Granny’s Scrubby Dishcloth

FREE Dishcloth Crochet Pattern.

Here is this months pattern for the Granny-Spiration Challenge by EyeLoveKnots. For this month’s pattern I decided to revamp an old pattern I did some time ago using Red Heart Holiday Scrubby yarn. I love the scrubby yarns, except they are non-absorbent. They make for excellent scrubbers, but are no good for wiping down the table and counter.

So… I decided to try mixing it with cotton to give me the best of both worlds, and I love how it turned out! I simply worked the classic granny stitch in the round and switched up the scrubby and cotton yarns after each round.
