How to Crochet a Back Scratcher
A crocheted back scratcher folds easily and can be used anywhere to relieve those itches you just can't reach. The raised stitches are gentle on your skin but effective in reaching your entire back. This pattern doubles as a scrubber for removing dead skin and washing your back in the shower.
