• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends and sewing on features

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your project. This will form the base of your scrubby.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the ring to tighten it.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around. You should have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: (Sc in the next stitch, increase in the next stitch) repeat around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Round 4: (Sc in the next 2 stitches, increase in the next stitch) repeat around. You should have 24 stitches now.
6. Round 5: (Sc in the next 3 stitches, increase in the next stitch) repeat around. You will have 30 stitches at the end of this round.
7. Rounds 6-10: For the next five rounds, simply sc in each stitch around. This will create the body of the scrubby.
8. Round 11: (Sc in the next 3 stitches, decrease over the next 2 stitches) repeat around. You should have 24 stitches left.
9. Round 12: (Sc in the next 2 stitches, decrease over the next 2 stitches) repeat around. You will have 18 stitches remaining.
10. Round 13: (Sc in the next stitch, decrease over the next 2 stitches) repeat around. You should have 12 stitches left.
11. Stuffing: Lightly stuff your scrubby with cotton or a dish scrubby pad for added functionality.
12. Round 14: Decrease over each 2 stitches around. You should have 6 stitches remaining. Pull the yarn tight to close the hole.
13. Fasten Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Weave in the ends securely.
14. Create the Ears: For the ears, make 2. Chain 4, sc in the 2nd chain from the hook, half double crochet (hdc) in the next chain, and double crochet (dc) in the last chain. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
15. Attach the Ears: Sew the ears onto the top of the scrubby, positioning them to give your cat a playful look.
16. Embroider the Face: Using white yarn, embroider simple eyes and whiskers onto your cat scrubby to bring it to life.
