MATERIALS

SUPPLIES:

  • 6 yd. nylon net - Master color
  • 6 yd. nylon net - Contrasting color

(dark and light pinks were used for the model)

TOOLS:

  • Size J or K crochet hook
  • Scissors or Rotary cutter and mat
  • Ruler
  • Optional: Needle and thread to match contrasting color net

DIRECTIONS

Cut nylon net into lengthwise strips each 3 in. wide (you will have a total of 24 strips each, 6-yd. long and 3 in. wide).  If you prefer a stiffer scrubbie, cut the net into strips 4 in. wide.

CENTER:
Make a beginning ring with the main color net Ch 4, slip stitch into first stitch to form a ring.

ROUND 1:
Ch 4 (count as first dc, now and throughout), then 19 dc in ring for a total of 20 dc, slip stitch to close and bind off.

PETALS:
Attach contrasting color to the center piece.
Sc, dc in first stitch
2 dc in next stitch
dc, sc in next stitch
slip stitch in next stitch (petal completed)
Repeat 4 more times and bind off.

CENTER VARIATION:
Ch 5, slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Ch 4 (count as first dc), 3 dc in first stitch.
3. 4 dc in each remaining stitch. (You will have a total of 20 dc.)  Slip stitch together and bind off.  Optional - use a small piece of the contrasting net and whipstitch into the circle for added interest.
Work the petals as for the original version.

NOTE:
Hide your net ends by crocheting over them to secure.  You can also weave the ends into your work to keep them from becoming loose.  You might want to take a few stitches with needle and thread as extra insurance.
