Mom’s Nylon Scrubby’s - Crochet Scrubby’s Made From Cut Nylon Netting - Secret Exposed

Nylon Scrubbies are a must have in every household and can be used for so many things.
Follow along in this tutorial and let’s make some together.
This was my mothers pattern. She made literally thousands over the years and she couldn’t make them as fast as they sold! She never bought even one skein of nylon.
Her pattern exposed!

I think using a rotary cutter on a healing mat will be easier than a scissor. I'm glad to have found your video. Thank you.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

I agree! 😊

[@emilydalton2552]

Just want to say I've watched this numerous times, paused and watched the same part over and over til I got it right. My grandma made some similar before she passed away so I have been trying to figure out how to make them. Yours is the first one I watched that was detailed enough and easy to follow. Thank you!

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

I’m so glad! You are very welcome 😍

[@vanessanda]

Perfect!!! We're financially tight at the moment and I've been thinking of making little bags of hand-made gifts for friends and family for different special occasions. This would be an absolutely perfect addition to a bag full of love!

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

These are loved by anyone you would give them to. Choose the courser netting. Generally the light colours are not good. Please show us in the FB group if you make them. 🥰

OMGOSH! I am SO happy I found this very pattern! My grandmother made these, they are the most durable ones. My grandmother tried to teach me when I was young, but I am left handed and I just could not get it. Now as I am older, I have figured out how to crochet, I have been looking for a pattern I like. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing! 💜💜💜

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

That is so great!! Please show me in my FB group when you are done. I’d love to see! facebook.com/groups/899664008062522/?ref=share_group_link&exp=9594

Very nice scrubbie. I haven't made one using netting in years! Thanks for sharing.

[@melodylager2485]

Using the longest length stitch on your machine, run a single stitch down the middle. This will hold your fabric together as you cut, and keeps your strips in nice neat bundles. When you go to use the bundle, rip out the stitch holding it together.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Great idea! 😍

[@juliehare3403]

I like this pattern better than the one I've been using. When I'm cutting my strips I will cut a few larger ones to use as stuffing. I also tie on a different color at the end of a row for a striped effect.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

When you tie your knots to join each new strip leave a longer tail to stuff.

[@NewfieGrandmaCreates]

I love the way you do your scrubbies. Can’t wait to get started on one.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Thank you! If you make some please post your work in my FB group so I can see. They are the best scrubbies!

[@katlap1]

Thank you! I make them as gifts to folks, but mine were haphazardly made...not consistent. I really like your pattern and the way you cut your netting, and how you tie the strips together. Genius!

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Thank you! Credit goes to my mom!!

[@heidigertz7271]

I’ve used clothes pins to hold all the edges even and a rotary cutter. Works best with a friend to help cut.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Great idea!

[@mhaen7539]

Thanks for sharing. I have some green netting that I’ve had for years. I’ll have to see if it will work for this.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

@@mhaen7539 I’m sure it will. If it is softer and doesn’t have a scratchy feel to it then cut the strips a bit wider. Some colours are not as course feeling and they seem a bit thinner to me so that’s why I cut them a bit wider.

[@mhaen7539]

@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Thanks for the advice.

[@levernelogan4914]

LOVE IT THESE THINGS ARE GREAT. I LIKE A FAT ONE ALSO , TELL YOUR MOM HELLO AND THANKS

[@user-nj8ji5qx6n]

Hi...How much do you sell them for...Thanks for sharing

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

I have sold them on the past for 3 for $10. 3 for $12 isn’t unreasonable as prices have gone up.

[@user-gp5kx7yv6l]

What is meters? In inches I think I could learn how not sure I'm 77years old but trying to learn new things.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

39 inches in a meter

[@marilynesposito3327]

I noticed that you don’t count the chain 2 as one of the 24 double crochets. Is that correct? Thank you!!!

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

That’s correct. Some people count it. I generally never do. You could if you wanted. When you slip stitch to join then you would go into the top of the chain 2 rather than the first DC.

[@katlap1]

Where did you find that cool needle?

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

It is a metal wool needle. Comes in a set of 3 sizes. Amazon or Walmart. I love them!

[@valeriehofmann2615]

Does it matter which direction I cut the netting?

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

Yes it does. You need to do it the way I show you. There is more stretch one way than the other. 🥰

[@valeriehofmann2615]

@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet so if I didn't buy alot I'm going to have shorter strips?

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

That’s fine. Just means more ties and more stuffing which is good. Show us your work in my FB group. I’d love to see. facebook.com/groups/899664008062522/?ref=share_group_link&exp=9594

[@valeriehofmann2615]

​@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet which direction would you be cutting? With the stretch or against?

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

I buy 3 or 4 feet. You want to be able to tie a lot of ends cause that’s your filler.

[@user-mr9sg1bl4p]

Спасибо вам большое.

I wish I could read this. I need to find a Ukrainian friend who can translate for me.
