3 in 1 Household Crochet Project

I found this project when I had left over yarn from another project and I didn't know what to do with it. This yarn is like nylon, kind of stretchy like elastic and it is very soft. I used it to make a pair of flipflops and then had a whole ball left! The paper suggested to make a rug out of it or a t-shirt but I found, following their pattern made the yarn twist. The more rows I added the worse it became so I gave up and figured I would be suck with this yarn forever. Until I saw scrubbies on a Facebook group. This inspired me.



I started off making round coasters out of this first. Then I figured out of you make two coasters and sew them together you get a dish scrubby. And finally, if you keep adding rows you get a pot holder!


Circle Coasters
I started with a Magic Ring, and crocheted 12 double crochets into the ring. Once I had the ring, I chained two and crocheted two double crochets into each stitch. The reason I did this, not only to grow it but also because I found the yarn curls if you do not grow it in each turn.

The magic ring, plus one round is perfect for a coaster. Once you have joined the round with a slip stitch, cut the yarn (giving a lot of slack before hand), and pull the end through the final stitch. Create a knot as close to the coaster as possible with both ends before cutting the extra off. 

Pot and Pan Scrubby

To make the scrubbies, you need to first crochet two coaster (directions above). Once you have the two coasters, take the same type of yarn you are using give yourself a lot of slack and cut. At two knots to the end of your yarn and threat a needle with it. Use this yarn and needle to sew the two pieces together using the each stitch. 

Once the full circle is done, sew in the end and cut any excess off. 

Pot Holder:
Once you get the hang of working in the round, simply continue (chain two and make two double crochets in each stitch) until you have the size you would like. Finish the project off the same way you would for the coasters.
