, I really want to make them, and have them lather well :-\

      Hi Alexis! I did use 100% cotton. To encourage more lathering, maybe bump up a hook size to get bigger holes between stitches? Just brainstorming…

    Hi Tamara,

    Love this and am going to give it a go for some gifts. Just wondering if you have ever used an acrylic yarn (or know someone who has)? Or does it just not lather well?

    Thanks

    This may be a silly question, but do you put the soap in and take it out each time you use it? I was initially thinking leaving the soap in and let dry, but wouldn’t the soap get mushy? Thank you!

    When you slip stitch into the single crochet, do you work your first stitch of the round into the same SC as the slip stitch?

    I LOVE this pattern, I need to work on my guage to make the nubbies more nubbie (mine are a little too soft and keep folding back into the fabric). For extra scrubby/sudsy – use a scrubby yarn on the other side with your regular yarn, I always have trouble with soap savers and suds till I started doing scrubby yarn on a side of these bits.

    Hi Tamara, thanks for the adorable pattern! I’m working on this, and it is coming out beautifully… But when I finish the 3rd repeat (so I have 12 bumps plus the next row of flat crocheting) I realized that while *perhaps* wide enough, my sack is not nearly tall enough for a bar of soap. I end up needing 2-3 extra rounds of bumps and flat rows. What should I do? I really want it to come out the right size with only the correct number of rounds, per the pattern.

    I’m thinking, increase my hook size and/or adjust my thread tension…???

      Thank you Benita! I would think you could start with a chain of 23, skip the st closest to the work, and hdc into each remaining chain across. Then go from Rnd 3 working in rows – just turn without the join. Then, you can seam it up on the bottom and ends. I haven’t tried it, but I believe it will work! πŸ™‚
      I do recommend trying it in the round though – there’s a video tutorial linked above that walks you through this pattern!
