How to crochet a clementine scrubby is easy. The scrubby is so cute, and is fun in the kitchen or bath. Your family will happily help you clean and scrub when you hand them one of these cuties. The free crochet pattern is below, or you can purchase an ad free pdf at RAVELRY or ETSY.
The journey making scrubbies started last year when I crocheted a lemon dishcloth using cotton dishcloth yarn.
Then my friend asked me if I had ever used Red Heart Scrubby Sparkle yarn. I replied with “No, I don’t think I want to use that.” A few days later the lightbulb came on. After a trip to the store to grab yellow and green scrubby sparkle yarn, lemon scrubbies came off my hook.
Hey! Get on my email list so that you never miss what’s happening on my side of the mountain.
I do have a few other scrubby crochet patterns here on the blog.
The Pumpkin Scrubby was designed last fall. The Christmas Tree and Christmas Ornament is a scrubby/dishcloth. They have scrubby elements and dishcloth elements. This past spring the Heart Scrubby and the Shamrock Scrubby came off my hook. I am pretty sure this won’t be the end of my “Scrubby Designing Journey”, as I am having a blast creating them.
Below is a video to help you along on your journey to make Clementine Scrubbies.
