Perfect For Advanced Beginners: A Simple Crochet Project
This pattern is beginner-friendly and easy to follow—even if you’re just getting started with crochet.
If you can create a basic chain and know how to do single and double crochet stitches, you’ll be able to do this project with ease.
What Is The Best Yarn For Shower Pouf?
- 100% Nylon Yarn
- Why it’s great: Nylon is durable, water-resistant, and dries quickly, making it ideal for bath accessories.
- Try: Red Heart Scrubby Sparkle or Nylon Netting Yarn.
- Cotton Yarn (as a second option)
- Why it works: Natural, soft, and gentle on skin. However, it absorbs more water and takes longer to dry.
- Try: Lily Sugar’n Cream or Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran for a soft, thick puff.
- Scrubby Yarn
- Why it’s fun: Designed specifically for exfoliating projects, it has added texture to help create lather.
- Try: Red Heart Scrubby or Scrubby Cotton for a blend of comfort and function.
Tip:
If you want the pouf to dry faster and last longer, go with nylon or a scrubby yarn.
If you’re after something softer and more natural, cotton is a good choice, especially for sensitive skin.
