Tutor’s Suggestions
-
Symmetry Check: Ensure you have exactly the same number of decorative clusters on both sides of the heart (the tutor has 13 on each side) to keep the shape balanced.
-
Sewing Technique: Hide your stitches by sewing "underneath" the decorative border clusters so the seam remains invisible from the outside.
You can hang it by the drawstring, keep it beside your sink, or tuck it into a travel bag to make washing hands or bathing more comfortable and easy.
This tiny heart design adds personality and warmth to hygiene routines and gifts, making it perfect for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, or thoughtful presents that show care.
Special Features
-
Cluster Border: The "bichinho" border (made of 4-dc clusters) creates a textured, scalloped edge that is very visually appealing.
-
Integrated Button Loop: The design includes a built-in 12-chain loop at the top to secure the heart closed.
-
Two-Panel Construction: You create two identical heart panels and sew them together, ensuring a sturdy holder for the soap.
Because the pouch can be made in different colors and sizes, it offers flexibility for personal style or seasonal themes, and it can be used not only for soap but also for small items like bath salts or tiny bath sponges.
Level of Difficulty
Intermediate. While the stitches are basic (chains, double crochets, and clusters), the shaping of the heart and the specific placement of the clusters along the edges require careful attention to the row-by-row instructions.
Working on this project can feel satisfying and relaxing, giving you a useful item that looks neat and handcrafted. The overall look is both functional and visually pleasing, blending utility with a bit of handmade beauty that suits any home setting.
Conclusion
This heart-shaped soap holder is a delightful project that combines structural crochet with decorative flair. The result is a fragrant, textured accessory that is as functional as it is beautiful. Whether you make it in pastel cotton or rustic twine, it is sure to be a hit as a handmade token of appreciation.
Pro Tip
When working the 4-dc clusters for the border, keep your tension slightly loose on the initial 3 chains. This allows the "bead" to sit more prominently and prevents the edges of the heart from curling inward too tightly.
