Soft Easy Bath Puffs

Cotton Bath Puff Crochet Pattern
Erin Olivia Designs, Lesley Dietschy & HDE Productions

This is my new favorite quick pattern. I admit that at some points there is some maneuvering the yarn around so you can fit all the stitches, but once you get through a couple, you will wind up having too much room left over at the end of each loop. My tip: Always count at each step so you do not go under or over and change the pattern, unless that is your attention. Then, please go right ahead! Counting makes sure you are staying on track so your final result will appear like the pattern writers.

I have planned on making a total of 4 (gifts for my bridemaids). Two are made from Lily Sugar & Cream yarn in each color; Grape and Daisy. They would be perfect gifts for anyone. There are some notes about how they do take longer to dry since they are cotton, but the first one I made was perfect and was so soft. How many times do you do something the first time and it worked as expected?

The pattern calls for 1 ball of the yarn for each bath puff and even using the recommended needle size (H crochet hook) I still had yarn left over. Not enough to make anything, unless it was really small or an embellishment.

Progress: Made 1.5/4, half way through #2. Pics to come when completed.

And I know that this is another current project, but there are a few more running around here that I am not bothering to mention or call out. :P Poor WIPs.
