Crochet Beautiful Loofah
Crocheting a beautiful loofah is not only a fun and creative activity but also a wonderful way to add a personal touch to your daily shower routine. Choosing vibrant yarn colors and experimenting with different stitch patterns can result in a unique and delightful loofah design. Plus, the satisfaction of using something handmade that you created yourself is truly special. It's a great opportunity to unwind, get creative, and maybe even make some thoughtful gifts for friends and family. So grab your crochet hook and yarn, and let's create some lovely loofahs together!
Materials:
--5.0mm hook
--Peaches & Creme (or the like) yarn in your color of choice
--tapestry needle for weaving
U.S. Stitch Abbreviations:
Ch: chain
Sl St: slip stitch
ESC: extended single crochet
HDC: half double crochet
FO: fasten off
Special Stitch:
1. Extended Single Crochet: insert hook into chain or stitch, yarn over, come back thru the chain or stitch (now you will have 2 loops on the hook). Yarn over and pull through one loop on the hook, yarn over and pull both loops through the hook.
Directions:
1. Leave a long tail (1-2 yards) at the beginning for making the hanging loop at the end. Ch 25. Sl st into the first chain to form a circle. Complete 24 ESC into the circle. Sl st join to the first ESC and Ch 1.
2. 3 HDC into each st around. Sl st join to first st and Ch1.
3. 3 HDC into each st around. Sl st join to first st and Ch1.
4. 3 HDC into each st around. Sl st join to first st and FO. Weave ends.
Assembly:
1. Using your tapestry needle and a length of yarn, you will want to weave in and out of the first round of stitches made. You will then pull the two ends of the yarn tight. This will form the Loofah's shape. Now, secure by tying the ends together several times in knots and then trim ends.
Loop:
Now, you will join yarn in the yarn you left at the beginning. Make 25-30 chains. Then either SC or sl st across. Attach the end to the base of the tail to form the loop.
Weave ends.
That's it. Quick, simple and easy.
