How to Make a Scrubby with Red Heart Yarn

Are you looking for a fun and practical project to try with your red heart yarn? Look no further! In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating a scrubby using the pattern from Red Heart Yarn. This scrubby is not only great for washing dishes but also makes a thoughtful gift for your loved ones. So, let's gather our materials and get started!

Materials Needed

Before we dive into the step-by-step instructions, make sure you have the following materials ready:

• Red Heart yarn (or any similar scrubby yarn)
• Crochet hook (size 9)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Now that we have everything we need, let's begin by creating the foundation of our scrubby.

Step 1: Creating the Foundation

1. Start by chaining 4. This will serve as the starting point for our scrubby.
2. Slip stitch in the beginning chain to create a ring. This will form the center of our scrubby.

Step 2: Forming the Circle

1. Row 1: Chain 3, which will count as a double crochet. In the same stitch, work 11 double crochet to form a circle. Slip stitch in the top of the chain 3 to complete the round.
2. Row 2: Increase the number of double crochet stitches by working 2 double crochet in each stitch around. This will give us a total of 24 stitches. Slip stitch at the end of the round.

Step 3: Building the Scrubber

1. Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet). In the same stitch, work 1 double crochet. Skip the next stitch, then work 2 double crochet in the following stitch. Repeat this pattern around. Slip stitch in the beginning chain to complete the round.
2. Round 2: Repeat Round 1. This will give us a total of 48 stitches.

Continue working in this pattern, following the instructions from Round 1, until your scrubby reaches the desired size. The unique texture of the yarn will make it perfect for scrubbing.

Step 4: Finishing Touches

1. Chain 1 and slip stitch in the same stitch. Skip the next stitch, then work 5 double crochet in the following stitch. This will create a decorative edging for our scrubby.
2. Repeat the pattern of skipping stitches and working 5 double crochet until you reach the end of the round. Slip stitch in the first stitch to complete the round.
3. Finally, chain 10 to create a hanging loop for your scrubby. Slip stitch in the beginning stitch and fasten off the yarn. Trim any excess yarn with scissors.

And there you have it! Your handmade scrubby is now ready to be used or gifted. Enjoy the satisfaction of creating something functional and beautiful with your red heart yarn.
