CROCHET BACK SCRUBBER

11/28/2015

Simple, simple, simple! Takes about an hour to make and is a gentle alternative for washing your back in the shower. Get rid of those awkward, rough, moldy brushes and give this 100% cotton, washable back scrubber a try!

Supplies Needed:

1 Skein (2.5 oz.) 100% Cotton Yarn (Lily Sugar'n Cream)
Size 7 Crochet Hook (4.5 mm)
Yarn needle
Scissors

Directions:
This pattern uses the Front Loop Single Crochet Stitch.

Row 1: Chain 20, sc (single crochet) in 2nd stitch from hook and in each stitch thereafter (total 19).
Row 2: Turn work, chain one, and sc in front loop of each stitch accross (total 19 stitches).
Rows 3 - 60: Repeat row 2.

Make handles:

Side one: at the end of row 60, turn, chain one, and sc in front loop of first five stitches. Turn work, chain one, sc 5 stitches. Repeat for a total of 35 rows of 5 sc each being sure to do the front loop only each time. Use yarn needle to connect to last 5 stitches on final row at the other side of the 60th row in order to create the handle (see picture).
Side two: Go to the other side, connect and sc in front loop of first 5 stitches. Do the same as what it states for side one above by completing 35 rows and connecting to the other side when done.
Be sure to weave in all loose ends using the yarn needle at the end!

Roll it up, and add a label to make it into a nice gift!

Squeals of delight, I just made my first one and it’s lovely! I have a friend who makes comfort baskets for women who are going through cancer treatment. These are perfect for her to include in the basket. You are so generous to include the printable. I am ordering more yarn right now. Thank you for sharing.

I am going to try to make these out of tulle also. And for Christmas gifts I just retaught myself how to crochet by make dish scrubbies. And I used tulle for them. What size hook did you use?

Thanks for sharing this free pattern. I’m trying to rescue the amount of plastic I use and waste that I create, so something washable and reusable like this is just perfect 😊 and thank you for the printable wrapper, these will make lovely gifts 😊

Thank you for this sweet pattern. I've just purchased a bunch of cottony scrubby yarn. I originally did not know what I was going to make with it but now I know! These will make great gifts!

Loved the idea, and quickly made one. Tested it yesterday in the shower and it stretched so much it was pretty useless. I'm planning a wider, shorter version today and hope this works. Any suggestions? I simply love the idea.
