Hi, and welcome to day four of the Spring Cleaning Free Crochet Pattern Blitz! Today I’d like to introduce you to the One Tough Scrubby!

onetough5

I hand wash a lot of dishes.  I do have a dishwasher but still, I like to wash most of the kids dishes, my sharp knives, pots and pans by hand.  I go through a lot of them.

So one thing I like to always have on hand are scrubbies! I especially like the ones that take a little while to wear out and that wash in the washing machine well.  This is it!

This is one tough Scrubby!  This Scrubby is double thick and features some great texture.  Because the stitches are worked around the posts of the stitch below instead of the top, they are extra strong.

The design is worked using both one strand of cotton and one strand of Scrubby held together.  This makes it much easier to work with the Scrubby yarn.

A video tutorial for this project is present at the conclusion of the pattern.

The pattern will be written out in full below.  But if you would like to save this pattern to your library, or you would like to purchase a PDF download, you may do so through my Ravelry and Etsy shops linked below:
