I made a couple of these Loofah's for inclusion in my holiday crafting this year. They're so easy to make and are such a great gift!

Materials:
Size H, I or J Hook
A cotton/acrylic blend of yarn. (You can also just use cotton, I do not recommend using straight acrylic yarn however)

Instructions:
ch 4, form a ring by joining with a sl st in first st
ch 40
sl st into center of ring (this forms the loop for hanging the loofah)
R1: ch2, dc 40 into center of ring, join with sl st
R2: ch2, dc 3 in each st around, join with sl st
R3: ch2, dc 3 in each st around, join with sl st
R4: ch2, dc 3 in each st around, join with sl st
Bind off. Weave in ends.
You can play around with the thickness of the loofah here too, by in the last row, working 2dc, then 3dc around instead. It will give it a more ruffly texture and be a little looser.
