How to Crochet Pot Scrubbies With Netting

Use nylon netting to create a useful kitchen scrubby that is reusable and will last a long time. Nylon netting can be purchased at any fabric store, and comes in various widths; you'll need to trim it into a long, continuous strip for crocheting. Once your scrubby is complete, use it to clean up bakeware, pots and stains in the kitchen, then run it through the dishwasher to keep it clean and germ-free.

Things You'll Need

  • 1 yard 72-inch-wide nylon netting, any color
  • Ruler
  • Water-soluble fabric marker
  • Scissors
  • Size H crochet hook

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Netting

    • 1

      Spread the netting out on a table or other large work surface. Measure and mark off 3-inch strips along the long edge of the netting.

    • 2

      Cut along the marked lines. You should end up with 12 strips that are 3 inches by 72 inches wide.

    • 3

      Tie the strips together to create one long strip. Trim the tails close to the knots with scissors. Roll the long strip of netting into a ball.

    Crochet the Scrubbie

    • 4

      Make a slip knot in the netting and chain 20.

    • 5

      Single crochet in the second chain from the hook.

    • 6

      Single crochet in each of the remaining chains.

    • 7

      Turn and single crochet across in each of the stitches.

    • 8

      Continue stitching the scubbie by working across each row in single crochet until you run out of netting or the scrubbie is the size you want it to be. Finish off and weave in the loose ends using the hook or a tapestry needle.
