Craft and Primary Technique

This is a crochet project classified as beginner difficulty, making it an excellent choice for those new to crochet or looking for a quick, satisfying make. The pattern uses fundamental crochet techniques that build essential skills while producing a functional finished item.

Stitches and Construction Method

The Pocket Scrubber is constructed primarily using single crochet (sc) stitches worked in the round. The pattern begins with a foundation chain and progresses through the following stitch sequence:

• Round 1 establishes the base with 7 single crochet stitches, followed by 3 single crochet increases in the last stitch, then 7 more single crochet stitches along the opposite side of the beginning chain, with 2 single crochet increases in the final stitch, joined with a slip stitch (20 sc total)
• Rounds 2 through 10 maintain the stitch count of 20 single crochet stitches per round, joined with slip stitches
• Round 11 uses slip stitches to finish and fasten off the piece

Materials and Tools

The Pocket Scrubber pattern calls for chunky weight yarn in a scrubby texture. The recommended yarn is Yarn Bee Scrub-Ology Scrub It Yarn, with just 1 skein producing 3 complete dishcloths. A 5.5mm crochet hook is used to work the pattern, and a tapestry needle is needed for finishing.

Gauge and Sizing

The pattern specifies a gauge of 8 single crochet stitches by 10 rows equals 4 inches by 4 inches. This gauge information helps crocheters adjust their tension to achieve the intended finished size of 4 inches by 4.5 inches.
