Description:
This is a fast and fun little crochet project for use in your kitchen or to give as hostess gifts or as part of matching sets for showers, birthdays, Mother’s Day.

This is a great project to use up little bits of cotton yarn!

Each scrubby is a two-sided, two-color kitchen implement worked in the round: one side is tulle (soft nylon netting); the other side is comprised of two colors of cotton yarn. The tulle side is effective for scrubbing stubborn food residue without scratching while the cotton side is gentle on hands when in use.

The two sides are worked independently, then placed back to back and joined with a simple edging. The completed size measures about 3.25 to 3.5 inches (about 8.5 to 9 mm).

The how-to for making tulle strips for crocheting is provided in the instructions. You can see a spool of 6” tulle in the last photo. The tulle is cut in half to use as tulle “yarn” for this project.

Use and gifts:
Use scrubbies to scour your dishes, pots, pans and even vegetables. A scrubby is also a great little add-on gift to include with a kitchen set: match a scrubby to a potholder, dish cloth and/or towel holder for a perfect kitchen shower gift or as a practical birthday or Mother’s Day handcrafted gift.
