Jump to Pattern
When I recently learned about the Soap S.A.C.K mission, I knew I had to get involved. These are so fun to make and good for the soul, as an important way to give back to our community. I have a lot of cotton sitting in my stash, so this was the perfect time to get to work.

As a knitter, I struggled a bit to find patterns ... when I found a seed stitch pattern on Ravelry, I was off to the races.
I made about a dozen with this pattern but I wanted to play around with different stitches to create some variety for other knitters out there.
Most patterns are written as 6" across and 8" tall, but since this is a horizontal pattern, I flipped it. So you will cast on enough stitches for 8" across (to fold in half) and knit 6" from the cast on.
If y'all have seen the Woven Waves dishtowel you know that I'm obsessed with this slip stitch pattern. Naturally, I had to use it for a soap sack, and it doesn't disappoint. It doesn't have quite as much "scrubby" texture as my other patterns, but it still produces a nice fabric conducive to a washcloth.
The pattern is easy to memorize and great for beginners or TV knitting. The finished product appears more complicated than it is.
