Making Crochet Nylon Net Scrubbies

May 26, 2012

Making Crochet Nylon Net Scrubbies, Crochet nylon net scrubber.I like net scrubbies, but I had no luck in trying to crochet them. So I folded the netting in half then in half again and cut 3, 2 inch strips. I knotted the top and braided them to the bottom and made another knot. Then I coiled it and used a large needle and plastic, fine fishing line or plastic thread to catch all the coils, using a pliers when the needle would not go through easily. Now I have a nice thick scrubbie and am very pleased. Works good, too.

Type in "free crochet patterns" on the internet and see what you come up with. I used to be a member of a site that had free patterns, but I don't remember what it was called.

Try:
www.allfreecrochet.com
www.bestfreecrochet.com
www.crochetnmore.com
www.favecrafts.com
www.crochetmemories.com

Also, any of the web sites for the yarn companies (Lion Brand; Red Heart; Caron; etc.) usually have free patterns. And as "thriftyvicki" stated, just type in "free crochet patterns". You'll be surprised at what you get.

I use old shower puffs. Usually you can find them at yard sales and thrift stores because people get the small ones free with something else.

I use plastic net bags from produce. Onions and garlic bags, mostly. I collect until I have several of the same color.

I tie my pieces together with square knots, because they are very strong, yet small enough they can rarely be seen.

To make a two sided pot scrubber, just crochet two face scrubbies and single crochet them together. You can find pattern here: noelwright.blogspot.com

Anyone in Thrifty Fun Land know how to use nylon net and a bleach bottle handle to make a scrubby? My rug hooking group is crocheting net scrubbies to use as a lint brush, and one of the ladies mentioned she used to have one with a handle.

I can't find directions or photos anywhere on line. She described it as a handle with a nylon net (tulle) pom pom on the end. Thanks in advance!

I made some years ago, but never had a pattern. I cut my nylon into strips and just wrapped it around the handle 2 layers thick (the side where the scrubby will be).

Then came back the third time and started crocheting off of where I had wrapped it.

I would poke a hole in the bleach handle and start crocheting around the hole, and then crochet in rounds until you have it the size you want.

When I try to crochet a pot scrubber with nylon netting it comes out with a totally frayed look from the cut edges. The stitches are not distinct so it is difficult to find the hole for the next stitch. I am looking at a scrubber that I purchased and the stitches are very obvious and it has a very neat look. What am I not doing wrong?

It's possible that you are cutting the strips in the wrong direction.
Here is a good tutorial:
noelwright.blogspot.com/.../pattern-for-crochet-pot-scrubber...

 
January 22, 20120 found this helpful

You might try a larger hook to start the first one, till you get the hang of it. I found several patterns on the internet and a youtube video of how to do it. You might be cutting the nylon strip too small, or the netting is on the larger size which might fray on the edges more.

I have found crocheting with cotton yarn helps to keep the nylon from fraying too. I used red netting and tan cotton yarn. Hope this helps.

One thing to do is to lay things out in the sun. That tends to eradicate smells.

activated charcoal and vinegar will both also neutralize the smell

you can purchase activated charcoal here: https://www.ama al+smell+remover

and as far as vinegar, just leave them in an enclosed space with an open dish of white vinegar (make sure that it cannot fall over!) for a day or so. This should help dissipate the smells.

This is Heloise's suggestion for a crochet method:

www.indeonline.com/.../HELOISE-HINTS-Make-nylon-net-scrubbies...

I used to make them all the time the "lazy way", using a red or brown net potato or onion sack (now we have some pans I can't use them so I don't make as many). It is three easy steps:

1. cut off the metal holders at the end if there are any

2. shape the piece until it looks like an old fashioned hair net (round circle with the rough edges),

3. started folding the edges in on themselves (its a rolling/tucking move)...just keep turning and rolling/tucking. This forms a nice oval pad, when I was done, viola....a scrubbie--about the size of a Brillo pad for free!

I would use it a until it got too greasy (usually two-three times) then I would pull it back apart, stuff it with old yarn/fabric scraps, tie with a piece of string and hang near the bird feeder and off of the trees for birds to pull out strands yarn/threads for nesting (this was a regular spring thing for me!).

In the other seasons, I always felt guilty when I tossed them, but leaving greasy plastic around just attracts critters and I didn't want that! Sometimes you have to be penny-wise on things!

If I can enlist one of the teens in my world to shoot a video me making one! That could be fun!!!

Stiff nylon netting scraps make great scrubbers for dishes, car bumpers/windows, bathroom porcelain, and removing paint with stripper. Their holes catch raised food/dirt/paint and remove it. Nylon net is perfectly paired with baking soda as an abrasive, as both will not leave scratches on surfaces you're cleaning.
