*HDC INC, 3 HDC*; repeat * three times, working in BLO. 3DC BLO into each of next 8 ST. *HDC INC, 3HDC*; repeat * working in BLO to end of round. HDC into BLO of next two stitches (in order to center the finger loop with the bottom shell pattern). CH 10 and rejoin with SL ST into next ST for finger loop.

Spiral Layers

Working in reverse back down the spiral to the center of the scrubbie, make a DC in the front loop of each stitch in the spiral.

To Finish

Fasten off and pull working yarn through the middle of the magic ring to the back of your work. Tighten the magic ring, then weave in your ends.
