Below is my free crochet shower puff pattern which is suitable for beginners as well as crocheters who are looking for a quick, satisfying stash-busting project! This pattern uses a small amount of cotton yarn and is lots of fun.
I first came up with the idea of a crochet shower puff when I was looking at crochet for the home. The added bonus of this project is that it is eco friendly if you use a sustainable yarn.
Plastic-free crochet shower puff pattern
Crochet yourself a washable cotton shower puff or give to friends and family as a last minute gift. This puff uses less than 100g of DK weight cotton- a handy stashbuster!
Instructions are written in US terms throughout.
The puff is made by establishing the ring of the core first, which won’t be seen once the puff is complete. You will then create the handle, which involves making 40 chains and connecting it to the centre ring with a slip stitch. The piece is then worked in the round using single crochet and double crochet.
Instructions are for a crochet bath puff. Please note that whether you choose the recommended yarn or not, for best result, please use cotton dk yarn, as this can be washed at 60 degrees to maintain hygiene.
