Crocheted Kitchen Scrubbies

Original post by Sarah @ Renewed Upon a Dream, please visit her website for more great ideas!”

I don’t know about you, but I wash all of my pots & pans, knives, and wine glasses by hand.  I have a dishwasher, but I find it’s best to wash these specific things by hand.  So I’m doing dishes unusually about twice a day.  I always used to use a sponge to do this, but I was having to replace it all the time!  Sponges do not last very long do they?  Well, I came across this new option recently & had to give it a try!

Yea!  Little kitchen scrubbies!  These turned out to be about the size of my palm, maybe a little bigger.  I used a pattern I found on Nadine’s Patterns.  They are made of tulle, so they are scrubby, without being really abrasive.

I bought a red & a blue roll of tulle from JoAnn’s.  They are by the cake stuff… I don’t know why, but you know the area that has all of the cake decorating supplies, yea, it’s over there.  I looked all over that store & finally found it   I’ll save you the time.  You cut the tulle in half before crocheting it, so those rolls are going to last me a while!  I predict I can probably make about 4 scrubbies per roll.  Which is great!  It’s under $2 for a roll, so that is much cheaper than buying sponges.  Plus they are just cute don’t you think?

Little cuties right?  One side is pretty flat, and the other side has the little ridges that you see above going into a spiral.  This is done by doing back look crochets instead of regular ones.  I do love these & am looking forward to throwing out all sponges.  Yuck!  What do you think of them?
