Step 3: Round 2 Inc in each stitch around. This means you will work 2 sc in each of the 6 stitches from the previous round. You will have a total of 12 stitches at the end of this round.

Step 4: Round 3 Inc in the first stitch, sc in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern (Inc, sc) around the entire round. You will end up with 18 stitches in this round.

Step 5: Round 4 Inc in the first stitch, sc in the next two stitches. Repeat this pattern (Inc, sc, sc) around the entire round. You will have 24 stitches at the end of this round.

Step 6: Round 5 Sc in each stitch around. You should have 24 stitches in this round.

Step 7: Round 6 Repeat Round 5.

Step 8: Round 7 Repeat Round 5. At the end of this round, you can fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing up the scrubby.

Step 9: Finishing Thread your yarn needle with the long tail and weave it through the front loops (the outer loops) of each stitch in the last round. Pull it tight to cinch the opening closed. Weave in any remaining ends.
