Crochet Pattern: Fluffy Bath Puff

The Perfect Fluffy Bath Puff

(Updated 07/12/10)

Because these bath puffs are made from a cotton blend by Lion Brand (50% cotton, 50% acrylic), I make them tight, but medium sized. Double crocheted (larger) 100% cotton bath puffs tend to get too heavy when they get wet. This size is good for a child or adult.

Materials: 1 ball of medium weight 50% cotton/50% acrylic and crochet hook K.

Round 1: Chain 3, loop the chain back to the 1st chain.  Add 15 single stitches in the center of the circle you just created.  Chain 40 -- This will form the hanger. Loop the chain (hanger) back to the beginning of round 1 and add 1 single stitch to connect the hanger and with the ring.

Round 2 thru 6: 6 single stitches in each chain of the 15 chains.

Finish off

NOTE:  It takes about 1 hour for 'intermediate' crocheters.

Make Your Own Drink Cozies

Simple Crochet Pattern for Crochet Drink Cozies

I posted my pattern last week for the Red White & Blue Drink Cozy which is a super easy pattern to make.  This week I've been making the same drink cozies but with different yarn and appliques.  Here are a few to give you some ideas of what you can make for your own home:

I have a few of these in my ETSY shop if you'd like to take a peek.

Red White & Blue Linky Party

Link Up Your Favorite

Craft, People, or Scenery Pictures

of the 4th of July!

Quick post -- This is one of my favorite July 4th pictures.  We were at a local parade and this cute lady was so proud to be American!  I just had to get a picture of her.

Linky party rules:

1.  Post anything red white and blue - link to the post, not your main blog.

That's it - super easy, right?  Let's go!  What 'cha got?

Make Your Own Red White & Blue Cup Cozy

Super Easy Beginner Crochet Project for the 4th!

Make these for all of your guests!  Like my Red White & Blue Bangles, this cup cozy is super easy. 

  

Supplies: 

• 100% cotton yarn (use your leftover yarn from another project)
• Crochet hook - J
• Buttons, iron on patches, ribbon (any embellishment)

Pattern:

1. Chain 15. 
2. Single crochet into 2nd stitch from hook. 
3. Single crochet until end of chain. 
4. *Chain 1 and turn. 
5. Single crochet each stitch above, but only crochet the back stitch This will produce the ribbing effect.  
6. Repeat from * until it measures 8 inches. 
7. Fold the cozy in half with the last row and the first row together and slip stitch closed to form the cozy.

NOTE: 

You are crocheting sideways - as if you were to turn the cozy on it's side.  (I hope this makes sense.)  This tan organic cotton cozy only crocheted 11 stitches instead of 15, making it better for smaller glasses/cups.

((Shhh ... I'm sending this red, white and blue cozy to one of my best customers - I think she'll like it.))

I always have a few drink cozies in my ETSY shop if you'd rather I make them for you.
