The fun thing about this super quick scrubby is the fact that the back is the part with the cool pattern while the front is the more functional scrubby side. Being knit with two strands together makes it a quick and easy project perfect for last minute gift exchanges. (I made my mine for a white elephant and knit it up sporadically over the course of a couple of days.) You can knit up a bundle in a snap. I haven't actually gotten to try one out yet, but the front is fairly dense and nubby so I imagine it scrubs like a dream. :)
Yarn
Any two colours of your favourite cotton “dishrag” yarn. I used Lily Sugar and Cream in Black and Softly Taupe. This little scrubby probably won't even take half a ball.
Needles
9US (I used aluminum) Yarn or Tapestry needle
Gauge
I couldn't tell you and I'm not sure how much it matters. It's just a scrubby. ;) My final piece measured roughly 6”x5”
Knit holding both colours together. When doing a YO use one colour or the other NOT BOTH.

I hope you have enjoyed knitting up this little pattern as much as I enjoyed knitting it up myself. Let me know how it works. I can't wait to make one for myself! :)
