This isn’t a full tutorial, but it’s a great place to get started. If you’d like to purchase either the finished product or the full pattern, stop by her Etsy shop. Scrubbie/dishcloth tutorial by Patti of peacoxcreations
For many years, I have loved using handmade dishcloths and nylon net scrubbies. Finally, it hit me that I could combine them and make the most useful dishcloth ever! For those of you who crochet, this mini-tutorial may give you all the directions you need. The complete pattern and finished dishcloths are also available on my etsy site. You need about 7 yards of nylon netting cut into two inch strips. One purchase of the netting which is 72″ wide will give you many scrubbies. With an “I” crochet hook make a loop. I crochet loosely, so you may want a “J” or “K” hook. Single crochet three rows, increasing as needed to lie flat. It should be about 3″ in diameter. Finish off. You now have a very useful scrubbie as is. If you wish to continue with the dishcloth, see below!
Once you’ve decided to continue with the dishcloth, using the same size hook, crochet a row of single crochet around, using cotton yarn in a variegated color, increasing as needed to stay flat. Then add three rows of double crochet, again, increasing as needed. Then with a solid color, add a row of single crochet, also increasing, and finish with a final row of loops of chain stitches and single crochet. You have produced a scrubbie/dishcloth that can be machine washed and dried that will serve you for a long time, getting dishes ready for the dishwasher, cleaning tables and counters, and doing dishes by hand, getting off stuck on food while not scratching dishes!
