Practical Dish Scrubbies for Every Household.
Skill | Intermediate

Introduction
About this Pattern
If you’re tired of buying kitchen sponges and brushes, this is the perfect pattern for you! I made the switch to crochet scrubbies and haven’t looked back. They’re so much more economical and affordable than a regular kitchen sponge.
You may find this project challenging because Scrubby yarn is more difficult to work with than smooth yarns. The quality that turns it into an amazing pot scrubby also makes it difficult to see and count your stitches. Don’t let that keep you from giving this crochet scrubby set a try!
Before you begin, review this page entirely so you understand the full scope of the project. We’ve prepared a list of recommended supplies and abbreviations you will need to get started as well as a video tutorial demonstrating how to crochet the pot scrubby and scrubby cloth as well as written instructions for both.
You will find the full pattern for free here on this page.
However, B.Hooked Insiders will have online access to all B.Hooked patterns ad-free, including weekly office hours for pattern support.
B.Hooked Insider will launch later in 2020!

Finished Size
Pot scrubby: 4″ diameter
Scrubby cloth: 6″ diameter
Gauge
Use first 4 rounds of scrubby cloth to measure gauge. Approximately 4″.
This pattern and tutorial begins with the pot scrubby. The pot scrubby method uses a clever way of stitching to help with the lack of stitch visibility.
The second part of the tutorial covers the scrubby cloth. You will need to work into stitches and count as you go, but the pattern is simple and easy to follow. The chain 3 at the beginning of each round counts as a dc.

Written Instructions
Pot Scrubby
Round 1: Ch 22. Join with a slst to the first chain to form a ring. Ch 3. Make 25 dc around the foundation chain (don’t attempt to work into the chains). Do not join, continue with next round.
Round 2: Fpdc first dc. Fpdc every st. Do not join at end of the round.
Repeat
Continue working a fpdc for every st in a spiral fashion until your work measures approximately 4″ tall from starting edge. Fasten off leaving a 6″ tail.
Assembly
For the top and bottom of the scrubby, weave the tail in and out of each stitch in the round. Pull the tail to draw up the closure.
Flatten the scrubby with the drawn up ends in the center of the scrubby. Thread one tail through the center of the scrubby and tie it off with the other end. Trim the tails and you’re done!
