Two-Sided Scrubbie

Two Sided Scrubbie : Copyright: Gail E and Wendy G ; January 15, 2007

 

 

Scrubbies side a

Scrubbies side b

 

 

 

One side is made with nylon yarn and the other side is made with cotton to hold the soap. I have been using mine for years and it really works great on everything I’ve used it for. With this little Scrubbie, there is no need for a pan of water to wash dishes in, just wet the scrubbie with hot water, dribble a little dish soap on the cotton side, squish it together to distribute the soap a bit and start washing. I prefer to use the synthetic side for everything. It does not scratch anything, but gets things clean faster.  They are also great in the bathroom, for bathing and for cleaning.

 

Supplies Needed:

Small amount worsted weight nylon/synthetic yarn.

Small amount worsted weight cotton yarn.

Size H/8 5mm crochet hook

Yarn needle for weaving in ends.

Note: I make sets of 3 scrubbies for gifting or selling. With one 6” and two 3” scrubbies making a set. I use a length of coordinate ribbon, to tie the set together.

 

You may make and sell Scrubbies that you make, because I have a problem with believing that I am the first to discover how to make two crocheted flat round circles and place them back to back~
