Plastic Plarn Scrubbie Dots

Posted on March 12, 2010

Here are my colorful plarn scrubbies I crocheted using Doni’s scrubbie dots pattern. I used a “J” (6 mm) crochet hook and followed her pattern instructions using recycled plastic bags cut about 3/4″ wide as shown in my plarn-making-tutorial. The finished dimensions for my scrubbies are 4 inch wide if you follow the exact pattern directions but use plarn instead of cotton yarn.

I just love this quick and so cute pattern. The nice thing about these scrubbies is that they only take about 2 colored and two white plastic bags to crochet each scrubbie. If you are like me, it’s hard to get colored bags so this is the perfect recycled crafting project to use those uniquely colored bags.

Enjoy this pretty and very useful crochet pattern. Have fun experimenting with colored bags to create your own unique recycled scrubbie!

    These are great! Can’t wait to make them – I have been needing scrubbies for a while and have LOTS of plastic bags saved up. I made some awhile back with plastic onion bags, but they wore out and I don’t have anymore of them.

    Thanks for this post, I was looking for a quickie plarn project this morning to send as a thank-you gift, and this is perfect! I already want to make more for my own kitchen…
