Assembly:
It now looks like a type of tetris block. You will be folding it up into a box, then sewing it together. It will feel kinda snug on the soap bar, that's ok.
The finished crochet work laid out flat. |
I've used plastic safety pins to hold the sides together and show you how it makes a box. The short flaps of the tetris piece make the litte square sides. |
I recommended sewing the three seams together from one square side, then sewing the short two seamsof the other square side. |
Then slip in the soap and sew up the last two sides. |
