This week’s scrubbie is made from a stitch I first used on the wings of my “hoot and waddle” pattern. The “feather” side is puffy and the back is perfect for scrubbing.

As part of my quest to work on gifts throughout the year I will be sharing a different scrubbie pattern each week throughout 2015.
All featured scrubbie patterns will be on the “DIY cleaning & Organizing” Board.

Have you ever seen a scrubbie made with one strand of cotton yarn and a strip of nylon net? It was crocheted or maybe knitted.
I always have a hard time following patterns. I know the basic stitches but what is BLO? That is not explained in the instructions for the crochet scrubbie. An explanation would be helpful to those of us who are newbies or don’t usually follow patterns.
Thanks.
It stands for Back Loop Only. Here is a great video to help: https://www.mooglyblog.com/front-loop-only-flo-and-back-loop-only-blo/
