Bev's V-Stitch Soap Sack
Copyright Beverly A Qualheim 2023
I am making these for Mesa Valley Estates (Assisted Living and Memory Care) who cared for my dad for 19 months.
These hold the soap in securely so that the bars don't drop and have to picked up, which can be dangerous for older people.
This will be on-going and if you want to help, please send soap sacks (with soap or without) to:
Bev Qualheim- PO Box 427, Logandale, NV 89021 USA

Rnd 2 - 12: 2 HD in center of each V-Stitch, join with a sl st in the middle of the 1st V, ch 1. (10 Vs) (TIP: between V-stitches it will look like you are skipping 1 stitch. That's how I tell where to put the hook for the next set of 2 HDC's)
