You can crochet the heart-shaped wash pads very quickly and easily. They make a perfect heartfelt gift, perhaps together with a nice shower gel.

The lovely plump hearts are ideal for beginners—and for more advanced crocheters who want to crochet something simple and quick in between, because the hearts are crocheted very simply using the amigurumi crochet technique in spiral rounds of single crochet stitches.
