Crochet Shower or Dish Scrubbie

Crochet shower or dish scrubbies are not only practical but also a fun and sustainable addition to your kitchen or bathroom. These cute little creations are perfect for gently exfoliating your skin in the shower or tackling tough messes on dishes without scratching them. They are reusable, easy to clean, and add a touch of handmade charm to your daily routine. Plus, by choosing to use crochet scrubbies, you're reducing your environmental footprint by avoiding disposable options. So grab your favorite yarn, crochet hook, and get ready to make your own scrubbies for a clean and eco-conscious lifestyle that's as adorable as it is functional!

Materials Needed

To make one of these (crochet projects) for yourself, you will need the following:

  • 15 yards of red heart scrubby yarn
  • Size1/9/5.50mm hook

Sizing
Each one of these scrubbies, when finished, measures about 4″ across. This makes for a good medium-sized pad that you can do quite a lot with. If you would like to make your scrubby a bit larger or smaller, you can easily do so by using a different size hook or by adding more rows onto your project (you can also leave off a round from the pattern if you’d like your scrubbie to be a little smaller.)

Gauge

11 stitches by 6 rows of Hdc per 4×4” square.

Don’t worry-if you’ve never learned about gauge before and aren’t sure what it means, it’s completely fine to skip right to the directions and just practice making your own pumpkin. Or, you can also read up on gauge here if you decide that it’s time you understood what it’s all about.

Pattern Abbreviations

  • CH – chain (yarn over, pull loop through)
  • BO – make a bobble (dc5, then remove hook from the loop. Carefuly insert hook behind the first dc, pick up the dropped loop, and pull it through. Cinch tight.)
  • HDC – half double crochet(yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, draw up a loop, yarn over, and draw through three loops)
  • SC – single crochet(insert hook, yarn over, draw up a loop, yarn over, and draw through two loops)
  • SS-slip stitch(insert hook, yarn over, draw up a loop through the work and through the loop on your hook)
  • ST/STS – stitch/stitches

Pattern Directions for the Crochet Dish/Shower Scrubbies

Start with a magic circle. Alternatively, you can ch 3 or 4 and ss to create a small hole.
Row 1: ch2(does not count as a stitch). Hdc8 into the magic circle, then ss into the top of the first Hdc to close the round. (8sts)
Row 2: ch2. Hdc2in1 into every stitch. ss into the top of the first Hdc to close the round. (16sts)
Row 3: ch2 *hdc, hdc2in1* repeat for the entire round and ss into the top of the first Hdc to close the round.(24sts).
Row 4: ch2 *hdc2, hdc2in1* repeat for the entire round and ss into the top of the first Hdc to close the round.(32sts).

Row 5: ch2 *hdc3, hdc2in1* repeat for the entire round and ss into the top of the first Hdc to close the round.(40sts).

Hanging loop(optional)

Hanging loop: chain 15 skip a ch, and sc into the 14 remaining chains. Join the end securely at the base of the loop.

Weave in your ends and enjoy your finished project!
