Crochet Pattern: All Purpose Scrubbie
By Rachel Choi – 18 Comments| Here is a scrubbie that is soft enough to shower and wash your face with and still tough enough to clean dirty pots and pans. I wouldn’t recommend using it for all of these at one time, so be sure to make enough to go around. No matter if you are a beginner or an advanced crocheter here is a pattern you can enjoy. It doesn’t take much yarn and can be whipped up fairly quickly. For extra scrubbing power, add some nylon netting. |  |

Hi,
I came across your site by accident looking for a good pattern for baby booties that I was going to get my Grandma to translate for me (all of the little codes might as well be another language for me).
I found the listing of abbreviations so helpful. They must seem like insignificant details to regular crocheters because I could not find them anywhere else until I came to this site.
What you do is absolutely amazing !! You are so clever and I am so jealous !!
Now I can’t wait until I get home from work to start some patterns on my own
Thank you for taking the time to share your creations !!

I’ve never used a place marker. Can you explan the purpose as it relates to this pattern?
Hey Cat!
A place marker helps you keep track of where one round ends and the next begins. You can use a piece of scrap yarn and put it into the stitch. More info on using place markers in crochet can be found in a post a wrote a while back. It’s in example 2 at the bottom.
I hope that helps!
This is a great idea!! I’m going to whip up a couple and use them on my dishes tonight….thanks!!

Very cool. A good idea would be to only sew them together about halfway and then put buttons or a zipper or something on it so you could use it in the shower and put a soap bar in it
a good idea would be to only sew the pieces halfway together and then attach a button or something so that u could use it in the shower and put a soap bar in it or something. Thanks for the pattern!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These things are great! i’m gonna try to make one out of plarn (plastic bag “Yarn”)
I made mini versions of your pattern and only one circle and use them to wash my chickens eggs.
After each round should it be joined with a slip stitch? There is nothing that says to join and I’ve made it to row 3 and its a half circle. I’m new to crochet.
Deidre, the pattern in crocheted in the round like a spiral. There’s no need to join with a slip stitch. After each round don’t turn your work, simple continue to crochet in a circular fashion. Let me know if you need more help!
“For extra scrubbing power, add some nylon netting.”
Do you mean to crochet the netting into the yarn? Any tips on how to do that? Thx!
Marlene, yes you can crochet with the netting. To do so, try cutting thin strips of the netting and hold it along with your yarn as you crochet.
may i make some of these to sell? trying to raise money to go to prom.
Yes, all finished crocheted items that you make from any Crochet Spot pattern may be sold. Good luck with your sales!
yay! thank you so much
I have found thee for sale from time to time and lately can not find them. Do any of you gals sell them and for how much? I really like these, but have no time to do this even if I crocheted, which I do not. Help.
the Scrubbie works very goood!
where can you get netting from? i can use this for face, yes?
