Crocheted Pot Scrubbies
The texture of these doesn’t really come through on the screen of course but you can get the idea. The are very rough and can be used as pot scrubbers or beauty exfoliators.
I was given one as a give but didn’t receive a pattern. So I have created this pattern and found it works fairly well.
Materials
1/3 yard/ metre of nylon mesh from you local fabric store
Size 5.00mm crochet hook
Scissors
Cut the mesh into 1-1/2" strips. Tie strips together.
Do not join the rounds.
Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook.
2 sc in each of the 6 st. = 12 sc
*1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st* rep from * 6 times = 18 sc
*1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st.* 6 times = 24 sc
*1 sc in each of the next 3 sts., 2 sc in next st.* 6 times = 30 sc
sc in each of the next 30 sts.
*sc in each of the next 3 sts., decrease over the next 2 sts.* 6 times = 24 sc
*sc in each of the next 2 sts., decrease over the next 2 sts.* 6 times = 18 sc
*sc in the next st., decrease over the next 2 sts.* 6 times = 12 sc
* decrease over the next 2 sts.* 6 times = 6 sc
decrease over the next 3 sts, leaving 4 sts. Finish off and pull tails to the inside of the scrubbie.
Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.

Novel uses for the garden hose: Use the hose to rinse heavy articles. Blankets rinsed in this way are saved from wringing and dry without wrinkles, and so no ironing is required. The nap is uncrushed. Also rinse heavy counterpanes this way, and crochet and knitted spreads are especially soft and fluffy. Rug, scrubbed with a stiff brush moistened in diluted ammonia will
look like new. Turn the hose on full force on garden shrubs every few days and all insects will disappear!
