Your new favorite scrubbie: a cute, brightly colored crochet watermelon scrubbie!
I just love this Scrubby yarn from Red Heart. It is so fun and makes it easy to crochet a scrubbie. No cutting strips of netting or toole anymore.
After making the watermelon coasters, I knew I had to try and make a watermelon scrubbie.
I am pleased with how this patterned turned out! It was actually pretty simple to create.

PATRICIA says
like this watermelon scrubby only thing i dony understand is you said every 6th stitch you
changed to black yarn for the seeds do you do only one stitch in black for whole row or what
and what rows did you do the seeds love this is it hard to seed the stitches

Hi Patricia. Sorry, I have been without Internet today. Someone cut a wire someplace.
On just round 2 I used black yarn. I did 5 pink stitches, then changed to black for one stitch (to make the seed), then back to pink for 5 stitches, then one black stitch. I just spaced them out so it looked like there were seeds in the watermelon. So only round 2 contains the “seeds”.
I hope that helps. Thanks!

How many scrubbys can I get out of one red heart scrubby yarn?
devon says
Hi Sandra!
I have not used a full bundle yet. I would guess you could get 4 or more. You should be able to make several without problems.

What I might try is the green scrubby SPARKLE for the edge!

Red Heart have a watermelon scrubby made entirely of the Sparkle. It’s bigger but I think the way Devon crochets in the seeds is better than the Red Heart pattern.
That’s a good idea about the Sparkle just on the last round, ‘though.

I like making the scrubby. I take one scrubby yarn and a cotton yarn that I make my dishcloth out of, and crochet them together to make them thicker. Don’t have any sparkle yarn at my Joann’s so I just improvised. Thank you.

Good idea!! Thanks for sharing your different way of making the scrubbie. :)
