Mini Loofah

I just made my first crocheted mini loofah!!  I’m so excited!  I found a pattern online for a loofah ball on befriendmantic’s blog o’ crafts.  I made it with 100% Natural Hemp cording.  I ran out of yarn/cord before I got the last row done, but it makes a cute little mini loofah, which I am SO proud of! 

 

I missed crocheting very much and hadn’t made time to do it in probably four or five years!  This was so easy.  Go ahead... try it!

 

Materials:

100% Natural Hemp Yarn (Again, all I could find was cord, but it worked pretty well!)

Size I9 (5.5mm) crochet hook

 

Abbreviations:

st: stitch     ch: chain     sl st: slip stitch     dc: double crochet

 

Instructions:

ch 4, form a ring by joining with a sl st in first st

ch 40

sl st into center of ring (this forms the loop for hanging the loofah)

R1: ch2, dc 40 into center of ring, join with sl st (40 st)

R2: ch2, dc 3 in each st around, join with sl st (120 st)

R3: ch2, dc 3 in each st around, join with sl st (360 st)

R4: ch2, dc 3 in each st around, join with sl st (1080 st)

Bind off. Weave in ends.

 

Wasn’t it so simple?!?!? I am so making more!  But first, I’m going to try this out and see how it works for me.  I’ll let you know.

 

What have you made lately that is simple, but you very much enjoyed the creation process?
