Introduction
Welcome to Epic Yarn Jump! In this tutorial, we will be making a kitchen scrubbie using the yarn V Scrub Ology Scrub in the color of lime. This is a quick and easy project that is perfect for beginners. Let's get started!
Materials Needed
Before we begin, make sure you have the following materials:
- Yarn V Scrub Ology Scrub in lime color
- J hook
Making the Magic Circle
To start, we will create a magic circle. Wrap the yarn around your fingers to make an X. Go underneath the first strand and pull up the second, giving it a little twist. Chain two and do a double crochet in the center of the circle. Repeat this eight times and finish with a slip stitch join.
Creating the First Round
For the next round, chain two (this does not count as a stitch) and do two double crochets in each stitch, starting with the first stitch of the previous round. Repeat this pattern until you have 16 double crochets and finish with a slip stitch join.
Adding Height to the Scrubbie
In the next round, chain two and do a double crochet in the first stitch, followed by two double crochets in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around to have a total of 24 stitches. Finish with a slip stitch join.
Making the Scrubbie Thicker
To make the scrubbie thicker, we will do a half double crochet in the front loop only. Yarn over, go into the front loop of the stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, and yarn over again to pull through all three loops. Repeat this in each stitch to have a total of 24 stitches. Finish with a slip stitch join.
Adding Single Crochets
In this next round, do a row of single crochets. Start with a chain 2 (or chain 1 if you prefer), then go into each stitch from the previous round, going under the V of the stitch. Yarn over, pull up a loop, and pull through the two loops. Repeat this in each stitch to have 24 single crochets. Finish with a slip stitch join.
Reducing the Size
Now that we have the desired size, it's time to reduce the stitches. Start with a chain 2 and decrease the stitches by taking two stitches and making them into one stitch. Repeat this pattern until you have 12 stitches. Finish with a slip stitch join.
Final Reductions
Continue reducing the stitches in the next round by following the same pattern as the previous round. This time, you'll have a total of 6 stitches. Finish with a slip stitch join.
Finishing Touches
To complete the scrubbie, tie off your yarn and weave in any loose ends. This can be done with a yarn needle by weaving the ends into the circle and securing them. Take the needle through the center of the hole to tie off the ends with the yarn from the magic circle.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You've successfully made a kitchen scrubbie using the V Scrub Ology Scrub yarn. This project is a great way to practice your crochet skills and create something practical for your home. We hope you enjoyed this tutorial and have fun using your new scrubbie!
