Through The Window Soap Cozy (or Small Gift Bag)

"Mosaic crocheting is so much fun! My favorite way to work this stitch pattern is by using a variegated yarn as the background color. With that, the main color on top reminds me of a window pane – this inspired the name of this bag. Imagine looking “through the window” to a lake surrounded by gorgeous flowers! This project is excellent for stashbusting, and is perfect for personalizing a gift - use it as a small gift bag for some new earrings or gift card, or candy pouch or favor bag for your next party. Took me just under 45 minutes to complete."
