DIRECTIONS:
Loofah is worked as a long continuous round. No need to keep track of the rounds - just keep working until the Loofah is the size that you like or you've used all the yarn.Pattern is meant to be an easy 'recipe' for crocheting a simple Loofah. Don't worry about exact number of stitches, your Loofah will look great even if you miss a stitch!
LOOFAH
First make an adjustable ring as follows:
Wrap yarn around index finger. Insert hook into ring on finger, yarn over and draw up a loop.
Carefully slip ring from finger, then make a chain about 7 in. (18 cm) long.
Then make a single crochet into the adjustable ring - this will make the chain into a hanging loop.
Make 19 more single crochet into the ring.
Gently but firmly, pull tail to tighten center of ring.
You'll be working in the round from this point on.
For the first round, work 4 double crochet stitches into each of the 20 single crochet stitches.
Continue around and around, working 4 double crochet stitches into each double crochet as you come to it until the Loofa is as large as you like or until you run out of yarn.
Fasten off.
FINISHING
Thread the beginning yarn tail into the blunt needle and weave into the Loofah.
Repeat with the ending yarn tail.
