   About the Cat Scrubbie… I don’t understand in Row 1 how I can dc in next 5 dc and then 2 dc in next dc… All I have is a chain of 12. no dc’s yet.

   I’m assuming you use a cotton yarn for this? acrylic really doesn’t make a nice scrubbie….and probably will not do the job.

   I also would like clarification of Row 1. the first comment from another Carol is correct. (I’m another Carol, and I don’t get it either!) We have a chain of 12 – WHERE are the dc we’re supposed to dc in?
   is there a row missing?
   I’d try this, but that would have to be clarified first….I am running out of time for all the gifties I have to make!
   It is cute…can you clarify, please? there’s not a reply to that question.

     Hi Carol,

     Mary is correct. you’re just dcing into the chains.

     For body, cotton yarn is better, but some people like to use up their scratchier acrylic yarns for dish scrubbies because they scrub better than softer yarns.

   I think it’s just a typo in Row 1, it should read chain where she typed dc (dc in next 5 ch, not next 5 dc) and so on thru the row.
