As soon as I received the email from Lion Brand saying that they had released this yarn, I knew I could make something beautiful with it. The available colorways are vibrant and the material (nylon) is excellent for hard-to-clean dishes.

The unofficial start of the planting season in Colorado is Mother's Day. This leaves me in a limbo of several weeks where it feels like Spring but there are only a few flowers in bloom. In an embrace of my Spring fever, I decided to try and make a flower scrubby.

I am obsessed with the results because this little baby is gorgeous!

Please be mindful that there are some crochet stitches that you'll need to know to complete this project. Let's begin by taking a look at what those are.

🧶 Instructions

This project is very easy. First, we begin by making a long chain. Next, we single crochet across that chain to complete the first row. After that, we work up various sized petals, using clusters of stitches.

Shaping the flower is as simple as wrapping it clockwise from the center out. Stagger the petals as you rotate. Once you are satisfied with how it looks, tightly pinch the center. A few quick stitches through the middle will hold the whole thing together. Weave in your remaining tail.

Hint: Watch the video tutorial if you're struggling to shape the flower!

The leaves are optional but I think that they add a really lovely touch. They also don't take very long to crochet. Once we get those sewn onto the backside, our crochet flower scrubby is complete!

Use:

After firm scrubbing, these will appear to be flattened. Simply cup it into a ball and let it dry. There are so many extra stitches that you'd literally have to use a hard press to flatten this cutie out.

Everyone replaces their cleaning supplies after excessive use. Sponges don't last for years. The same goes for these. When yours just isn't functional and looking great anymore, make another one!

📓 Written pattern

📈 Petal Charts

I hope that some of you will find these helpful! It wasn't practical for me to make a long chart of 76 single crochet stitches, as funny as that would have been. What I did instead was break down the charts into separate petals.

The black row is our "row 1" of single crochet stitches. The blue row is "row 2". These are the clusters of stitches that comprise the petals. We work up one small petal, 7 medium petals, and 5 large petals.
