INTRODUCTION
Is it really summer without a juicy slice of watermelon? Whether you’re out on a picnic or cooling off after a swim, watermelon is a classic summer treat!

That’s why I just had to create a Watermelon Wedge Scrub! This fun and simple project is knit flat with easy decreases, no pesky wrap-and-turns, or tricky short rows needed. It’s a quick knit that brings a sweet summer vibe to your kitchen or bath.

Feel free to make this scrubby for yourself, as a gift, or even to sell. If you do sell your finished pieces, please credit me for the pattern.

Happy knitting!
