Crochet Pinwheel Kitchen Pad and Scrubber Set Tutorial

Here is an easy pattern for a crochet pinwheel kitchen pad and scrubber set. This set is made in Tunisian crochet; however, you only need a regular plain crochet hook to make these. This technique is considered Tunisian in the Round using Short Rows.

For example, you can use the larger pad as a hot pad or pot holder. Or you can use the smaller one as a dishcloth or scrubbie. They work up very quickly and make nice gifts.

Tunisian in The Round Pinwheel Colors Using Short Rows

You can have a lot of fun with colors in this crochet pinwheel pattern. The swirls add an opportunity to use one color, two colors, or multiple colors. What a great way to use up those scraps of yarn!

Additionally, you can make your pinwheel rainbow colors. This color selection makes the items look like a beach ball. Or you can use maybe red and white to make a cute peppermint for Christmas.

Tunisian Crochet

This pattern uses the Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS) throughout. It is an easy stitch to do, once you’ve seen it done. If you are unfamiliar with this, I have a beginner Tunisian crochet tutorial here.

Most importantly, you can use a regular crochet hook because this pattern is worked from the center outwards. You do not need a special Tunisian crochet hook with either of these two patterns. However if you feel more comfortable using one, feel free to do so!

To sum it up, I think you will like this pattern! It is a different way to do Tunisian crochet. Plus you can make something very useful in one night.
