I have been trying to find the perfect scrubber and am hoping this is the ticket.

These take about 2 grams of yarn. It takes me about 12 minutes to make one.

Start with Magic Ring
Ch 3, 11 DC into ring, join with a slip stitch. (12)
Ch 3, DC into same Stitch, 2 DC into each DC, join with a slip stitch (24)
Ch 2, (2 HDC into next stitch, HDC into next) repeat around ended with 2 HDC in last stich (36)
Join with sl st.
