cotton bath lily scrubbie

12 Jan 2008

A took a good long look at my ever-growing yarn stash a few days ago and decided once and for all to do SOMETHING with the odd half-balls of cotton boucle yarn that were leftover from a baby blanket I made a few years back. My old bath scrubbie was getting a little tatty so I set out to make a few more this weekend! Cotton scrubbies are great; they're soft, makes the soap lather rich and foamy, extremely durable (my last one lasted almost 6 months), and best of all, eco/healthy friendly because you just toss them into your weekly laundry wash and they're good as new! No synthetic petrochemical yarns/fabrics that fray and can't be recycled!

I usually make these without a pattern, I just 'go with the hook'...but this time I wrote all the steps down so I can share it. This is my first official attempt to writing a pattern, I figured I would begin with a nice, easy project and see how it goes!

You will need:

  • double knitting weight cotton yarn (I used boucle but dishcloth cotton works great!
  • size 4 crochet hook
  • large sewing needle to weave in loose ends

Work quite loosely when making the bath lily:

Starting Chain - ch 10, join into a ring with a sl st this will be the base of your bath lilly ; ch 45, join into ring with sl st in the same st as before this will be the hanging cord. You will have a chain of stitches at resemble a figure 8.

Round 1 - sc into smaller ring, ch 8; *sc in ring, ch 8*; Repeat from * 35 times; join with sl st to first sc. Do not turn.

Round 2 - sl st into first ch 8 loop, ch 3 (this counts as the first dc), dc 15 times in the same loop; 16 dc in each ch 8 loop all around (35 more times); join with sl st to 3rd ch of beginning ch 3.

Bind off and weave in loose ends.

Now wasn't that simple? You can make one for each member of the family in a single weekend!

OTN this week: Sparkle Wristwarmers

I bought I box of mixed yarn from eBay, there were 3 partially-used balls of black sparkle yarn that won't make anything larger than these half-gloves! Will be posting pics as soon as I'm done!

My mother-n-law Donna loves to crochet. She crochets baby blankets, booties, baby dolls and more. I would love to learn how to do it. She has been teaching me how to do the granny squares pattern for now.
