Not only is this a great little gift with a handmade bar of soap, but it’s also a fantastic way to practice lace techniques and cast-ons. The washcloth is knitted from the center out to the edge, and the soap sack is knitted from the bottom up. Best of all, it takes only one skein of yarn and a little bit of your time.
