Being that this project is so small, you only need about 2 shopping bags per scrubby you want to make. But, you can always make a bigger scrubby by using more bags and continuing to add stitches in each round!

This project is perfect for tough to clean items that you don’t want to risk scratching up with a rougher cleaning surface, or for those items that you need to get cleaned but wouldn’t want to use the sponge/scrubby again after.

Not into using plarn?

I’ve also followed the same pattern using cotton yarn and scrubby yarn! Hold one strand of each type of yarn together and follow along with the pattern.

Plarn Dish/Cleaning Scrubby

Supplies Needed: small amount of plarn, 6.5 mm crochet hook, tapestry needle.

Stitch Abbreviations Used: ch – chain, slst – slip stitch, sc – single crochet, dc – double crochet.

Pattern

Round 1: magic ring – 6 sc, slst to first stitch of round.

Round 2 – Round 3: ch 2 (does not count as a stitch), 2 dc in each stitch around, slst to first dc of round. (24 stitches)

Round 4: ch 1(does not count as a stitch), 2 sc in each stitch around, slst to first sc of round. (48 stitches)

Fasten off, use a tapestry needle or your crochet hook to weave in the ends.

Need a bigger scrubby?

Continue adding increases each round to make the scrubby your desired size. Personally, I would continue with the double crochet rounds and leave the single crochet round to be my final round.

For example:

Round 4: ch 2, *2 dc in first stitch, 1 dc in next* repeat * to * around, slst to first dc of round.

Round 5: ch 2, *2 dc in first stitch, dc in each of the next 2* repeat * to * around, slst to first dc of round.

Continue on with this pattern, adding one stitch to the end of the repeated pattern in each additional round until you get close to your desired size. Then, I would complete a final round of single crochet stitches following the same pattern.

What will you use your new cleaning scrubby for?

Princess Accessory Set

Supplies Needed: main dress colored yarn, accent colored yarn, black yarn, preferred hair color yarn, 3.25 mm hook.

Stitch Abbreviations Used: sc – single crochet, dc – double crochet, ch – chain, slst – slip stitch.

Braided Bun (preferred hair color yarn)

Round 1: magic ring – 6 sc.

Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch (12 stitches)

Round 3: *sc first 3 stitches, [ch 35, begin stitches in 2nd chain from hook, sc 34 stitches along chain, slst to next stitch of round 2] complete [ to ] 3 times, then repeat * to * to the end of the round.

Round 4: 2 sc in each stitch around (24 stitches, 6 strands of ‘hair’)

Round 5: *2 sc in first stitch, sc each of the next 3* repeat * to * around.

Round 6: *sc each of the first 4, 2 sc in next stitch* repeat * to * around. (36 stitches)

Round 7: sc in each stitch around.

Round 8: *2 sc in first stitch, sc each of the next 5* repeat * to * around.

Round 9: *sc first 3 stitches, 2 sc in next, sc each of the following 3 stitches* repeat * to * around. (48 stitches)

Round 10: sc each stitch around.

Round 11: *2 sc in first stitch, sc next 7* repeat * to * around. (54 stitches)

Round 12 – Round 18: sc in each stitch around.

Round 19: sc first 20, dc next 5 stitches, sc, slst 2 times, sc, dc next 5, sc last 20 stitches.

Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing to head. Create the braided bun, then pin the bun onto the doll’s head so that you can find just the right placement before sewing it on. I prefer to have the 2 slip stitches aligned with the nose.

Creating the Bun!

Create 2 braids using each section of 3 ‘hair’ strands to create their own braid.

Twist the braids around themselves and each other to create the desired bun look.

Tack and sew the braided bun into place so it stays secure!

Dress (main dress color yarn)

The bodice of the dress will be worked in rows first, then you will slip stitch the ends together to begin the skirt portion.

Row 1: Leaving a long tail to start, ch 26, begin stitches in 2nd chain from hook, sc 25, ch 1, turn.

Row 2: sc first stitch, *sc next 2, 2 sc, sc next 3* repeat * to * across, ch 1, turn.

Row 3: sc first stitch, *sc next 3, 2 sc, sc next 3* repeat * to * across, ch 1, turn.

Row 4: sc first 4, *2 sc, sc* repeat * to * 4 times, sc next 10, repeat * to * 4 times, sc 3, ch 1, turn.

Row 5: sc first 3, *sc, 2 sc, sc* repeat * to * 4 times, sc next 10, repeat * to * 4 times, sc last 4, ch 1, turn.

Row 6: sc first 7, ch 2, skip next 12 stitches, sc next 12, ch 2, skip 12, sc last 6, ch 1, turn.

Row 7 – Row 8: sc 29 across, ch 1, turn.

Row 9: sc first stitch, *sc next 3, 2 sc, sc next 3* repeat * to * across, ch 1, turn.

Row 10 – Row 11: sc across, ch 1, turn.

Row 12: sc first stitch, *sc next 4, 2 sc, sc next 3 stitches* repeat * to * across, ch 1, turn.

Row 13: sc across, slst to first stitch of row.

You will now begin working in rounds to create the skirt. Ch 2 does not count as a stitch throughout this pattern.

Round 14: ch 2, *2 dc in first stitch, 3 dc in next* repeat * to * around, slst to first stitch.

Round 15: ch 2, *2 dc in first stitch, dc next 4* repeat * to * around, slst to first stitch.

Round 16 – Round 18: ch 2, dc in each stitch around, slst to first stitch.

Change to accent color yarn.

Round 19: ch 1, *sc first stitch, ch 3, sc in furthest chain from hook* repeat * to * around, slst to first stitch of round.

Fasten off. Use the long tail you left at the beginning to sew the back seam closed, then weave in ends.

You can easily adapt this dress to be longer by continuing to repeat rounds 16-18 to the desired length.

Shoes (make 2, black yarn)

Round 1: ch 6, begin stitches in 2nd chain from hook, 2 sc in first chain, sc next 3, 4 sc in last chain, turn to continue working along the opposite side of the foundation chain, sc next 3 stitches, 2 sc in final chain.

Round 2: 2 sc in first stitch, sc next 5, 2 sc each of the next 2 stitches, sc next 5, 2 sc in last stitch.

Round 3: 2 sc in each of the first 2 stitches, sc next 5, 2 sc each of the next 4 stitches, sc next 5, 2 sc in each of the last 2 stitches. (26 stitches)

Round 4: BLO sc around.

Round 5 – Round 6: sc around.

Round 7: sc each of the first 9, sc2tog 4 times, sc last 9.

Round 8: sc first 7, hdc2tog 4 times, sc last 7.

Fasten off, weave in ends. If you want the shoes to remain removable from the doll, just slide them over the feet. If you want the shoes secured to the feet, tack them to the feet/legs at the front and back of each leg.

Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing the hair onto the dolls head.

I like to use stitch markers to help fasten round 6 of the hair onto the head to get an idea of placement and how exactly I want to style/fasten the hair. It can be slightly different depending on the way that the head is stuffed/detailed.

Don’t forget to go back to the doll base pattern and make another one with a light tan skin tone yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver in Buff), to create our version of Glinda.

The post Defy Gravity with this Wicked Green Witch Doll Accessory Set! appeared first on GETTING HOOKED ON CROCHET.

For the finishing touch, the logo on Al’s jersey, I had a hard time finding a Red Wings patch that I could purchase in the correct size. So, I made my own using my Silhouette Cameo machine, some white heat transfer vinyl, and red vinyl that was as close to the red of my yarn as possible. I then used a needle and thread to attach it between the front two legs. You could definitely get away with no patch, or search online for a small patch if you don’t have access to these supplies.

Al the Octopus
