An elderly lady tried to teach me to make scrubbies but I just couldn't learn from her directions.

I've searched the web and not found what I was looking for. So here is the challenge KPers.

From what I remember the scrubbies are circular, two sided all single crochet stitches made in a spiral increasing then decreasing. I'm thinking the single crochet stitches were made in the back of the stitch (but not certain).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Found this in the search section.

Scrubby pattern
Tulle or nylon net
J hook
Ch 4
Row 1Sl st to form ring ch 1
Row 2 10 sc in ring sl st to first sc ch 1
Row 3 2 sc in each sc , sl st to first sc, ch 1
Row 4 1 sc in each sc increase as needed to keep piece flat sl st to first sc ch 1
Row 5 cont with row 4 until it is as big as you want.

I hope this makes sense you are just making a circle.

Are you crocheting with edge of the tulle?

Cut the tulle into thin strips and crochet with them

Yes, the joy and thriftiness of creating but...in discount stores, you can buy them for $1.00!

I use nylon net (it is a bit coarser than tulle), cut it into 2" strips and then either crochet or knit a scrubbie. Basically, if I'm crocheting, I make a ball and stuff the ends of the strips into the middle to "poof" it out. You can get imaginative mixing colors together doing this. If I knit I use about size 10(US) needles and knit a 3"x3" square. I also combine colors and basically just knit whatever I want to get the shape. personally, I prefer the flat knitted piece about 3"x2". Either technique takes a lot of abuse and last quite awhile.

Well, you can say the same thing about everything we knit or crochet!! You can buy just about everything any of us makes cheaper then we spend in yarn and time to make them! Sometimes it's just fun to make things no matter what they are. :lol:

You are so right and I do that all the time! What was I thinking? :roll:

I have made the circular scrubbies. Lately though I am making knit scrubbies by cutting 3" strips of nylon netting and using a size 10-1/2 needles I cast on 18 and knit 18 rows. These are really sturdy and work great!

I am lazy... Rather than buy tulle by the yard and cut in strips, I purchase tulle on a roll (like ribbon) and just crochet. Works well.

 

[jpfries]

here is the detailed instructions for the circular scrubbies
buy 2 yds of netting(mine was 72# wide)
cut in 3" strips( 72 " long) thus makes 24 strips
6 or 7 mm crochet hook (size is not too important) use what you feel comfortable with.
Tie 6 strips together leaving a 5" tail on each join
chain 5, join to make a ring
2 sc in each chain( back of loop only) until you reach the second knot.Leave tails hang loose in behind
Then continue around with
1 sc in each around until you reach the last knot.
Turn inside out, stuff tails in, then sc in every second sc till closed. Tie off, stuff all ends in and secure closed.

OK those are the correct directions. Here are my hints.
lay the tulle/netting flat and after folding I use pinch paper clips to hold it together. It slips easily and makes cutting a challenge. ( clothes pins work also)

I tie the ends together and poke the knots to the inside for bulk.

And you can get as fancy as you want. I don't think I ever edged mine. Just make them to size and end.

And it is very rough on your hands. So you won;t make many at one time. The tulle/netting is very abrasive. But they are cute and everyone always wants another one from you.

A few of these are knitted ones and the other are crocheted. You can also type in google search crochet scrubbies and a bunch of web sites will come up

 

[MaryE-B]

If you go to Ravelry and type in scrubby, you will have your choice of patterns. If you want only crocheted, select crochet as the craft you want patterns in.

 

[pets2knit]

I found a pattern, it takes 3 yards of tulle and cotton yarn, knit or crochet on size 9 needles,take your tulle & cotton & knit them to together and make a regular wash rag with it.
and there is your scrubby.
