Materials Needed
Each piece takes under ¼ oz of any color 100% #4 worsted weight cotton yarn Size H crochet hook
Scissors and Darning Needle
Scrubby
Using #4 Cotton Yarn and Size H (5.0mm) Hook
Round 1: The Foundation
Chain 11.
Step 1: Dc in the 4th ch from the hook (the skipped 3 chs count as your 1st dc).
Step 2: Dc in each of the next 6 chs.
Step 3 (Curve A): In the very last ch, work 5 dc.
This turns the corner.
Step 4: Now working along the bottom of the ch, dc in the next 7 chain.
Step 5 (Curve B): In the base at the bottom of the starting Ch-3, work 5 dc. (This looks crowded but it is necessary to get the texture right.)
Step 6: Join with a sl st to the top of the Ch-3. (26 sts)
Round 2
The First Side (Straight):
Ch 2 (this does not count as a st, creates the height needed for the first dc).
Dc in the first st.
BPdc around the next st.
Repeat [dc in next st, BPdc around next st] 3 more times.
(You have now worked 8 sts total across the1st straight side).
The First Curve (Increases): We will increase in the 5 stitches that formed the curve in Round 1.
[2 dc in the next st, BPdc around the next st] 2 times.
Make 2 dc in the next st.
(You have added 3 extra stitches here. Total curve stitches: 8).
The Second Side (Straight):
BPdc around the next st.
Dc in the next st.
Repeat [BPdc around next st and dc in next st] 3 more times.
(8 sts total for the straight back-side).
The Second Curve (Increases): We will increase in the 6 sts that formed the second curve in Round 1.
[BPdc around the next st, make 2 dc in the next st] 3 times.
(You have added 3 extra sts here. Total curve sts: 9).
Closing:
Join with a sl st to the 1st dc (not the ch-2). (33 sts)
Round 3
The First Side (Straight):
Ch 2 (does not count as a stitch, but acts as the height for the first dc).
Dc in the first stitch.
BPdc around the next Bpdc stitch.
Repeat [dc in next, BPdc around next] 3 more times.
The First Curve (Increases)
2 dc in the next stitch.
Dc in the next st.
[ BPdc around next st, 2 dc in next st, dc in the next st] 2 times.
The Second Side (Straight):
[ BPdc around next, dc in the next st] 4 times.
The Second Curve (Increases)
[BPdc around next, 2 dc in next st, dc
in the next st] 3 times.
Squeeze a bpdc around the beg st.
Closing:
Join with a sl st to the first dc (not the ch-2). (40 sts)
Round 4.Ch 1 and sl st in the next st around.
Join to the beginning st with a sl st. End off and weave in the end.
