Scrubbles
Copyright © by Susan Mrenna 2008 Knit A Little
Cast on twenty stitches with acrylic yarn and size 7 needles (these are for scrubbing
and rather thick so the acrylic is the better
fiber choice as cotton would never get dry)
Knit in the front and back of each stitch to
make forty stitches.
Knit using desired stitch pattern till piece is
four inches long.
Knit two stitches together across to make
twenty stitches.
Cut yarn, leaving a good twelve inches of
tail.
Thread a needle with the tail and pass it
through all twenty stitches on the knitting
needle. Cinch it up tight. I make a knot here
so the cinched stitches don't slip.
Still using the tail yarn, sew up the side seam.
I then tie a knot to the cast on tail.
thread the needle and yarn through the cast
on stitches and pull up tight.
Tie to cast on
tail again.
Poke needle all the way through the middle
till it comes out the other side.
Move it over a
stitch or so and thread it back to the side it
started on.
Tie it again to the cast on tail and
weave in both ends.
This makes a round scrubble about four
inches across for scrubbing up the stuck on
stuff on your dishes. It is not a washcloth and
is not meant to be absorbent.
The Scrubbles on top was made doing garter
stitch.
The Scrubbles on the bottom is k1, k2tog, yo
across, ending k1.
