Crochet scrubbies with scrubby yarn use a specialty netting-style polyester yarn that has a built-in textured, slightly abrasive surface, ideal for dish scrubbing without needing a separate scouring pad. I keep a small stack in rotation by my kitchen sink, since they hold up far better than a store-bought sponge. This guide gives a quick pattern.
Pattern Instructions
- Chain 2, work 6 sc into the second chain from the hook, closing the ring.
- Increase each round following a standard circle count until the piece reaches about 4 inches across.
- Fasten off, leaving a small loop for hanging if desired.
