Use a cotton yarn of your choice – not bulky! I use Bernat Handicrafter, or Sugar n’ Cream cotton yarn: 4 ply, worsted weight yarn. Both of these work great! If you choose Sugar n’ Cream, buy 3 balls of the 2oz sizes. (I bought 2 balls and found myself about 10 stitches short.)
So, pick your yarn, get your hook ready, and let’s get started!
Abbreviations:
st = Stitch
ch = Chain
sl st = slip stitch
dc = double crochet
rnd = round
- Select a size G hook (4.25mm)
- Ch 4, form a ring by joining the first ch with a sl st
- Ch 40 (This will be the loop for hanging the puff- if you’d like it longer/shorter, you can adjust it now) sl st into the center of the ring
- Rnd 1: ch 2, dc 40 into center of the ring, join with a sl st (For me, it got REALLY tight trying to fit them all in, but if you don’t, your stitches towards round 4 will be loose and it won’t be a tight ball-like puff.)
- Rnd 2: ch 2, 3 dc in each st around, join with sl st
- Rnd 3: ch 2, 3 dc in each st around, join with sl st
- Rnd 4: ch 2, 3 dc in each st around, join with sl st
- Tie off, and weave in ends… then enjoy your new bath puff!
Have fun!

/ March 31, 2012These look like they’d last longer than the loofas I keep buying. I like the idea of being able to make my own in my favorite colors! Cool DIY!!
