A friend of mine introduced me to a popular Japanese scrubbing cloth called a Tawashi about a year ago and I just can't rave enough about them. For starter's, they get the dishes super clean and when crocheted with a fine fibre acrylic yarn they help the environment by putting less detergent into our lakes, rivers and oceans. Plus, they are stinkin' cute!
The Sunflower tawashi pattern was created in my dreams one night after looking online for a nubby scrub. I decided it would be faster to write a pattern then look for a free one. They turned out so adorable I just have to share the pattern and spread the love.
