Crochet Flower Scrubbie

I love the scrubbie yarn you can get now and I love flowers so I thought I would combine the two to create this Crochet Flower Scrubbie! This project works up quickly with basic crochet stitches and a small amount of the bulky yarn. I think this would make a great hostess gift with a matching “Two Color Dishcloth” (found here) – It could also be a great co-worker or teacher gift since everyone needs to wash dishes!

Special Scrubbie Yarn

This yarn has just enough texture that it cleans dishes well but not too much texture that it hurts your hands to crochet with it. It comes in beautiful and vibrant colors and does well with getting wet. It even dries quickly and keeps its shape. I found this scrubbie yarn at Hobby Lobby – see the supply list below for the exact name and colors.

**I enjoy working with this yarn so much that I’ve created 2 other scrubbie patterns: The Celtic Knot Scrubbie and the Celtic Rectangle Scrubbie **

Stitches you Need to Know to Make this Crochet Scrubbie:

To make this Crochet Flower Scrubbie you need to know the slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet stitches. You also should know how to work in the round (that means – work in a circle with the Right Side facing at all times). This project also has you working in specific loops of each stitch so that you can easily create the 3D petals in the center and the nice strap on the back. And don’t worry if you get a different number of petals – all flowers are not exactly alike but are still pretty! And your Crochet Flower Scrubbie will clean dishes just fine no matter the number of petals!

Special Stitches and Abbreviations:

Back Loop Only = Insert hk only into the back lp at the top of the stitch

Click here to watch a short video tutorial on this technique

Back Bar of the Chain = When looking at the right side of a chain, you see many “V’s” and the chain looks like a braid. Turn the chain over and you see a series of bumps – it is in these bumps that you will work across the chain to produce a cord with even edges along both sides

Sc (single crochet) = Insert hk into st, YO, draw up a lp, YO, pull through 2 lps on hk

Dc (double crochet) = YO, insert hook into st, YO, draw up a loop, (YO, pull through 2 loops on hook) twice

Sl st (slip stitch) = Insert hook into st, YO, pull through stitch and loop on hook

Hdc (half double crochet) = YO, insert hook into st, YO, draw up a loop, YO, pull through all 3 loops on hook

Notes:

Project is worked in the round

Mark 1^st st of each round with a stitch marker

First a simple circle is crocheted working in the back loop only

Then petals are added to the outer edge and around the inside of the circle (in the unused front loops)

Lastly a small band is crocheted and sewn to the back as a strap

Instructions for the Crochet Flower Scrubbie:

All special stitches are written in bold and italicized text and defined above

**Remember you can purchase a pattern PDF in my Etsy Shop here**

Flower:

Round 1: 

Ch 2; 6 sc in 2^nd ch from hk. Do not join.

Round 2: 

Working in the back loop only, 2 sc in each st around. Do not join. (12 sc)

Round 3: 

Continuing to work in the back loop only, (2 sc in next st, sc in next st) around. Do not join. (18 sc)

Round 4: 

Continuing to work in the back loop only, (Sl st in next st, ch 2, 3 dc in next st, ch 2, sl st in next st) around; sl st in 1^st sl st of round. Fasten off. (6 petals)

Notice how working in the back loops for Rounds 1-3 created a spiral of unused front loops – you’ll be starting the next section in the first unused front loop indicated by the blue arrow – Just follow the spiral as you work to create the 3D petals 

**Remember, if you need help with the inner petals you can watch the video tutorial here – In the video description you can click ahead to Round 5 if you want 🙂**

Inner petals: 

Now working in unused front loops of Rounds 1 – 3 join with sl st to 1^st st of project; (2 hdc, sl st) in same st, sl st in next st;

[(sl st, 2 hdc, sl st) in next st; sl st in next st] 2 times;

(3 dc in next st, sl st in next st) 6 times;

This photo shows you where the last set of petals will go – each of the 6 last petals is pointed to by a blue arrow and is between the outer petals made in Round 4

Now working just in front of large flat petals from Round 4,

*You may need to skip some stitches so that your petals end up in between Round 4’s petals*

 [(sl st, ch 1, 3 hdc, ch 1, sl st) in next st between next 2 petals, sl st in next st in center base of next petal] around 6 times. Fasten off.

Strap:

Ch 10 leaving a long tail at beginning of chain

Row 1: 

Working in the back bar of the chain, sc in 2^nd ch from hk and in each ch across. Turn. (9 sc)

Row 2:
