How to Crochet - Spiral Scrubbie Tutorial

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.

I hope this helps,

the scubbies looks like eh lollipops!!

Hehe indeed they do!

I'm so glad you made this video! The visual demo really helped me understand the pattern! Thank you!!

Great! Thanks for the feedback!

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!

Thanks for the kindness.  These little scrubbies are indeed fun - and certainly make great gifts (for others - or yourself!)

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.

Thank you for the kind thoughts. I really appreciate the feedback.
