Crochet a Pot Scrubbie

Waste not, want not.  Recycle.  You can make a pot scrubbie using one of those nylon net type bags that frozen pops come in and left over cotton yarn.  With this pattern you will NOT have to cut the nylon bag into strips.  You will use it as is.

Materials:

1 long nylon bag (remove any labels)

Small amount of left over worsted weight cotton yarn

G hook

yarn needle

Start with a magic circle making sure you leave a long tail.  Chain one in the circle.  Then do 13 SC in the circle.  Pull the long tail tight.  Join with a sl st in the beginning chain one.

Chain 3.  1 DC in same stitch, chain 2.  2 DC in next stitch, chain 2.  Repeat 2 DC, chain 2 around.  Close with a slip stitch in top of chain 3.

Chain 3.  1 DC in same stitch.  Chain 2, 1 DC in next chain 2 space.  Repeat chain2, 1 DC in next chain 2 space around.  Close with a slip stitch in top of chain 3.  Fasten off.

Scrunch up your nylon bag, lengthwise.  Begin weaving the bag through the second round and finish up on the third round.   Make sure your bag ends are on the back of the scrubbie.

With the back facing you, thread your beginning tail end yarn in your yarn needle.  Weave it back and forth through the nylon AND  through your beginning cotton stitches.  Do this several times or more than several times.  Secure the yarn tightly.  Trim the yarn and trim the nylon.

With your ending tail end yarn, weave through the remaining nylon and the back on the scrubbie several times.  Well, more than several.  Secure the yarn and trim close.  Then trim the nylon.

It doesn’t matter if this is perfect or not.  Believe me your pots and dishes will not care.

Your finished scrubbie will look like this:

Have fun!
