Crochet Your Own Tube Sponge


Would you like to make your very own Tube Sponge? Finally, your dream can come true!

Sponges are one of the most primitive animals in the ocean. The poor things don't even have any organs, and their skeletons get recruited to scrub our dishes. How demeaning.

Instructions:

Choose your yarn. I recommend using 4-6 complementary colors, but you can do whatever you'd like!

Chain 7
Turn and single crochet 6
Repeat for 9 to 20 rows (depending on how long you want that tube to be)
Finish off, pulling the yarn tail down through the tube.
Tie that tail to the other (starting) end of the piece of yarn.
Pull both ends into the tube. Pull hard and trim them off so that when you let go, they disappear inside the tube.

Make about 12-20 tubes of different heights and then sew them side by side in a pleasing arrangement. You may use thread and a sewing needle or yarn and a tapestry needle. Again, hide the tail ends of your thread or yarn inside the sponge.
