00:05hi everyone welcome to my tutorial and today I'm going to show you how to make a cute little bath
00:12poof and please follow along with the written pattern that I have for free up on my website
00:18I'll link that in the description box below and it'll make this tutorial quite a bit easier just
00:25to kind of have those written steps as well so starting you'll need some yarn of course and I'm
00:34using a hundred percent cotton yarn this is lily sugar and cream yarn and you'll use one color as
00:42the main color I've chosen this nice pink and you'll also use a tiny bit of a contrast color
00:51for the handle part of the bath poof so I'll be starting off with the contrast color and what
01:03you're going to do is in round one start off with a magic ring so here I'm looping it around
01:11my finger
01:11to begin and you're going to insert 20 single crochets into the magic ring so here I'm going
01:22to hold that and insert one two three all the way up to 20
01:44okay so now that you've got 20 single crochets on your magic ring you're going to make the handle
01:52so for the handle I chain 40 you can make it however long you want it to be so add
01:58or decrease chains if
01:59you wish but following the pattern you'll chain 40 so that's one two three four five six seven eight nine
02:1010 and I'll go a little faster here
02:29all right so now that you've got 40 chains what you're going to do is make sure your chain does
02:38not
02:38twist so I'm going to make it um go around making sure it doesn't twist and you're going to join
02:48with
02:49a slip stitch to the third oops not third sorry join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet
02:56in the magic ring so I'm going to look for that first single crochet right over here
03:10insert my hook and join with a slip stitch
03:23then go ahead and pull your ring tight
03:30all right so that's the first part um the very first round for our bath poof and guess what you
03:39only have two more rounds to go um so the next two will take a little longer though so you're
03:46going to
03:46change to the main poof color if you'd like that to be um pink then choose pink or whichever um
03:53color you
03:54prefer so I've got my main color here and you're going to go ahead and chain three to start
04:02one two three um you know what I'm going to do actually I'm going to pause here so that I
04:10can
04:10actually tie my end together and I'm gonna show you how I weave in my ends without sewing for these
04:28okay so disconnecting my white here because I'm no longer using that
04:34all right so for the second round what you're going to do essentially is put four double crochets in
04:42every single one of these 20 stitches the first chain three actually counts as a double crochet
04:50so we're going to put just three more double crochets in the same stitch
04:55I'm going to go ahead and put it in here so as you can see right in the same stitch
05:02here
05:12oh and let me pull this this is the starting um magic ring
05:20end let me just pull that through so it's not in the way okay
05:29watch me weave in all three of these ends together
05:33haha all right three double crochets in that very first stitch let's go insert hook
05:44one double crochet two double crochets
05:52and three double crochets all in this same stitch
05:58all right that makes four total with that starting chain
06:03now see how I had kind of trapped those ends together when I was doing the double crochets
06:09well you can do the same if you don't want to do any weaving in which um which I personally
06:15don't
06:15like to do so I'd like to just crochet them in all right so for the next stitch again like
06:23the like
06:23what you want to do all the way around is insert four double crochets so going in there's one
06:36two
06:43three
06:46and four
06:49now you might notice your um poof is gonna skip um a little bit wonky and frumpy and that's a
06:59good
06:59thing because you want your poof to be very frilly um so as you crochet make sure
07:06that you're inserting your hook in to the next oops into the next stitch you might want to push your
07:17stitches back to make sure you're not missing any stitches in between
07:22going in here and i'm gonna do three sorry four double crochets that's one two oops
07:42you know what these ends are starting to get in my way
07:46and they're hidden enough in those double crochets so i'm going to cut them off
07:53at this point
07:58yeah i kind of need a new pair of scissors these aren't
08:01super sharp anymore i made the mistake of using them on some
08:07harder things once and they're no longer ideal for cutting yarn okay so you've got one two and then
08:16one three four all in that same stitch
08:22scooch them over so you can make sure you see the next stitch insert four over there one
08:30two
08:34three and four all in that same stitch
08:41all right and i'm not gonna bore you to death so i'm just going to do this quickly all the
08:48way
08:48around at the end you're going to join with a slip stitch here and i will resume the video in
08:56just a
08:56little bit when i'm there all right
09:05all right 200 hours later just kidding that only took about six minutes so um as you see i am
09:15almost
09:15done with round one sorry round two of this bath poof and we only have round three left to go
09:23and then
09:24we're done so to finish up with round two i just did the last four double crochets in that last
09:32stitch
09:33i'm going to join with a slip stitch to the first um or to the top of the chain three
09:41that i started off with in the round so i'm going to insert my hook here and join with a
09:48slip stitch
09:52there we go all right i have this loose tail here um with yarn i just attached because i ran
10:00out of
10:00um yarn in a i started off with a smaller ball of pink yarn so attached it to a new
10:08ball all right
10:10so for round two um why do i keep saying round two i'm sorry for round three the very last
10:18round
10:19you're going to do the same um round two which is essentially to chain three first that count as the
10:28first double crochet and then in that first stitch insert three more double crochets one
10:39two
10:45and three
10:50all right with that starting chain you've got four double crochets on that first stitch
10:56in the next stitch and in each of those 80 stitches around you're going to insert four
11:03double crochets so i'll demonstrate that a couple more times and then move quickly through the rest
11:10so in this next stitch insert four double crochets that'll be one
11:25two
11:28three and four all in that same stitch
11:33stitch like so in the next stitch again keep going around inserting four double crochets in each stitch
11:45here's two and here's three and here's four
11:52four in this next stitch again four double crochets one and two
12:01three and four
12:07all right and you're going to do that all the way around and as you work you'll see that you're
12:14because
12:14of all these increases and we're all these we're jam packing these double crochets here so your puff
12:23i mean your poof sorry will naturally take form and it'll start curving
12:29and um as you work don't be afraid of it curling because that's what you want it to do
12:34um just make sure you're following the line of stitches that you made in round two okay
12:42so i'm gonna um cut back to this video after i finish round three so i don't bore you to
12:49death as
12:50you watch me do that and just as a reminder as you finish round three you're going to join with
12:58a slip
12:59stitch to the top of the chain three that you started with all right
13:15all right so um that was about 20 let me see 22 minutes um of crochet finishing that um round
13:27three
13:27and as you can see your poof will kind of naturally take that um curviness see how all the
13:37different layers are just curling together um so there you have it that's how you make a little bath
13:46poof and what's great is that it really doesn't take that long to make at all and you can make
13:52them
13:52in so many different colors and they make lovely little gifts um as a spa set too so if you'd
