Face Scrubbies

Hello crafters!

Welcome to my latest tutorial for crochet face scrubbies! I am always on the lookout for ways to reduce my household waste and this is one product that I use every morning. Ever since the micellar water trend started I have been using it as my morning cleanser with a cotton fluff. While I love the feeling of the cleanser I hate throwing out a cotton fluff every day and when it came time for me to buy a new bag I decided I would never buy another bag again 😮

This pattern is super simple and perfect for beginners! I actually timed myself and it took about ten minutes to make one face scrubby. I figure you will probably need to make at least seven so that you only have to do laundry once a week. So in just over an hour you can have your own set of face scrubbies ready to use. Let’s get started!

Supplies needed for this project

5mm crochet hook
Bernat Baby Blanket Tiny in “Clear Sky“
Bernat Baby Blanket Tiny in “Gray Owl“
Cute jar for storing your scrubbies

*A note about this yarn* most crochet face scrubbies are made with 100% cotton yarn which is awesome and easily washable. I chose to make mine with Bernat Baby Blanket Tiny because it is super soft and squishy! This yarn is polyester but it is tested and produced to be perfect for baby skin so that’s good enough for me.

Because of the texture of this yarn it can be a bit difficult to see your stitches, for this reason I recommend using a stitch marker at the beginning of each round. No need to purchase anything if you don’t have stitch markers; I often use bobby pins and they work great 🙂

Face scrubbies pattern

*Each round starts with a ch1 and ends with a slip stitch to join.

*Bobble stitch: yo, insert hook into stitch, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops on hook, yo, insert into same stitch, yo pull up a loop, yo pull through 2 loops on hook, yo, insert into same stitch, yo, pull up a loop, yo pull through 2 loops on hook, yo, insert hook into same stitch, yo, pull up a loop, yo pull through 2 loops on hook, yo pull through all 5 loops on hook

Make a magic circle

6sc into circle. Close circle.
Work 2sc into each stitch (12)
2sc in first stitch, bobble into next stitch. (2sc in next stitch, bobble in next stitch) Repeat ( ) around. (18)
2sc in each stitch around (36)
1sc BLO in each stitch around (36)

I am aware that this pattern doesn’t exactly follow the usual crochet circle math but I think that the size of the bobbles throws off the usual math a bit. I used trial and error to make the circle lie flat and this pattern works well for me!

Finishing off your face scrubbies

Once you have completed your face scrubbies tie in all of your ends and stack them into your jar! I wash and dry my scrubbies with the regular laundry and they do fine 🙂
