Double Sided Flower Dish Scrubby Pattern


Materials
100% Cotton Yarn
Nylon Netting (2" strip approx. 7 yds.)
J Hook
G Hook
Yarn Needle



For Nylon Scrubby (make first):
With larger hook and your long strip of nylon netting, ch 4 and join to make loop.
RND 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc) and dc 11Xs around (for 12 dc). Join with slip stitch in top of ch 3.

RND 2: Ch 3 (Counts as first dc) dc in same space, 2 dc in each space between dcs of rnd 1 (24 dc). End off, no tail required.

For Flower:
Using smaller hook and cotton yarn, chain 3 and join in first chain to make foundation loop.

Rnd 1:
Ch 2 (count as first sc), sc 7 times in center of loop, join in top of ch2 (8 sc).



Rnd 2: ch 2, sc in same stitch, 2 sc in each stitch around (16 total).




Rnd 3: ch 4, *skip 1 sc, sc in next sc (I go through both back and front part of the stitch), ch 3* Repeat from * around ending with a ch 3 which you will join with a slip stitch in the 2nd ch from the first ch 4. (you should have 8 loopies for your petals).



Rnd 4: in each loop around: sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc






Rnd 5: fold petals forward, 2 slip stitches down back to get to the base of the petals (rnd 2). sc in middle stitch (this is the one you skipped in between your ch 3s in rnd 3), and ch 3, then sc in the middle stitch of the next base, repeat around, joining your last ch 3 into the firs sc you did for this round. (You should have 8 new loopies for the back row of flower petals).

*here is how I slip down the back


*here is the view of the stitch I am going through from both the front and back of the flower:

*and here is the back side of the flower once all the loops made in this round are completed:


Rnd 6: in each petal loop around, sc, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc,sc (8 times). Slip stitch in the sc of the first petal. Don't cut or bind off!




NOW you are going to sc around the perimeter of your nylon scrubby circle (24 sc.) When you are done with that, tie off leaving a tail long enough to sew the two together



using yarn needle and working along the crocheted perimeter of the nylon, sew the two pieces together, end off and weave in ends.


And there you have it: cute and functional dish scrubby!
