Crochet Scrubber Dishcloth 2 in 1 Tutorial
Materials:
- 6 mm J Hook
- Loops and Threads Everyday Cotton in Patriot Ombre
- Loops and Threads Squeaky Clean
- Red Heart Scrubby Sparkle Yarn in White
- Note: The cotton yarn comes in balls that are 95 Y/2 oz. It's about enough to make three cloths per two balls.
Pattern:
Foundation Row:
- Make a slip knot and chain 33 stitches with the Everyday Cotton yarn.
Row 1:
- Double crochet into the fourth chain from the hook (the first three chains count as the first double crochet).
- Continue double crocheting across for a total of 31 double crochets (including the chain 3 as the first double crochet).
Row 2:
- Chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet here and throughout), turn.
- Alternate front post double crochet and back post double crochet across the row until the final stitch.
- Double crochet in the top of the turning chain from the previous row.
For Row 3-4:
- Repeat Row 2.
Row 5:
- With the Scrubby Sparkle Yarn, repeat Row 2.
Row 6:
- Repeat Row 5.
For Row 7-14:
- Switch back to the cotton yarn and repeat Row 2 for eight more rows.
Finishing:
- Cut your yarn, leaving a tail to weave in.
- Weave in all ends.
- Measure your cloth - it should be approximately 9x8 inches.
Additional Tips:
- These cloths make excellent gifts. Consider pairing them in sets and wrapping them with a simple ribbon or yarn for a beautiful presentation.
- For any color changes or adding new yarn, perform the last yarn over of the last stitch with the new color to create a seamless transition.
- Secure all ends by weaving them into your work with a needle to ensure durability.
