10-Minute Dish Scrubby – Free Crochet Pattern

10-Minute Scrubby – free crochet pattern by Sharon Frazier

I bought some of this Red Heart Scrubby Yarn and played around with patterns until I found one that I like. I think it works best when the scrubby is two layers thick so you can hold onto it better. This is a super easy pattern, and it only takes 10 minutes to make one!

I made two sizes. Of course I like the small one better and my sweetie likes the bigger one. I made several scrubbies with one skein of yarn. One skein will make 6 small or 4 large scrubbies. Best of all, they dry fast and you just throw them into the washing machine to clean them. I’ve also put them in the dishwasher with equal success.

Hug for Janice Shawl – Free Crochet Pattern

    I wanted to make something beautiful for my Sweetie’s Aunt Janice and thought a shawl would be perfect. She lives in the mountains of Virginia, and even when you’re inside this time of year, you can get chilled.  I also loved the idea of a prayer shawl or comfort shawl. It all begins […]
