Crochet Scrubby - Free Pattern
Crocheted washcloths are a timeless piece.
I remember my grandmother making washcloths by the dozen. As soon as she would get one made, someone would come along and scoop it up.
I myself, have made many different washcloths and scrubbies and have never been left with one to spare.
I was wandering through the yarn isles at Michaels the other day (always a dangerous idea), when I spotted scrubby yarn.

| Love this Scrubby Yarn |
I stopped dead in my tracks and did a double take. WHAT?! Scrubby yarn! YES PLEASE!
I had no idea what I was going to do with the scrubby yarn, but I NEEDED it!
Later that evening, I was trying to decide what kind of scrubby I wanted to make with my new scrubby yarn.
I like using scrubbies for tough to wash dishes and washcloths for the rest. Too bad I couldn't get an all-in-one washcloth and scrubby combo...…..Wait a minute, I'm the maker, I can make an all-in-one washcloth and scrubby combo.
For my all-in-one washcloth and scrubby design I wanted it to look cute as well as functional. So I decided on flowers. The petals of the flowers have an added bonus of being used to get into the hard to wash spaces.
I absolutely love the way that these turned out and have been using mine everyday.

Free Pattern for Too Cute All-In-One Washcloth and Scrubby
START with SCRUBBY yarn **Note for the scrubby yarn** working with this yarn is a little hard to see the stitches sometimes so I always use a stitch marker at the beginning of the round so I know where to join.
Begin with a MR
Round 1: DC times 10 into MR and pull tight to form a circle. Join with a sl st. (10 sts)
Round 2: Ch 2, (2 DC) into each stitch all the way around. Join with a sl st. (20 sts)
Round 3: Ch 2 *2 DC, 1 DC* repeat from between the * all the way around. Join with a sl st (30 sts)
Cut yarn, leaving a small tail for weaving into your work.
CHANGE to Cotton Yarn
Begin with a MR
Round 1: DC times 10 into MR and pull tight to form a circle. Join with a sl st. (10 sts)
Round 2: Ch 2, (2 DC) into each stitch all the way around. Join with a sl st. (20 sts)
