Tutor’s Suggestions
-
Master the Double Crochet First: The tutor recommends practicing the double crochet stitch separately before starting the project to ensure even tension.
-
Single Color for First Timers: If you are a total beginner, try the entire project in one solid color first to avoid the confusion of managing multiple yarns.

Expert Tip
If you use standard “Well-being” or thin scrubber yarn, the final product might feel a bit thin. The tutor suggests using two strands of yarn simultaneously to create a thicker, more professional-feeling scrubber that holds its shape better.
