How to crochet flower scrubbies with scrubby yarn that are excellent as dish scrubbies, face scrubbies and body scrubbies, but you can use them for a variety of projects too if you want to use them as appliques or join them together. With just a small amount of yarn needed, these are great for scraps of yarn too.
This floral motif has been one of absolute favorite little things! I have used to create so many fun projects. You can see some of these projects in the Intro of the video:

Materials:
You'll need 24 Yards of a Worsted Weight #4 Cotton Yarn and Scrubbie Yarn - I used WeCrochet Dishie in the Bumblebee and Azure colorways paired together with Lion Brand Stitch Soak Scrub in the Cyber Yellow and Turquoise colorways; 6 Yards of each of the 2 for the center of my flowers, and 6 Yards of each of the 2 for the Petals. You'll also need a H8/5mm Crochet Hook, and a Tapestry Needle to weave in ends.
Shop WeCrochet Dishie: shrsl.com/39dmw
Shop Lion Brand Stitch Soak Scrub: yarncraftsandcoffee.com/product/lion-brand-stitch-soak-scrub-yarn
Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives to Dishie: Circulo Natural Cotton Maxcolor 4/6 or Queensland Coastal Cotton [yarncraftsandcoffee.com/product/queensland-coastal-cotton-yarn-solids/]
For scrubbing purposes, if you choose to combine a yarn with the scrubbie yarn, you'll want to use a cotton yarn. If you decide to use these flowers decoratively made with scrubbie yarn, you can easily combine it with any yarn out of your stash - these flowers would make nice appliques or string them up for a garland.
Gauge is not essential for this project so you can easily substitute another weight yarn that might be in your stash, such as a Lightweight #3 Yarn like Queensland Coastal Cotton Fine [yarncraftsandcoffee.com/product/queensland-coastal-cotton-fine-yarn/] or Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK [shrsl.com/482g7].
If you want to treat yourself to an ergonomic crochet hook, I highly recommend SiennasBowtique on Etsy. Here is the Koi Fish one I'm using in the video: tidd.ly/3AKVOMr
Jewelry Pliers [amzn.to/3ODz1cQ] are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends, as cotton yarn can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle.
Time Spent:
Just over 15 minutes per flower.
Measurements:
Taken from the position of one petal at the top center and measured from tip of top petal to tip of bottom petal by width.
