SOAP DISPENSER COVER 4
GRANNY SQUARE 1
I just made three apron inspired soap dispenser
covers and totally loved it – and then chanced on this one –a beach / boho /
halter top made with a granny square pattern. How many ways can one use a
granny square, right?
Come along .. let’s work on this together.

Materials used : Just
a little bit of Oswal Cashmilon acrylic 4-ply yarn, with a 4 mm
crochet hook.
You can work in knitting cotton too – I just had
the coolest little bits of acrylic handy so am using up my little bits and
bots.
You can make this project with any yarn
and a hook that suits it.
Skill level : Easy
Stitches used :
Starting slip knot : Here’s how you start with a slip knot. https://youtu.be/lJcqsVcs8cw
Starting slip knot 1 or the Sloppy Slip knot : This is a neat new way to start your work without a slip knot. https://youtu.be/YfC7KmGpifs
Abbreviations used :

sc
: Single crochet
dc : Double crochet sp
: Space
sl-st : Slip stitch ch : Chain
st(s) : Stitch(es) hk : Hook

Instructions using U.S terminology
Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.
Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern. For your convenience there video tutorials through the blog too
Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement.
This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.

What do you
need to do before you start?
1.
Measure
your bottle(s) and figure out what approx length and width you’d like.
2.
Work
the pattern as given and see how large a square you get. If you reduce the hook size a bit, you can
reduce the square size.
