Micawber Scrubbies Free Crochet Pattern
The designer of this crochet project worked hard to come up with a pattern for crochet scrubbies that you can actually use. Here are five reasons to love the final design:
- The scrubbies are flat so they can work to clean anything.
- A round shape means that there are no corners to curl up.
- Although they soften with time, they stay stiff enough to really scrub away grime.
- The optional-hanging loop is perfect for hanging these scrubbies to dry.
- The slip stitch edging increases the durability of the project.

Many people have special scrubbies that they use to clean the insides of bottles and glasses. But those storebought scrubbers don't last forever. When yours has lost its usefulness, instead of throwing it out consider upcycling it with crochet! Just save the handle, gather some fresh cotton worsted weight yarn and a crochet hook and you can create a replacement bottle scrubber.
