I think it’s fun to make small dish scrubbies, and when looking for a pattern for the kitchen swap I found this one:
As with many free patterns, you have to put up with a fair bit of ads. However, there are clear instructions and also a video on how to roll it up. Plus, the pattern was very easy to get the hang of.
I used a yarn that appears to be discontinued, according to ravelry:

I bought it 10+ years ago, so I’m not surprised it’s not sold anymore. It’s acrylic and polyester, and very scratchy. In other words: perfect to scrub dishes with!
I did some modifications. It’s not as long as called for in the original pattern, since my yarn is probably thicker and/or stiffer than the yarn called for. I did a test roll now and then, and started the decreases when it seemed right. I also added a simple loop since I had a bit of yarn left. I could just hang it from any of the holes, but this way I can hang it while rolled up too.
Here are the tawashi I sent, with one unrolled. The green one was extra short since I didn’t have more yarn in that colourway. It has a bit of a hole in the middle, but should still work I hope!
