Easy Christmas Crochet Scrubby Gift*

Alright, if you have to do dishes this yarn is great. 

It could have been more candy cane -

but, this was the first one I made. You will see lots of mistakes. I gave most of them away, except for that one and the one for the Cleveland Browns. As you can see, I decided that I needed to get my stitch count back, so I added yarn. I don't have a dishwasher, so, I wash everything by hand. That scrubby in the picture is over a year old. I think that it has held up well.
