Wisdom Preserved’s Favorite Dish Scrubby

Make my favorite dish scrubby.

YARN: 100% Nylon. I used Yarn Bee Scrub-Ology Scrub It Yarn

CROCHET HOOK: Size H / 5.00M

This dish scrubby is doubled and tightly crocheted for industrial cleaning strength and durability. I’ve been shocked how hard I am on these scrubbies and they just keep going!

They can be washed by throwing them in the washing machine … get this … or the DISHWASHER!

No joke, I literally have a bucket full of these under my sink and I just grab and scrub. Not just my dishes either, I use them to scrub my bathtub, shower, glass top stove, oven, fridge, and sticky floors after a day of canning.

When they start to get a little worn or I feel like changing one out I throw it into the car cleaning bucket and at this point it is perfect for tires, bug splattered mirrors, grills, bumpers, and front license plates.

This is seriously my favorite dish scrubby!

No matter what your crocheting abilities are this pattern will work for you.

Scrubby Pattern:

MAKE 2

Foundation Row: Begin with the magic circle and secure it with 1 slst

Round 1: 1 lltr, 14 tr in magic ring. Sl st into the top of the 1st tr. (15 sts)

Note: Your first tr should be a long loop treble crochet (lltr).

Round 2: Starting in the first st, 1 llhdc, 1 hdc. In the next stitch * 2 hdc, Repeat * 13 times. Sl st into first st. (30 sts)

Tie off the first scrubby, but do not tie off the second.

Round 3: Holding both scrubby rounds with wrong sides together sc in the first st, * sc in the previous st. Repeat around. Then sl st into the top of the 1st hdc.

Tie off.

Weave in your end.

You are crocheting backwards on the final round in a crab stitch. Also, Be sure to crochet over the tail of the tied off scrubby so you do not have to weave in one of the ends.
