  1. This pattern is such an easy way to incorporate different colors into knitting- because it’s slipped stitches, it’s only one color at a time.

    I used it for a washcloth and a swiffer cloth. I need more swiffer cloths now! They are fantastic.

  2. Where do I find this scrubbie pattern? I have tried flickr but not there. I want to knit them. It’s the onlpattern I like so far The round one with different colors…

  3. Would love to have the scrubbie pattern. I use them all the time and they are fantastic. I am also a quilter but love to do other hand made projects as well. Thank you.

  4. Can anyone figure out how to do the scrubbie in crochet and get a swir., I tried with a self=striping yarn and it did not turn out near as pretty.

Knit a Glasses Holder for Your Bedside Table

knit glasses holder

Not too long ago I was seeing a crochet pattern for a glasses holder shaped like a bear all over the Internet. It was super cute, and also useful as a place to put your glasses on your bedside table instead of just throwing them somewhere random.

This project stewed in my brain for a little while and I decided I needed to make a knit version, but I didn’t want to make a bear. If you know anything about me you might know that I’m a cat person, so of course my version had to be a cat.

The base is just a basic little basic worked from the center out to the desired size, then up the sides as long as you want them. Knit some ears and add embellishments to make it whatever kind of animal you want.

The way I figured out to work the base from the center out was to use a crochet cast on, which gives you an easier way to pick up stitches from the back of the cast on than if you worked a more traditional cast on for a knitting project. It’s kind of fun to do things in a different way from time to time.

This little project is adorable if I do say so myself, and even as a plain little basket not made into an animal it’s a cute way to keep your glasses or other little things in one place. I’m tempted to make one for my desk to hold pens or even little little scissors and sewing needles that are always on my desk but somehow always seem to get lost on my desk.

If you need a little holder for your glasses on your table, check out the pattern at Our Daily Craft.
