How to crochet flowers with scrubbie yarn that are excellent as dish scrubbies, face scrubbies and body scrubbies, but you can use them for a variety of projects too if you want to use them as appliques or join them together.

Materials:

• 24 Yards of a Worsted Weight #4 Cotton Yarn and Scrubbie Yarn - I used WeCrochet Dishie in the Bumblebee and Azure color- ways paired together with Lion Brand Stitch Soak Scrub in the Cyber Yellow and Turquoise colorways; 6 Yards of each of the 2 for the center of my flowers, and 6 Yards of each of the 2 for the Petals
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives to Dishie: Circulo Natural Cotton Maxcolor 4/6, Queensland Coastal Cotton

For scrubbing purposes, if you choose to combine a yarn with the scrubbie yarn, you’ll want to use a cotton yarn. If you decide to use these flowers decoratively made with scrubbie yarn, you can easily combine it with any yarn out of your stash - these flowers would make nice appliques or string them up for a garland.

Gauge is not essential for this project so you can easily substitute another weight yarn that might be in your stash, such as a Lightweight #3 Yarn like Queensland Coastal Cotton Fine or Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK.

Weaving in ends of a tough yarn can be hard on the fingers. Sore thumbs and frustration can be a thing of the past by simply using jewelry pliers to carefully help pull the tapestry needle through the work.

Time Spent:
Just over 15 minutes per flower.

Measurements:
Sizes range depending on the yarn/combination you’re using but they range from about 3 7/8” tall - 4 1/4” tall. Width is a little smaller. I provide the measurements from my samples in the written pattern.

Gauge - Not Essential:
Diameter taken after Round 2 with WeCrochet Dishie only: 2 1/2”

Abbreviations (US Terms):

• HDC - Half Double Crochet
• DC - Double Crochet
• SC - Single Crochet
