Have you ever considered crocheting a cotton rag rug for the bathroom floor? A small rag rug would be a warm and inviting addition to a tile bathroom floor. Our rug crochet patterns and tutorials provide the instructions you need to make a gorgeous rug.

Pictured here: my favorite crocheted rag rug. I think it makes a fabulous bath mat, although you could use it in any room in your home.

Soap Saver Patterns

Soap savers can serve a few different functions:

  • Some people use them as a place to collect all the odds and ends of soap that would otherwise get wasted.
  • Some people use them as miniature decorative works of art in the bathroom.
  • Some people add them to spa gift baskets. Think about it: Which gift is more interesting — a bar of soap? Or a bar of soap enclosed in a unique, one-of-a-kind, kitchy vintage poodle soap saver? I think you know the answer to that. If you’re going to give pretty scented soaps as gifts, soap savers like these would be a lovely addition that can help to make the gift even more special.
  • Cheerful, bright-colored soap savers also a great way to pamper yourself.

The following soap saver patterns are all available on the internet for free:

So that’s our roundup of free patterns for making bath accessories. There are a few more patterns you really should be aware of, because there are some excellent bath accessory patterns available for sale.
