i don't know why i am having such a hard time keeping my rows at twenty ...i am landing up with 17...and nothing left...i am going to start again...my first two rows are great then i lose it...
I've just started to crochet and can only do a sc so far. This is my very first project and it came out a bit rough but I can still use it as a bath scrubbie. I'm so thrilled that I was able to do this! You're beginner's crochet video got me started and then I progressed to this one once I got the sc down pat. Thank you so much for your videos - you've taught me something that I really enjoy. Bless you Donna - you've given me a lovely gift!!
@naztazia It sure would be nice if the sew together part at the end has clear instructions. Turn it over how? My tail is not in a good place to sew the opposite end. Thank you.
@54Spinner Hello - there should be a written annotation in the video on what to do, but it might be hidden by the advertisements (I've just moved it to the top). After pulling the yarn tightly, push your needle through the center of the scrubbie and out to the other side. Then turn the scrubbie over and weave around the other side's edges.
Thanks so much for this video! I could not figure out the assembly portion of this scrubbie. I realized (from watching you) that I was sewing the edges together & weaving through the rows- oops, backwards!
I love all of your videos- thanks for taking the time to put them out there.
I really love this. I am having a problem with the increase side it is not increasing it is just straight. I thought I was doing everything u said, so what am I doing wrong?
OK, made one but I have a problem. In the beginning I have 17 sc as you between the beginning and the end but after 21 rows I have 10-15 sc left hahaha....I doing something wrong (I decrease extra somewhere) but have no idea where.....OK try another one but with acryl because making it with the cotton I have available made it very small(about the half of yours) even using the largest hook(4,5 mm) voor this yarn.
@trovey02 Sometimes those decreases can be a bit tricky! It's just a matter of counting each and every row, which is alot easier said than done if your house is like mine with lots of noise between kids/pets, etc. Some cotton yarn is thin - which is why yours came out small. Actually the cotton makes a nice size for small baby scrubbies. The acrylic you used is very nice too because it doesn't stretch as easily and oftentimes lasts longer through lots of washings.
Hello, I've run into trouble sewing this piece together. My shape is fine until I weave one end around and then start on the other end. I wind up with a cylinder instead of a flat scrubbie. Please help!!!! :) I guess I get lost when you say turn the work over and use the same yarn, do you push the yarn through the center and then continue on with weaving in the other side?
@dpsmith74 Hello - yes, once you sew the center closed on the one side, you push the same yarn through the center and then continue weaving/sewing the center of the other side. That will avoid the cylinder shape and make the scrubbie into a flat disk.
@naztazia - Thank you so much, that did it! I thought that is what you meant but I wasn't sure and it was the only part of your video that wasn't quite clear. You make amazing videos, thank you again :)
@grace007ify Hi! If the spiral pattern isn't working, it's probably because you aren't doing the increases and decreases correctly at the beginning and the ending of each row. That's what actually forms the spiral pattern when you go to sew the scrubbie. Take a look at the 3 minute 2 second mark in the video. When you are finished crocheting, does your piece look like that shape? I think the shape is called a parallelogram. If not, I'd suggest reviewing the increase/decrease part of the video.
Before you started to show how to make these in the video, I was thinking "Yeah, these would be easy to do in the round". But, after I watched the video I realized that what started to seem like the easy way to do this probably wouldn't have been a smart move on my part, lol.
@msvpofccp1978 I'm taking a little break from videos now, but will put that one on the to-do list. Essentially most hyperbolic plane crochet starts off with anywhere from 2 to 20 chains (depending upon object), then subsequent rows usually double in stitches. You achieve this doubling by doing 2 single crochets in each stitch from the row below.
@crafteecrafter You are absolutely correct! I could definitely see a little pink set or blue set or green/yellow with some bath time baby shampoo, baby lotion, a little duck toy, and tiny socks/booties :)
@colebabys23 Absolutely you could use the nylon netting with the pattern. I've cut up tulle into 1-inch strips from the fabric stores and have used that. I've also used thin nylon cording you can find in the rope section of Lowe's. They might come out bigger than if you use regular cotton, but the stronger materials like nylon work very well. Hope this helps.
I wanted to thank you for making a video that is complete and easy to follow.. I wanted to know if you have a video how to make a bikini... I want to make one formy daughter.... THank YOu
I wanted to thank you for making a video that is so easy to follow and complete.. I was wondering if you had a video on how to make a bikini. I want to make one for my daughter.. thank you
@bassfish0912 Hiya! You can make a scrubbie bigger and still use the same pattern by doing a few things. 1) You can use a larger crochet hook, which will increase the size of each stitch - thereby increasing the final product. 2) You can use thicker yarn (or even double the yarn) - thus also increasing the final product. 3) You can use a thicker yarn and a larger crochet hook. You can also modify the pattern - perhaps add 5 chains at the beginning row and add 5 more rows to the pattern.
@RialaRunes Hiya! The crochet hook I'm using in the video is the size recommended in Judith Prindle's pattern for the spiral scrubbies - an aluminum USA size "H" in the Boye brand. If you are using the metric system, it's a 5mm.
I had to request the printed version because my pc plays some vids very slow. I almost completed the project when I realized I didn' t understand how to scruntch it up. So, I had to come on here & watch what ends were to be weaved in & where, to finish the project.
Thanks so much for this adorable bath scrubbie. I think I will use a couple size larger needle to make my next scrubbie! :o)
Thanks for stopping by! I love this pattern myself - can't even begin to tell you how many of these scrubbies I have made just in the past year alone. Take care!
325Sharona, it sounds like you are forgetting the final step which is to pull the yarn through the center (the hollow center) and having both yarn ends meet at one end, you tie them together. This pulls the swirl flat, creating the swirl look.
Even as an intermediate crocheter, I still find it sooo difficult to read patterns - your channel is just what I've been looking for! Thank you so much, Donna! These scrubbies are so easy and fun to make, especially with your very deliberated and clear instructions!
You're welcome. :D But . . . one thing I have to say is, I noticed after I made a couple that they don't look like the ones you show at the end. After crocheting them, I stich up the middle seam, then draw one end together, then finish off the other end leaving me with the whole piece, but how exactly do you fold it or do whatever it is you do to create that round, swirly look? Signed, Discombobulated.
Sounds like you are doing everything correctly. As long as you are doing the decreases on the one side and the increases on the other side, it "should" automatically swirl. And pulling the center yarn really tight and adjusting the stitches helps too. Sometimes the swirl is just more pronounced using certain multi-colored yarn.
i love your vids this video was very helpful i've already made 2 in the 2 days i've watched this video, i've made an orange soft one and a camouflage one since i am a male crocheter and i love orange, i cant wait to see more crochet videos!!!!!!
Oh wow - that's an awesome idea. I never thought of camouflage. And there are some wonderful camouflage-colored yarns these days in all sorts of fibers. I bet your scrubbies look great!
Yes, that's exactly what's happening. Weave around the first edge, pull tightly to close the circle, then put your yarn needle with the same yarn through the center towards the other side, then weave around that other edge.
I should also mention that when you finish that last edge, you don't necessarily need to pull the yarn through the center again. There are actually 2 tail ends (one when you start the scrubbie, and one when you end it)... I just knotted the yarn from the last weaved side to the other tail end. Probably can do it any number of other ways as well.
Love this tutorial! I made one! I used Sugar n' Cream cotton, it's a multicolored one. It turned out great! Thanks for this amazing video!

I should also mention that when you finish that last edge, you don't necessarily need to pull the yarn through the center again. There are actually 2 tail ends (one when you start the scrubbie, and one when you end it)... I just knotted the yarn from the last weaved side to the other tail end. Probably can do it any number of other ways as well.
