Okay, this is a decrease. You insert the needle into the next stitch and pull up a loop on the needle, then you insert the needle into the next stitch and pull up a loop. Now you have a total of three loops on the hook. Next you grab the working yarn with the hook and draw it through all three loops. This forms the decrease of one stitch. I hope I have explained it so you can understand. I've added a youtube tutorial below to show you how it is done.

You are decreasing -- you yarn over go through one stitch pull through yarn over and pull through second stitch then yarn over pull through all three loops. You have decreased one stitch.

Here is the link so you can see if for yourself. I hope this helps....

I just finished my first scrubby and i don’t know what I did wrong, but when finished with the pattern my opening on the finished side seemed too large. ????
What should I do?
Also, how would it turn out if I didn’t use the crochet thread with it? Thanks!

I really don't know what to tell you. I crochet rather tight, so maybe yours is just looser? You can try to close it up by threading the ending tails through a needle and run it through the remaining 6 stitches and pull to tighten it up. I added the crochet thread to give the scrubby more body and I was working with the vision of a Brillo pad in shape, size and texture. There are many patterns out there that only use the scrubby yarn. I hope this explanation helps you out.
