Back Scrubber
Materials:
Worsted weight cotton yarn
Crochet hook size H
(This makes a back scrubber approximately 9 1/2” long. To adjust the
length add or subtract the number of rings used.)
Make 7 of these rings:
Ch 30. Being careful not to twist chain, join with a sl st to first ch to form
ring.
Round 1: Ch 1, sc in same ch as joining and in each ch around; join with a
sl st to the first sc
Rounds 2-4: Ch 1, sc in same st as joining and in each st around; join with
a sl st to the first sc
Round 5: (joining round) Fold piece into a “tube bracelet” shape, matching
stitches of round 4 with the base of the foundation chain. Join the back loop
of the stitches of round 4 to the base stitches of the foundation chain with sl
sts (you should have 30 sl sts.) Fasten off. Weave in ends.
Handles
Make 2 of these:
Ch 60. Being careful not to twist chain, join with a sl st to first ch.
Round 1: Sl st in each ch around. Fasten off. Weave in ends.
Assembly
Step 1: Fold 2 of the small rings in half and lay one across the other in the
center to form an “X” shape. Pull the ends of the bottom ring up and around
the other ring. Fold one of the handles in half. Insert one end of this handle
through both loops of this ring. Draw up a loop in the handle. Draw the
other end of the handle through this loop; pull to close tightly.
Step 2: Fold another small ring in half and insert through both loops of the
original ring (the one without the handle inserted.) Pull through until the
loops formed by this new ring are even.
Step 3: Fold another small ring in half and insert through both loops of the
last small ring. Pull through until the loops formed by this new ring are
even.
Step 4: Repeat step 3 until all the small rings are used.
Step 5: Fold the other handle in half. Insert one end of this handle through
both loops of the last ring. Draw up a loop in the handle. Draw the other
end of the handle through this loop; pull to close tightly.
