Patriotic Soap Bag Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach Crochet

 Patriotic Soap Bag
Crochet Pattern
 By Sara Sach Crochet

I have received quite a few crochet pattern requests

 for soap sacks and bags for giving to veterans.

I decided to design one that has a Patriotic style to it.

I also wanted to keep it clean and simple so it

 could be stitched up quickly.

I designed it using Crafters Secret from Hobby Lobby 

100% Cotton yarn. The Color is called 

peppermint Twist, which sounds Christmasy

 but I when I first saw it I thought of 

red and white stripes. I paired it with a 

royal blue and I love the the results.

It definitely says American Flag to me.

If You do not have this yarn you can alternate

 red and white yarn and it would still look nice.

And Remember, you do not have to make this

 Soap bag in Patriotic colors. You can use colors

 you like, and any colors you have on hand.

It is a wonderful way to use up leftover cotton

 yarn and make something useful.
