Easy Flower Shaped Dish Scrubby Free Crochet Pattern

Tired of crocheting those boring and same old, round dish scrubbies?  Why not change things up a bit and crochet some of these cute flower ones?!  This flower scrubby crochet pattern is super quick and easy to make.

This flower scrubby is crocheted in only 3 rounds, talk about a quick pattern.  You could have a dozen of these crochet kitchen scrubbies made in a short amount of time.  Plus, they are so much more fun than just using a regular, old kitchen sponge.  

These crochet dish scrubbies are made using simple stitches like single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet stitches. 

Reasons to Make Crochet Scrubbies

Scrubbies make for a great crochet project!  And here may be a few reasons why –

• Easy to Make and Sell at Markets and Craft Fairs –  I know for me that at the few small markets that I have set up and sold crochet items at in the past, scrubbies were a great thing to have to sell as they serve a good purpose and are an inexpensive item to add to your booth.  They are super quick and easy, they are even something that you can sit and crochet at your market when it seems slow.
• Reusable – Making your own little scrubbies is way more economical than using traditional scrubbers or a kitchen sponge because you can just throw them into the dishwasher to clean them and then reuse them for a long time instead of tossing them into the trash.
• Uses Little Yarn – This is a great pattern for scrap yarn .  It takes such a small amount of yarn that usually leftover yarn from other projects is all you need to make them.
• Saves Money – Aside from not using that much yarn, which alone makes them inexpensive to make, they will last for a really long time.
• Yarn Variations – Different yarn brands have been expanding their scrubby yarn lines!  There are so many fun and colorful scrubby yarns on the market nowadays!  So we aren’t stuck with just having to use plain cotton yarn to make scrubbies with, we now have quite a few fun scrubby yarns.   

Which Scrubby Yarn is the Best?

Which type of yarn is best for making scrubbies depends on what type of scrubby that you are wanting to crochet.  If you are wanting to crochet a face scrubbie pattern, then you would want to choose a soft cotton yarn.  I like worsted weight cotton yarn and a couple of my favorite brands are

• Dishie from We Crochet
• I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby
• Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton
• Crafters Secret from Hobby Lobby

If you aren wanting to crochet scrubbies for washing dishes, then you will want a yarn that has texture to it to help get the dishes clean.  A few good textured yarns that you can find are

• Red Heart Scrubby Yarn
• Lion Brand Stitch Soak Scrub Yarn
• Yarn Bee Scrub-Ology Cotton Yarn

I chose to use Yarn Bee Scrub-Ology ‘Scrub It’ Yarn for these flower scrubbies.  This brand of yarn comes in many different bright colors so it is the perfect yarn to use to make a bunch of different colored flower crochet scrubbies.  

This yarn has a great texture and is not too rough, but scrubby enough to get dishes clean without scratching them.

Given the small amount of yarn that these fun scrubbies take to make, scrap yarn or leftover yarn from another project works great for this easy crochet project.

Any type of scrubby makes for a great housewarming gift.  You could put together a care package full of different cleaning related items and include some scrubbies.
