12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop CAL – Week 12 Free Pattern

Welcome to Week 12 

Brought to you by Red Heart Scrubby

It’s hard to believe that this is the 12th and final week of our Christmas Crochet Along. We hope you’ve had fun joining us each week for a new project and that you’ve had an opportunity to try some of them out. Don’t forget to join us for the grand-prize giveaway too!

*****

This week’s Holiday Scrubbies pattern was inspired by Red Heart Scrubby yarn. When I first got this yarn, I worried that it would be difficult to work with because of the loopy nature of the yarn. I’m happy to say that my concerns were unfounded! The yarn is fun to crochet AND knit with. You can also work it with a strand of Creme de la Creme cotton for a thicker and more absorbent dishcloth. The dishcloths do a great job on messy dishes and these work great as washcloths for exfoliating too!

Materials:
Red Heart Scrubby – I used 1 skein of Red, Gold, Blue, Green and White and had enough for all the scrubbies and left overs to make several more.

Hook/Gauge: Hook US H (5.00mm); gauge not important

Abbreviations:
beg: beginning
BLO: back loop only
BPtr: back post treble crochet
ch(s): chain(s)
dc: double crochet

hdc: half double crochet
sc: single crochet
sl st: slip stitch
st(s): stitch(es)

VSt: V stitch= (dc, ch1, dc) in same stitch

Size: 8 -9 “

Notes:

• Work over loose ends as this yarn is difficult to weave ends.
• Ch1 at beginning of row does NOT count as stitch.
• Stitch count for the row is in ( ) at end.
• Work instructions in [ ] as designated.
• When a number precedes a stitch you will complete that number of stitches in the next stitch. Example: 3hdc means you will make 3hdc in the next stitch.
• Make color changes in the last pull through of the previous stitch to where you want the new color to start.
