Nylon Tulle Bath PuffFaster drying than cotton, these bath puffs are a little rougher...good for sloughing winter skin!

Materials:2 yards nylon tulle cut into 3/4” strips (see note)Crochet hook size K

Pattern Note: I used the tulle that comes on a cardboard tube. It’s 6” wide x 25 yards long, so there's only 4 strips that need to be tied together. (It’s usually found in the bridal de-partment of craft stores.) I marked eight 3/4” strips (7 cut lines) and cut them with a utility knife while the tulle was still on the tube. One of these rolls of tulle is enough to complete 2 bath puffs. You can also use tulle bought by the yard, then folded evenly and cut into strips. Tie the strips together with a knot...the slit-joining method used for fabric doesn’t work for tulle because it tears easily.

Tie the tulle strips together and roll into a ball (or work off the tube.) Ch 4, join with a sl st to form ring.Round 1: (Sc, ch 3) 35 times in the ring; ch 35, sc in ring; join with a sl st to the first sc.Round 2: Sl st into the first ch 3 sp, ch 4 to count as the first dc and the first ch 1, (dc, ch 1) 4 more times in the same ch 3
