LITTLE SCRUBBIE

Copyright 3/15 to Judith Prindle
Size 7 needles
Worsted weight yarn; I used acrylic, the choice is yours, however.
Gauge is not important.
I had a scrubbie about 3&1/2 inches square before
gathering the edge.
Cast on 2 stitches
(If you don't care to have a hanging loop Start with row 1.)
Work I Cord for about 15 rows.
Row 1; Increase in both stitches.(4 stitches)
Row 2; Knit 1, increase 1, knit to end of row. (5 stitches)
Repeat Row 2 until you have 25-30 stitches.
I had 25 before I began to decrease.
Second half:
Row 1; Knit 1, knit 2 together. Repeat to end of row.
Repeat Row 1 of second half until there are 4 stitches.
Last row before I Cord; Knit 2 together twice. (2 stitches)
(If you aren't doing the hanging loop bind off these 2 stitches)
Work about 15 rows of I Cord. End off....
Take about 12 inches of yarn and thread it through the
out side edge of your scrubbie. Pull tight and secure.
Tie the ends of the I Cord together to form a hanging loop.

Spiral Scrubbie March 2005 (revised 06/24/2009)

© Judith Prindle 3/05(updated 6/24/2009)
You tube video by Donna to explain how to make this scrubbie here!


Link to pictures showing how to put this together(scroll down).


My crochet version is 20 stitches by 22 rows.
I used:
size H crochet hook
worsted weight acrylic yarn (doesn't take much)
Gauge: didn't check but my finished scrubbie is
about 3 & 1/2 across if you squish it flat!
Crochet in the back loop through out to create the ridge.
Row 1:
(leaving a length of yarn long enough to weave
through & gather one edge and tie off.)
chain 21: 2 single crochet in second chain from hook,
crochet one single crochet in each chain across
to last 2 chains; crochet the last 2 chains together
chain 1 and turn (20 stitches)
Row 2:
single crochet first 2 stitches together,
crochet one single crochet in each stitch across to last stitch, 2 single crochet in last stitch
chain 1 and turn (20 stitches)
Row 3:
2 single crochet in first stitch,
crochet one single crochet in each stitch across to last 2 stitches, single crochet last 2 stitches together chain1 and turn (20 stitches).
Repeat rows 2 &3 for a total of 21 rows.
Cut yarn leaving this second end long enough to weave through & gather one edge then tie off.
Slip stitch beginning row and ending row together.
Using the end of yarn weave each end in and out of the ends of the rows of the edge it is attached to. Pull them tight.
Now pull one yarn end through the scrubbie and tie in a tight knot.
Pull both ends back through to the other side and knot again.
I simply pull the end to the inside of the scrubbie and back out, making sure to leave a length of
tail on the inside I cut.
I don't try to weave the ends through the stitches themselves.
I have been using some of my scrubbies since February and no ends have popped out yet.
On my earliest scrubbies I left the yarn tails long enough to crochet a chain to hang them with.
I find I don't use the hanger so I don't do that
any more, but you could!

two sttitches.

Crochet Log Cabin Dishcloth

You need:

a size H crochet hook
Any color combination of worsted cotton that you like.

DISHCLOTH SQUARED

Abreviations:
Ch = chain
dbl = double
sng= single
sl = slip
st = stitch

You Need;
Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn
Size I Crochet Hook

Thing to know.....
Gauge is not applicable, you can make more or fewer, rounds before the trim if you want
your cloth bigger or smaller. than mine.
You will join your rounds with a slip stitch between
the beginning chain 3 and the first double crochet.
All you double crochet stitches will be worked between
the stitches of the previous row through out instead
of in the top like you usually would.

chain 4 and join in ring with a sl st.

Round 1; ch 3, 2 dbl crochet, * ch 3 , 3 dbl crochet;
repeat from * 2 times. ( 12 dbl crochet and 4 chain 3 corners)
Join with a sl st.

Round 2; ch 3 double crochet between next 2 dbl crochet,
2 dbl crochet, ch 3, 2 dbl crochet in corner,
* 1 dbl crochet between next two dbl crochet twice,
2 dbl crochet, ch 3, 2 dbl crochet in corner,
repeat from * 2 times. join.

24 dbl crochet and 4 chain 3 corners.
Repeat round 2 until your cloth is the size you want, making
corners in the chain 3 corner of the round before.
You of course will automatically be working more styitches
each round.

The trim is worked by:
Slip stitch in the top of the beginning chain 3,
sng in same stitch as join, ch 1 sng in top of next dbl
repeat to corner ch 3,
* ch 1, sng, in corner 3 times,
sng in top of each dbl ch 1 repeat across to corner ch 3,
repeat from * 2 times.
When I made my two cloths, for one I turned after each
round and for the other I didn't. Not recalling
exactly where they ended on the trim I can't say that
you will come exactly back to the beginning with thetrim repeats.
If not continue in the maner described and join with a slip
stitch in the first single crochet. Hide ends and you are done.
