Spiral Scarf

This pattern is a knit pattern for a spiral scarf. 

Materials: Any of the Ruffled Yarns like Starbella, Trendsetter Flamenco, Rozetti Marina, etc... I used Chrysalis from Hobby Lobby in a solid black with size 7 knitting needles.

Gauge is not important for this scarf.

Since the yarn already has loops in it, it makes for an easy cast on and knit.  Simply place the first loop of the inside edge on the needle and then the loop next to it etc... until you have the thickness that you desire.  If you want a thin scarf like this one, only CO 2.  If you want it thicker, you may want to cast on 6-10 sts.

Knit back and forth until desired length.  Yarn will naturally spiral.  Here's the one that I made for my grandmother.

Simple Pot Scrubby


This pattern is for a very simple pot scrubber.  

For this pattern you will need approx 14 yards of nylon netting cut down to 2-3" strips, there should be 2 of these if you are using a 6" wide netting.  You can use any hook size but I used a K 6.5mm hook for this one which measures about 3.25" in diameter using exactly 14 yards of netting.


NOTE: This scrubby is worked in a round.  Ch 1 does NOT count as a sc so be sure to start each round in same stitch as ch 1. 


To start, ch 3, slip into first stitch ch 1, loop made
Round 1: 8 sc in center of loop, slip into first sc, ch 1 = 8 sc
Begin increase rounds
Round 2: 2 sc in each sc around, slip into first sc, ch 1 = 16 sc
Round 3: *2 sc in first sc, 1 sc* repeat around.  Slip into first sc, ch 1 = 24sc
Round 4: *2 sc in first sc, 1 sc, 1 sc* repeat around.  Slip into first sc, ch 1 = 32sc
Round 5: sc in each sc around.  Slip into first sc, ch 1 = 32sc
Begin decrease rounds
Round 6: *sc2tog, sc, sc* repeat around, slip into first sc, ch 1 = 24 sc
Round 7: *sc2tog, sc* repeat around, slip into first sc, ch 1 - 16 sc
Round 8: sc2tog around, slip into first sc, ch 1 = 8 sc
Round 9: sc in each sc around, slip into first sc = 8 sc


Weave in end.  When I weave in the end, I sewed the front and back together to make it flatter.
