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.
getting started
Recommended Supplies
- 1 Skein Red Heart Scrubby, Scrubby Sparkle or Scrubby Cotton
- 5.5 mm Crochet Hook

FAQ: Can I use a different yarn?
Sure, as long as it’s in the same weight category. Check your gauge and adjust as needed so the sizing comes out right. The recommended yarn amount will likely be different too.

Additional Notes
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.
