If you have been following me on Instagram for a while, you probably know that I taught summer school at my church this past summer. I taught kindergarten and worked with co-teachers that are very big fans of anime and manga. I have never seen Totoro in my 30 some years and watched it for the first time in summer school. What a fun movie!
After watching it once, I drove out to the store with my kids and bought the movie so that my kids could watch it at home too. They loved it and Totoro has become a favorite in our house.
Soot sprites are little dirt gremlins in the movie. Despite their dirty nature, I decided to make a dish sponge in hopes to "make them clean". I hope you enjoy this pattern!

The Body
Using your licorice color, make a MR.
Round 1: ch2, 12 dc into the MR, slst to the top of the ch2 (13)
Close your MR by pulling on the tail. You may make a knot to keep the ring closed.
Round 2: ch2, dc in the same st where your ch 2 is coming from, 2 dc in all sts to the end, slst to the top of the ch2 (26)
Round 3: ch 2, 2 dc in the next st, *dc in the next st, 2 dc in the following st* repeat to the end, slst to the top of the ch2 (39)
Round 4-5: ch 2, dc in each st to the end of the round, slst to the top of the ch2 (39)
Round 6: ch 2, dc decrease,* dc in the next st, dc decrease* repeat to the end, sl st to the top of the ch2 (26)
Round 7: ch2, dc in the next st, dc decrease to the end, slst to the top of the ch2 (14)
Round 8: ch2, dc in the next st, dc decrease, *dc in the next st, dc decrease in the following st* repeat til you have 2 sts left, dc decrease, slst into the top of the ch2 (9)
Fasten off and close the circle. Knot it off and weave in your end.
Flatten your sponge.
Eyes
Using the licorice color, make a MR.
Round 1: ch 1 (doesn’t count as a st), 6 sc into the MR (6)
Round 2: switch to color marshmallow, ch 1 (counts as a st), sc in the same st where your ch 1 comes out from, 2 hdc in the next st, 2 dc in the next, 2 trc in the next st, 2 dc in the following st, 2 hdc in the next, slst to the top of the ch1 (12)
Fasten off and leave a tail to sew your eye onto the body of the scrubby.
Using your tapestry needles, sew on your eyes. The eyes should be sown on with the pupils closest to the middle of the body of the sponge, making the soot sprite look like it’s crossed eyed. Be sure to only go through the top layer of the sponge so that you don’t have random marshmallow yarn on the body.
Tag me in on Instagram with the hashtag #modestybylaura so I can see your little soot sprites.
Happy crocheting!

If you are looking for the perfect afghan to crochet, you have to make my X-O Afghan. The yarn used for this project is purely soft and makes for a cozy blanket.
One Saturday, my husband gave me a chance to break away from the kids and go shopping for yarn. I mean seriously, I think I have a yarn obsession. Anyways, I went into Michael's and browsed the yarn selection and came across some Caron Latte Cakes. I'm not, for one, into the cakes but I just had to touch this yarn. The yarn screamed lush and believe me when I say it is super cozy. My kids couldn't keep away from playing under this afghan when it was in progress.
Anyways, the one color that I liked from the bunch was called Blackberry. Unfortunately, there was only one skein of it. So I debated for a while, picking it up and putting it down, picking it up and putting it down. I couldn't decide what to do because there was only one skein. So eventually I bought it cause the feel of the yarn was just undeniable. I told myself that I would buy more online when Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales were happening. Just my luck, they were all sold out on Micheals.com! Ugh! So I ended up getting six skeins of a different color and I'm glad that I did because it came out beautifully in this afghan. If you don't plan to make this pattern, at least get some skeins of Caron Latte Cakes. It won't disappoint.
The pattern is made up of little bean, cross and double crochet stitches.
The little bean stitches represent your Os and the cross stitches are your Xs.
Hope you enjoy this pattern.
Materials
5 skeins of Caron Latte Cakes in color Kissy Kissy
6.5mm hook
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Abbreviations
FDC- foundationless double crochet
