I found this on YouTube when looking at the tutorial for a magic loop. I'll need to post the Magic Loop tutorial soon... so I do somethings backwards... too bad.. ;)

Edited to add:
I'm hoping to make one of these beanies.... I told Thomas that I'll knit him a hat someday.

Pot scrubber

Marnie’s Nylon Netting Pot Scrubber  15 yards of nylon netting (not tulle) I buy it this way because I hate tying the ends. Cut into 2 inch strips. You could use just 2 yards cut into 2 inch strips and tie the ends together if you wanted to do it that way  Chain 4 slip stitch in first chain to form ring. Ch 3, Put as many Dc in the ring as you can usually about 16. Slip Stitch in top of ch 3 Ch 3 dc in same stitch, 2 dc in each stitch around end with sl st in top of ch 3 Ch 1 sc in same st, sc in back loop of each stitch around sl st in 1st sc. Ch 1 sc in same st and each st around (both loops this time) sl st in 1st sc Ch 3, dc in back loop of every other sc, sl st in top of ch 3 Ch 3, dc in both loops of every other dc around sl st in top of 1st dc Leave long tail to finish off using large tapestry needle weave in between front and back layer all the way around the inner circle tie a knot and weave end in. Or you can do it the simple way and make 2 rounds like the beginning 2 rows and stitch 2 of them together I like mine all in one piece. Lots of times I do my first round in one color and the rest of it in another color then when you weave the ends in it looks like a flower. Please enjoy the pattern
