I just made one in Lily Sugar’nCream “Scrubby” yarn. I had no idea that someone made yarn just for scrubby making, lol

LOVE!! Saw this pattern and immediately picked up some ombre yarn leftover from a coffee cup cozy-didn’t even finish the ball-and now I have another cool, coordinated item for the gift-originally just the coffee cup.

Hello,

Which side is which? The side that is facing me as I crochet has a lovely spiral pattern (as shown on the first photo), but when I turn it over I get the standard sc stitches view (as shown in your second photo). Which side is used for scrubbing?

Hello Lilian, thanks for the kind words! The loop and edging part is clearly seen in the second image (http://www.crochetspot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Vortex-Tawashi-2-300×300.jpg). We make 10 ch, and work slip stitches around the tawashi, thus making a border. We work into the side edges of the back, and the sc stitches of the front, and back to the side edge of the back. Hope that helps!

First of all, thank you for the pattern and clear instructions. I’m a complete newbie (have never done magic circle nor decrease stitch nor spiral round), and it’s saying something about the quality your instructions that I could actually follow along and finish as far as I did

I got lost at the end “loop and edging”, though. I chained 10 but am not sure what slip stitch into each row meant, or where to do the last single crochet around?

Sorry to be a bother, but sincerely hope you can help.

Thanks again for the wonderful pattern!

This would be a great project to do with all those pesky plastic garbage bags collecting in my pantry…LOL! I know you have something somwhere on your website, Rachel, that gives instructions for making “plarn.” Sounds like a great weekend project to do some stocking stuffers and/or hostess gifts. Thanks!

That’s great! You can also use it doubled up for extra strength jobs. I’m totally making some tonight!
