The super cute dish scrubbies Mrs. Micawber sent for Christmas many years ago finally completed their journey. (They wore out.) (Mine actually lasted YEARS beyond the "months" Sue displays on her blog.) I found myself longing for new hand-crocheted scrubbies because I liked what she made so much better than anything I've been able to buy in a store. I didn't think to ask her last time we got together if I could beg for a few more for a future Christmas present, so I decided to try my hand at making snowflake scrubbies. I hope Sue approves!
I still don't go in-person shopping much, and I didn't want to spend too much time searching for tulle or nylon net, and I guess I'm a bit lazy because I didn't want to cut up strips of it if I found mesh yardage. So I cheated and bought rolls intended for weddings.
You may do whatever you'd like with snowflake scrubbies you make from this pattern, but you may not sell or republish the pattern. Please make sure to check Sue's tips for working with nylon netting before attempting a pattern like this for the first time. You won't regret it. Thanks, and enjoy!
Finished Size: 5 inches from point to point
Materials: about .5 rolls of 3-inch net mesh, size G crochet hook,
