This looks like a really cool pattern! This is about the only knitted circular scrubbie pattern that I can find.

I was thinking of doing this using a double strand (1 of yarn and 1 of nylon netting cut into strips like yarn). I've other patterns like that but they are usually just flat scrubbies. Have you tried that with this pattern and did it work? If not, I will try and see how it works. If I can find my way back here (and I remember LOL), I will let you know how it turns out.

Thanks for doing the YouTube video on this and posting a link to your site for the pattern. You might want to edit this blog to include the YouTube link to your videos in case someone finds this first. It was really helpful for me to understand how to stitch the scrubbie together to make it circular.

Thank you Becky! :)

I have not tried making a scrubbie with the netting yet. I think about it every time I buy lemons! LOL I think, "Oh I should cut this netting up and knit a scrubbie with it". but I have not done it yet.

Good idea on linking to youtube here. I will do that. :)
