In an effort to help the environment, we made our own facial scrubbies - these are great! You use them to wash your face, throw in the wash, and reuse. One problem, they lay around the sink, fall out of the stack and make a mess. So we designed a basket to hold the little buggers. Here's how we did it:
Basket
Great scrap buster project because it uses small amounts of cotton yarn (I used Sugar and Cream)
Scrubbies: Make 7
Ch3, 12 dc in 3rd ch from hook. Join and ch1.
2dc in each ch across (24)
Finish off and sew in the ends.
If you prefer a larger scrubbie, add a 3rd round by joining, ch1 and dc same stitch, *2dc next, dc next ch*, – repeat around

For the lid pull:
Cut 2 pieces of yarn about 6-8 in. long, fold in half and make a knot about an inch or so down from the uncut loop end. Thread the loose ends in the center hole of lid, knotting underneath. This leaves the loops sticking up to use to open the lid!
Quick, easy, customizable and makes a great gift for everyone. Perfect little stocking stuff or a co-worker gift.
