Crochet Soap Doily

Crochet soap doilies are not only functional but also add a touch of charm to your bathroom decor. By placing your soap on a delicate crocheted doily, you can prevent your soap from getting soggy and help it last longer. These cute accessories are easy to crochet with basic stitches, making them a fun project for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. You can customize them in any color or size to match your bathroom aesthetic or as thoughtful handmade gifts for your loved ones. So, grab your crochet hook and a ball of yarn, and let your creativity flow as you whip up some adorable crochet soap doilies to elevate your daily washing routine with a hint of style and sweetness.

Approximately 4" across

Supplies:
25 yards of #18 nylon thread (I think the colors from the Artiste line at Hobby Lobby are gorgeous, but the Red Heart cord feels the best to work with, for what it's worth)
Size F crochet hook
3 large flat back decorator marbles

Doily Center
(make 2)
ch 6, sl st to first ch to form a ring
R1: ch 2, 14 dc into the ring, sl st to first dc stitch to close round (14 st)
R2: ch 3 (counts as a dc + a ch 1), (3 dc in next st, ch 1, skip 1 stitch) 6 times, 2 dc in next st, sl st to 2nd ch to close round (28 st)
Note about Round 2 **I don't know the proper way to explain this, but close the round by crocheting into the 2nd of the chain stitches you made when you started the round. I have wasted too much time trying to figure out how to word this so that no one will be confused. This will end the round with 7 clusters of 3 stitches, and will line you up for the next row. Thank you. **
R3: ch 2, 4 dc in ch 1 sp, (5 dc in next ch 1 sp) 6 times, sl st to 2nd ch to close round (35 st)
Fasten off. Weave in ends.
