I did double crochet.. but, to make it have scrubbing power, I did something called "Front Post Double Crochet" which I learned from this website: http://www.crochetkitten.com/tutorials/fpdc.html it's very easy to do, and will teach you a new trick to make interesting designs.

I also recently taught myself to crochet. It's so much fun.. check out some of the crochet stuff on my blog for good beginners stuff to make ( I just started maybe a month ago). http://raisingexplorers.blogspot.com/search/label/crochet I've posted pics of a present I made for my dad's birthday - a coaster set I designed to look like pool balls for his pool table room, and a very ambitious teddy bear I made for my son.. among more stuff.
