I love scrubby yarn, and this pattern is perfect for it! The pattern is so easy, you can make several in just a few days. This is the perfect gift for a new homeowner, new parents, or anyone you know who could use a new cloth. I love that there are so many different colors of scrubby yarn too, so you can make one for everyone you know, in the colors they love.
