Crocheted Pot Scratcher
Materials
1. Nylon Netting
-buy 10-15 yards of nylon netting in any color (not fine vieling). 10 yards makes a smaller pot scratcher, 15 yards makes a larger one.
- stretch it out lengthwise leaving it folded in the center (the way it comes) and cut it into 5" strips across
- roll up the strips and ruber band them. 1 set will make a lot!
2. Size N crochet hook
Directions
this is a very "loose" pattern. it is not that important to be exact, because it will work out and also because it's just a pot scratcher. so don't stress out and approximating is fine
1. Mark strip 1/2 way with a black marker
2. Rolling nylon into crochetable shape, ch 15 (about 3"/enough to make a small circle) leaving about a 2" tail
3. Sl St into first chain to make a circle
4. ch 1 then SC about halfway around the circle
5. do 1 SC inc (2 SC in 1 stitch) when you about halfway through
6. continue SC around the rest of the circle, sl st to join
7. repeat steps 4-6 until you reach the halfway mark
8. ch 1 then SC about halway around the circle
9. skip 1 SC about halfway around then SC the rest of the way around the circle, sl st to join
10. repeat steps 8-9 until you have finished with about a 2" tail at the end. Knot off the ends to secure
11. You will have a cylinder that tapers to the end
12. pull the tails through the middle and flatten into pot scratcher shape
13. Pull tails through a few times (they should be on opposite sides) leaving enough to pull through and knot a few times
14. Pull 1 tail through so the tails are on the same side and knot them together
15. pull tails through to teh other side and knot them together
15. Weave rest of tail ends into pot scratcher and finish shaping pot scratcher by stretching/pulling
this is the smaller size pot scratcher made with 10 yards
