Welcome to the project of the week! This week we will be making Scratchies!
We have created a video for you to fallow along with along with writen instunctions!
Enjoy!
Background:
Scratchie’s are made from nylon netting. Nylon netting unlike tulle is ruff and great for cleaning dishes, general cleaning, scraping BBQs, and pots and pans. The best use for a Scratchie is stainless steel pot and pans along with non-stick pots and pans. Scratchie's are gentle enough to us on pot and pan with the strength to get rid of tough stuck on food.
Life span:
Scratchie’s have a life span of about one to two years depending on the use. They are dishwasher and machine washer safe.

Materials Needed:
2 yards of Nylon netting of your choosing (we have chosen purple)
Crochet hook size J (6mm)
1 stitch marker
Yard stick or ruler
Rotary cutting mat
Rotary cutter
Scissors
How to make a Magic Ring:
Make a large loop by putting the yarn tail behind the working yarn (the yarn coming from the skein), leaving at least a six-inch tail until you become familiar with this method. Later, you may leave a shorter tail if desired.
With your hook, draw the working yarn through the loop, so you have one loop on the hook.
How you hold the loop while you work the stitches into it is personal preference, but I find it convenient to put both my pinky and ring finger inside the loop to hold it tight.
Dc into the loop, crocheting over the tail. Continue to work as many dcs as needed for you pattern into the loop. (Don’t forget to keep crocheting over the tail.) When you are finished working stitches into the loop, you will likely find that the tail has curled around the loop a few times. To make it easier to draw the loop closed, first untwist the tail; then pull the tail to draw the loop closed. You can leave an open hole in the center or draw it closed very tightly.
