Today’s Project
On the seventh day of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway, my true love gave to me…this Knit Santa Belly Scrubby Pattern from Red Heart!
MATERIALS
- RED HEART® Scrubby™: 1 skein each 905 Cherry A, 10 Coconut B, 12 Black C
- RED HEART® Super Saver®: 1 skein 324 Bright Yellow D
- Susan Bates® Knitting Needles: 5 mm [US 8]
- Yarn Bobbins
- Yarn needle

- GAUGE: 18 sts = 4″ [10 cm]; 24 rows = 4″ [10 cm] in Garter Stitch. CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size needle to obtain the gauge.
Santa Belly Scubby measures: 7″ x 6½” (18 x 16 cm)
Garter Stitch
Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches.
Row 2 (Wrong Side): Knit all stitches. Repeat Rows 1-2 for Garter Stitch.
NOTES
Belt is worked separately then attached to surface of fabric with sewing needle and thread. Belt Buckle is worked in Garter stitch Intarsia, to avoid carrying yarn across back of work, wind 2 bobbins with D. When working in Intarsia and changing colors, remember to twist yarn on Wrong Side to prevent holes in work.
