Basket of Scrubbies

This weeks focus is personal gifts that you can make in one day or less. The first pattern for this week was released on Tuesday, called The Spa Day Set . In keeping with the theme, today's pattern is a useful item that would be great for the people on your list who are eco conscious. These face scrubbies are not only reusable but the yarn used to make them is made from recycled denim jeans! That's a double eco gift!

Here we go a skein, fresh off the hook:

                                                      Basket of Scrubbies

Like all the patterns here, this is an easy pattern great for crocheters of all skill levels. The face scrubbies are done in sc, hdc, and dc stitches and are complete in 5 rounds.

The mini basket for the scrubbies in done in hdc stitches with a reverse sc edging, and is complete in 8 rounds.

You can pair the basket of scrubbies up with a unique bar of soap to make a nice gift!

I hope you enjoy the third make in a day pattern! Next week is stocking stuffer week!

Have a hooky day! Lynne

Spa Day Set

This week we will continue with gifts you can make in one day or less, with the focus on useful items that some would consider personal. When I was teaching, I would make small gifts for the office staff and they really liked getting personal handmade gifts!

Here we go a skein, make in a day #2:

                                      The Spa Day Set

This gift set includes a crochet wash cloth and a crochet bath puff, both made out of cotton dk yarn, using single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet stitches. You can make up this gift set with 1 skein of yarn and complete it in less than a day!

These easy to make bath puffs are eco-friendly and can replace those old plastic bath puffs.

The wash cloth has a open design, which allows for quick drying. Both the wash cloth and bath puff can washed in the washer as long as you put them in a garment bag and wash them in cold water. They will need to be air dried as dryers can be harsh.

                                                                                                                                                      To give as a gift, you can put the Spa Day Set in a gift bag or small basket, with a bar of soap, body lotion, bubble bath, or a bath bomb.                                                                                                                           

This is a great gift for a friend, neighbor, or teacher!

I hope you enjoy the second make in a day pattern!

Have a hooky day! Lynne
