BARB'S LARGE SOAP SAVER

Directions:

Special Stitch:  Reverse single crochet is worked just like regular single crochet except you put the hook in  left to right instead of right to left. At the end of Row 6 you will  join with a sl st and ch1 then going back into the stitch with your hook that  you just worked you will work a sc in that stitch and continue working the reverse sc in each stitch around   NOTE:  If this stitch is too difficult or awkward for you you can just hdc on round 7 instead of working the reverse single crochet.
