Product Description
I created this pattern to increase my "Green Living" line. I have a strong dislike for sponges. They just creep me out, blah, all those germs, and all that mildew just from sitting overnight, Yuck! So to solve this issue I started making my own scrubbies. When Hobby Lobby came out with their Scrubology line I was so excited that I could get a semi absorbant scrubbie and I can reuse them! When they get dirty (at the end of the day; 'cough') just throw them in the laundry and wash them! And they are Awesome, and husband approved!
If you do not have access to the recomended yarn, you can absolutely combine your favorite absorbant yarn and scrubby yarn together to get the same effect. Worked from the center beginning with a magic circle then out 3 rounds. I give instructions for the more difficult stitches. They can be used anywhere, not just the kitchen!
Kitchen Scrubbies by Knottie Hooks
What You'll Make
Kitchen Scrubbies are practical, reusable crocheted dishcloths designed to replace disposable sponges and scrubbers. A single skein of yarn produces approximately 7-8 individual scrubbies, each measuring between 3.5" to 4" in diameter when completed. These versatile scrubbies work effectively in the kitchen and throughout the home for various cleaning tasks.
Design Benefits and Materials
The Kitchen Scrubbies pattern utilizes Hobby Lobby's Scrub-ology Scrub It! Yarn, a specialized chunky-weight yarn engineered specifically for scrubbing applications. This yarn features a unique construction with an absorbent inner filling combined with an outer lining of 100% rough nylon. This combination creates a scrubby that performs like traditional sponge scrubbers while offering the advantage of being machine washable and reusable, helping reduce waste and household expenses over time.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches
The Kitchen Scrubbies pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for crafters of various skill levels. The primary technique featured in this design is the Magic Circle, a method for starting projects in the round without creating a visible hole in the center.
Magic Circle Technique: This stitch begins by holding the yarn tail between your thumb and index finger, then wrapping the yarn clockwise around all four fingers one and a half times while securing with your pinky. You insert the hook under the first wrap, then over the second wrap, creating the foundation for working in circular rounds.
Tools and Materials Required
- Hook: 4.5 mm crochet hook
- Yarn: 1 skein of Hobby Lobby Scrub-ology Scrub It! Yarn (chunky weight)
