How to crochet the Easy Dish Scrubby
Step 1: Make double crochet circle
Follow the instructions below:
Make MR (or ch3 and Sl st into the 1st chain to create a ring instead).
Round 1: ch3 (following rounds starts with ch3 which is counted as 1st dc in a round), dc11 in the ring, Sl st at the beginning ch3 [12 dc]
Round 2: ch3, dc1 in the same st, 2dc worked into each st of the round 1, Sl st at the beginning of a round [24 dc]
Round 3: ch3, *(inc, dc) – repeat from * around, Sl st at the beginning of the round [36dc]
Round 4: ch3, dc into the next st, inc, repeat (2 dc, inc) around, Sl st into the beginning ch3 [48dc]
Wave in the ends and cut the yarn.
Step 2: Crochet the next circle with a hanger
Using the instruction form the step 1, repeat from the Round 1 to Round 4 to crochet the next circle. After Round 4, ch10 and Sl st into the beginning ch3.
Step 3: Join the circles
Place the circles together and join the edges by a single crochet join. Stop before the last 4 stitches and turn to the other side. Next, finish the join to the last stitches. Fasten off and weave in the ends
Turning to the other side will make your dish scrubber looks stuffed and fluffy. You may finish joining the edges without turing to the other side, if you want you scrubber be flat.
