Materials Needed
Yarn – For these scrubbies, you will hold two strands of yarn together and treat them like one very thick piece of yarn. Because of this, you can play with colors and come up with the perfect stash-busting combo!
These don’t require much yarn, and it’s a great opportunity to use some scrap cotton yarn you have lying around. An entire skein can be used to make multiple scrubbies!
I used approximately 50 yards of some cotton yarn I had leftover from another project. 100 yards total because I double-stranded these scrubbies. (50 yards of each color)
Crochet Hook – Size I (5.5mm) (This is the one I use religiously)
Yarn Needle & Scissors
Abbreviations:
DC – Double Crochet
Sc– Single Crochet
Hdc – Half Double Crochet
Sl st- Slip Stitch
Ch- Chain
To Begin in double-stranded cotton yarn:
This starts with a magic ring. If you’ve been avoiding patterns that use them, here’s my magic ring tutorial – it’s less complicated than it sounds.
OR ch3, sc in 1st stitch to form a ring. Ch2
Round 1: 12 DC in the ring join, ch 2 (12 st)
Next Round 2: 2 DC in each of the next 8 st leave the rest unworked, ch 1, turn
Round 3: 1 SC in each of the next 6st, 2sc in each of the next 4 st, 1 sc in each of the last 6 st. (20st) DO NOT TURN
Border:
Put 2sc in the same stitch where you ended the previous row, and then continue around the bottom and outside, putting 1 sc in each st until you get to the other side.
Put 3 SC in the last st, fasten off, break yarn, and weave in ends.
At this point, you can be done with your crochet face scrubby, or you can make the handy strap attached to the back that helps you hold on to it.
Strap:
In double-stranded yarn, ch 12. Hdc in each st across (11 st)
Turn your work so the short side is on top, and put 2 sc across the end, then 3 sc in the 1st st of the starting row. Continue putting 1 sc in each st across the bottom. Put 2 sc in the last st, 2 sc across the top, fasten off, and leave a long tail for sewing.
Attach the strap on both sides of the crochet face scrubby at the bottom with a whip stitch on each side. Break yarn, weave in ends.
And Voila! Your crochet face scrubby is complete!
Make a stack of these and never run out of things to wash your face with again.
