ladies Lacy Crochet top

I have made a few of these in A  child size (sweaters and dresses ) , This is the first in a ladies size ...The hardest part was figuring out the amount of stitches I needed to convert from a child to an adult ., then figuring out where the arm holes would be ...I had to take apart the top section 3 times before I got it right ! What made it even harder was that the first child size one I made I had created in a very thin yarn , I then converted my pattern into the child thread pattern . On the original pattern I had a button closure in the back ,On a few I made them all opened in the front with a few buttons .  On this pattern I omitted the button closure and made it very simple and elegant .

I am very happy with the results . I am hoping it will fit properly .

CROCHET SOAP SAVERS

colors from back to front , blue,cream,mustard,
pink, light multi, dark multi and green .

I took all your e`mail advice and made the soap savers with matching face scrubbies :) , NEVER WASTE SOAP AGAIN ! Just stick a bar of soap inside the pouch , wet and scrub away , when done squeeze excess water and just hang to dry for next use . The face scrubbies are great for exfoliating the skin , leaves your face feeling as soft as a babies .

If you still do not see the color your looking for just request a special order . I can easily find a yarn to match the decor in your bathroom... These are also great to use as little pouches in your purse for loose change , jewelry or other little trinkets that end up in our purse .They also make a unique Gift or party favor . next time you make someone a gift basket , add one of these and you will see the sparkle in their eyes ! I bet your gift will not have doubles :)


Each pouch has a draw string and  measures aprox  3`` X 4 ``
face scrubbie measures Aprox 4``

All these were made with 4 ply 100 % acrylic yarns for their durability .
