Turkish Lif Scrubby Crochet Pattern by Jessie Rayot
What Is Being Made
The Turkish Lif Scrubby is a functional crocheted dishcloth or bath scrubby measuring 5.5 inches. This project creates a textured cleaning tool inspired by traditional Turkish lif scrubbers, combining practical utility with handmade craftsmanship. The finished piece works as a kitchen or bathroom accessory for gentle exfoliation and dishwashing tasks.
Craft and Technique Overview
This is a crochet project designed by independent designer Jessie Rayot. The pattern is classified as intermediate skill level, making it suitable for crocheters with some foundational experience beyond absolute beginners. The design uses circular construction worked in rounds, a common technique for creating compact, dimensional pieces like scrubbers and dishcloths.
Stitches Used
The Turkish Lif Scrubby employs fundamental crochet stitches that build texture and structure:
- Chain (ch) – Used to create the foundation and foundation chains throughout the pattern
- Single Crochet (sc) – The primary stitch providing dense, tight fabric ideal for a scrubbing surface
- Slip Stitch (sl st) – Used to join rounds and create seamless transitions between circular rows
The pattern also references spaces (sp) created between stitches, which may contribute to the textured, open-weave quality characteristic of traditional lif scrubbers.
Materials and Tools
The pattern specifies Cascade Yarns Paradigm Shift in worsted weight (Size 4), a 100% mercerized cotton yarn ideal for dishcloths and scrubbers due to its durability and absorbency. One skein of Spring 7 colorway (50 yards / 25 grams) provides sufficient yardage for the project. A 5.5mm (US I/9) crochet hook pairs with the worsted weight yarn to create the appropriate fabric density. A yarn needle completes the basic supplies needed for finishing.
Pattern Notes
Gauge is noted as not particularly critical for this project, offering flexibility for crocheters who may not achieve exact gauge specifications. The downloadable PDF format includes a full-color cover page, followed by ad-free black ink pattern text for economical printing, plus additional reference photos. The pattern is also available free online through Jessie Rayot's website.
