This scrubby came out of a need for a new one for my kitchen.
I think it works rather well and I really like it.

1 ball Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton*
6 “ wide Tulle* (I used the JoAnn Craft Essentials Tulle Spool,
6” wide in a 20 yard spool)
9 mm crochet hook
Tapestry needle

approx. 4"x4"

not really important for this project.

*Note: I do not recommend using netting. Netting is to stiff and more abrasive than tulle. This pattern uses 2 strands held together, but only 1 ball is needed, so use both ends (the inside and outside) of the cotton.

Holding 2 strands of the cotton together, Ch 17
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in every ch to the end. (16 sc)
Rows 2 & 3: Ch 1, turn, hold tulle on top of row 1, working around the tulle, Sc in each stitch to end of row. (16 sc) Pick up the tulle.
Row 4: Ch 1 with the tulle only and working over the 2 strands of cotton, Sc in each stitch to end of row. (16 sc) Pick up the cotton.
Rows 5 & 6: Ch 1 with the cotton and working over the tulle, Sc in each stitch to end of row. (16 sc) Cut the tulle.
Row 7: Ch 1, Sc in each stitch to end, Finish off.

Edging:

This was another design that was inspired by my beginning class. I made this as an example of what can be done with the 3 most basic of crochet stitches; single crochet, double crochet and the chain stitch.

I originally posted this on my crochet Livejournal and wanted to share it here also. On my journal, someone had commented that this would also make a nice afghan square too.

~Lily’s Sugar and Cream 100% cotton worsted weight
in Cream (A), Light Blue (B) and Delft Blue (C), 1 ball each for tri-colour or
1 ball of Cream for single colour or colours of your choice.
~Size G hook
~tapestry needle

approx. an 8x8 in. square, give or take

gauge really isn’t that important in this project, but mine is 4 sc per inch

Stitches used:
~Chain (ch)
~Slip Stitch (slst)
~Single Crochet (sc)
~Double Crochet (dc)
~X-Stitch (X-st)
~Eyelet Picot (picot)

Special Stitches:
X-Stitch (X-st): Sk next stitch, dc in next stitch, going back to skipped stitch, yarn over, crossing over stitch just made, insert hook in skipped stitch, yarn over, draw through stitch, complete stitch as a dc, X-stitch completed. Repeat as pattern indicates.

Eyelet Picot (picot): sc in stitch indicated in pattern, ch 3, slst into the side of sc just made, eyelet picot completed. (I call it “Eyelet” Picot, because, when completing the picot on top of the sc, the slst made on the side of the sc opens the stitch up creating an “eyelet”.)

NOTE: Instructions are for the 3 colour dishcloth, but it can be made with only 1 or 2 colours. For 1 colour, work the same, just don’t break the yarn at the end of every row. For 2 colours, label colours just as A and B and alternate following the same directions.

With colour A, Ch 27

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across (26 sc)

Row 2: Change to colour B, ch 3 (counts as 1st dc), dc in next sc, ch 1, skip next sc, [dc in next 2 sc, ch 1, skip next sc] 7x’s, dc in last 2 sc (18 dc, 8 ch 1 spaces)

Row 3: Change to colour A, sc in each dc and ch 1 space across
(26 sc)

Row 4: Change to colour C, ch 3 (counts 1st dc), [X-st (see special stitches above) over the next 2 sc] 12x’s, dc in last sc (2 dc, 12 X-stitches)

Row 5: repeat Row 2

Rows 6-19: Repeat rows 2-5, Do Not finish off.
