This knit soap cover pattern is the perfect gift to combine with a bar of fancy spa soap. It is part of my Knit Spa Gift Set which includes the hand towel and face cloth.

Soap covers do two things. They allow you to use your soap right to the finish without having to deal with that little sliver of soap that breaks apart. It is still usable within the cover. So you no longer waste that last bit. It also makes your soap last twice as long. Perfect if you love fancy spa soaps like I do! I don’t mind spending $5-$10 for a fancy bar of soap if I know it will last twice as long. Slip that bar of soap into the shower bag and it will lather beautifully. The nubby texture of the soap cover will make you cleaner as it gently exfoliates the skin while you shower.
