Hi, hello, how’s it going?

If you’re new here I am Corrine, I knit and crochet, and I design patterns.

Welcome back to last part of my Christmas Dish Scrub Series! Today we will be making the Peppermint Round Dish Scrub.

As I was shopping around Michael’s for yarn to design holiday pieces I saw some Squeaky Clean yarn and had always wanted to try it.

When I finally was able to sit down and work with it, it ended up going so much better than I expected. I thought it would be difficult to see the stitches and hard to work with but it actually was really fun and easy to use.

I am looking forward to making even more dish scrubs in the future.

Like watching video tutorials? I got you. I make left and right handed crochet videos on YouTube.

If you prefer the ad-free PDF you can find it in my Etsy Shop and Ravelry!

Now let’s get to making the Santa Hat Dish Scrub!

Materials:

Squeaky Clean Sparkle by Loops and Threads from Michael’s in the colors chili and snow.

5.5 mm Hook

Stitch marker

Tapestry Needle

Scissors

Gauge:

10 rows x 12 sts = 4×4 inches in HDC.

Abbreviations:

Ch – chain

Rnd -Round

HDC – Half double crochet

HDC2tog – Half double crochet 2 stitches together.

St(s) – stitch(es)

Notes:

• Pattern is worked in continuous rounds, do not join.
• Color change: When you get to the stitch right before the color change, work half the stitch with current color and then work the last yarn over with the next color.
• –  When the number is before the stitch, do that amount in one stitch. (2HDC – 2 HDC in a single stitch).
• –  When the number follows the stitch, work across that many stitches. (HDC 2 – HDC across 2 sts).
