How to Make Kitchen Scrubbies

The people who make and apply these kitchen scrubbers swear they are better than anything you can buy. Our nylon netting is super popular for these scrubbies. You can also use tulle but the texture of the nylon netting works particularly well. They final a surprisingly long time and can be done on the top rack of your dishwasher.

In that location are many other ways to crochet scrubbies with dissimilar combinations of stitches. You can as well piece of work with a different color for each round. Make some for your friends, your family and yourself. I too hear they sell very well at craft fairs.

Instructions

Step one: Practice with yarn

No prior crocheting experience is need to make this easy scrubby. Since information technology's difficult to see the stitches when using the netting, I'm first going to demonstrate with yarn.

Make a slip knot by creating a ring with the yarn, and then move the yarn behind the circle. Have the crochet claw and pull the yarn through the circle. Tighten the yarn around the hook.

Concord the hook in your right hand. I hold the yarn so it'south going over my index finger and between the alphabetize and heart fingers. People hold the yarn in unlike ways, then do whatever works for you.

It helps to hold the work betwixt your left thumb and middle or index finger.

The first pace is to chain 4. This is the most basic crocheting sew together.

Move the hook to the left of the yarn and go under it and so the yarn is looped around it. This is called a yarn over. Pull the loop through the loop on the crochet hook. Repeat this 3 more times.

To make this chain into a circumvolve, put the hook through the first stitch. Yarn over and pull the yarn through both loops on the claw. This is called a slip stitch. Now you should have a niggling circle.

Next chain 3 similar before.

Yarn over and pull the yarn through the first 2 loops. Yarn over once again and pull it through the remaining two loops. That is one double crochet. Repeat this 10 more times.

You can slide the stitches around the circumvolve if you demand more room. Counting the concatenation three, you should have a total of 12 spokes coming out of the eye circle.

To consummate the round, do a sideslip run up. Put the claw through the top stitch of the chain three. It looks all-time to go through the front and back loops of the stitch and then it will expect like in that location are 3 loops in the hook. Yarn over and pull through all the loops.

Chain iii to start the next round.

We're going to do ii double crochets in each stitch, which will create a total of 24 spokes. Yarn over, so get through the front and dorsum loops of the outset stitch. Subsequently one double crochet is complete, get through the first stitch again to do the second double crochet of the round. Echo until you take 24 double crochets, including the concatenation 3.

Skid stitch through the top chain run up to complete the circular.

This is the second circumvolve I've made, so I'1000 going to leave the concluding loop on the hook. But for the first, cutting the yarn and pull information technology through the terminal loop to finish.

Echo these steps to create some other circumvolve for the other side, which I've already done. On the second circle, get out the last stitch on the hook.

Put the 2 circles dorsum to dorsum.

Push the hook through the front and back loops of the first run up of each of the circles. Yarn over and pull back through the stitches. With two loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through both.

Echo until you lot go back to the starting time. Cut the yarn and pull it through the terminal loop.

You would usually weave in the ends of the yarn, only since this is just practice, I'll leave them.

Step two: Crochet with netting

Time to move on to the nylon netting.

Fold the netting in half several times. Using a rotary cutter and mat, cut the uneven and, and so cut the netting into 2 inch strips. Y'all tin can practise this with scissors, only the rotary cutter is easier. Cut 8 to 10 strips, which is about a 1/2 yard.

Create a slip knot. I find information technology easiest to twist it before knotting.

I'1000 using a size N crochet hook but yous tin become smaller or larger.

How to Make Kitchen Scrubbies - Step 2

Start by chaining 4. Slip stitch to brand a circle, then start the beginning round by chaining 3. Double crochet into the center until there are 12 including the first chain.

Skid run up to finish the round.

The netting is harder to work with and the stitches aren't divers like they are with yarn. It takes a little getting used to and so don't worry if your outset couple look messy and uneven.

When y'all become to the stop of a strip, knot it with another strip. Brand certain the knot is on the dorsum of the work.

Chain three and double crochet two into each stitch. It'south hard to pick out individual stitches, and so you tin but double crochet into the opening betwixt spokes.

How to Make Kitchen Scrubbies - Step 2 How to Make Kitchen Scrubbies - Step 2 How to Make Kitchen Scrubbies - Step 2

Double crochet 23 or 24 depending on if y'all count the chain 3. Sideslip run up to join the circular.

When you lot have two circles, trim all the ends. Since they'll exist on the inside, yous don't have to weave them in.

How to Make Kitchen Scrubbies - Step 2 How to Make Kitchen Scrubbies - Step 2 How to Make Kitchen Scrubbies - Step 2

Place the circles back to back. If one is larger than the other, place the smaller one on height.

Since it's hard to see the stitches, y'all can go through the gaps on the 2d round instead of the actual stitches. Put the hook through the showtime gap on the back and front. Yarn over and pull back through. Yarn once more and pull through the remaining 2 loops on the hook. Work all the way effectually.

Information technology does take a little while to get used to working with netting and to get the tension consistent, but the more than times yous practice information technology, the faster and easier it gets.
