Welcome to day 4 of the Advent CAL 2023 – the 10 Gift Bags of Christmas!

The fourth bag is again based on granny squares and I designed it specifically for a present of a bar of luxury soap (plus a washcloth, oops did I make a present?).   So I called it the Soap Gift Bag. Granny squares are extremely versatile and can be joined together to make a larger shape and 3D shapes.  Small granny squares are also great for using up leftover yarn and are more versatile when creating 3D shapes.  So this is a perfect stashbusting gift bag.

The pattern includes a diagram of how you join the grannies to make the bag. Once you’ve mastered the joining then you could make all shapes of bags with grannies.

The pattern is available here and is free provided you use the code SOAP on purchase.  All the patterns in the CAL will be available free for the duration of the CAL, until midnight GMT 13^th December 2023.

I hope you enjoy making this gift bag.  Please share progress on Ravelry, Facebook or instagram.

Until tomorrow, happy crocheting xxx
