Happy Holidays! I’m just putting together some last-minute neighbor gifts with Red Heart Scrubby Sparkle and I thought I’d share the idea and the beginner friendly pattern. 

Surprisingly, this yarn is soft and easy to crochet with. It did not scratch my hands at all. When I saw it at my local craft store, that was my first thing I worried about, but I had no problems.

I decided to use two strands together to make these little scrubbies. It made them a little thicker and more like a pot scrubber. 

These are really quick, I made three in under an hour. They also make good practice for learning how to decrease.  

I made a little video tutorial if you need it:
