  • 1 yd. Nylon Netting (makes 2 scrubbies)

TOOLS:

  • Crochet Hook - size I or J
  • Scissors
  • Spring Clothespins
  • Yardstick or ruler

DIRECTIONS

Preparing the netting:
Keep the netting folder in the layers like it came off the bolt*.  From one end, measure 5 in. and fold over.  Continue to roll over in 5 in. sections until you have the whole length of netting in a roll.  Align and keep the folded edge of the netting even.  Place a few clothespins on the folded and selvage ends of netting.

Trim off the folded edge, cutting as close to the edge as possible.  Measure and cut the rolled netting into 2 in. strips.  Unfold the netting strips and join them into one long length by tying the ends together.
*Cutting the net on the fold of the bolt prevents it from tearing.

Crocheting:
Row 1:  Loosely Chain 4.  Join in the first Chain to make a ring.
Chain 3 and Double Crochet in the ring 13 more stitches (total 14 stitches).  Slip stitch to join.

Row 2:  Chain 3 and make 1 Double Crochet in the same stitch.
Double Crochet 2 in each of the remaining stitches (total 28 stitches).
Slip stitch to join.

Row 3:  Chain 3, Double Crochet 1 in the next stitch and the remaining stitches (total 28 stitches).
Slip stitch to join.

Row 4:  Chain 3, skip 1 stitch and Double Crochet 1 in every other stitch (total 14 stitches).  Slip stitch to join.
NOTE: Will start to curl.  Reverse so outside shows the nice stitching.

Row 5:  Chain 3 and repeat Row 4.  Join and tie into scrubby to hide ends.
