- Loose Edges: If your edges are uneven, check your tension throughout the rounds; try to maintain even pressure on the yarn.
- Uneven Shape: Ensure you are counting your stitches accurately. It’s easy to miss one in the excitement of making your scrubby!
- Stiffness: If the scrubby feels too stiff, your tension may be too tight, try using a slightly larger hook next time.
Care and Storage
To maintain your scrubby, rinse it after each use and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can decrease the scrubbing effectiveness. Here are more tips for care:
- Machine wash cold with mild detergent.
- Do not bleach.
- Air dry; do not machine dry.
