Spring Flower Scrubby

One thing I love about crochet, how easy it is to add a fun and joyous spin to one of my most dreaded chores – dishes.

Several years ago I started making my own dish scrubbies, and I haven’t turned back. I love how fun they are to make, how easy they are to make, and how much personality they bring to my kitchen. They also make wonderful gifts. I always see one of my scrubbies at my Dad’s kitchen sink, so he finds them just as wonderful at cleaning dishes as I do.

With this pattern you can choose how much scrubby texture you prefer to crochet with, or none at all. The scrubby yarn does make it more difficult to see your stitches, but the effort is so very much worth the effort – at least in my opinion.
