Crochet Face Scrubbies

So I had the brilliant idea of making a spa crochet gift package.  I started with these sweet, reusable, washable, crochet face scrubbies and then a horrible thing happened.  I didn’t want to give them away.  So guess what?  I kept them!  Sometimes I do that.  I probably secretly had that in mind all along because this lovely blue matches my beach themed bathroom just perfectly.

I found a lovely crochet cleansing pad pattern by Kara over at Petals to Picots which you can find here.  Hers is a very fine pattern and you might enjoy making it.  However, I decided I wanted petals that were a bit more defined, so here is my variation.  If you don’t want to use it as a scrubbie, it would make a very beautiful flower for embellishing as well.

Here is what you will need:

• worsted weight cotton yarn
• US H8/5 mm crochet hook
• tapestry needle, scissors.

Resources and tutorials you may find helpful in following this pattern: Crochet Abbreviations, US to UK Crochet Conversion Chart.  Find links to stitches on the “Tutorial” menu: Getting Started will show basic stitches used in many patterns and Crochet Stitch Dictionary shows our growing collection of crochet stitch tutorials.

Make a magic ring.

Rows 1-4 are worked the same as in Petals to Picot’s pattern, working into the back loops of rounds 2 through 4.

At the end of round 4, there are 24 stitches and the front loops are free for working the petals as follows:

Petal Variation:  Fasten off and then rejoin yarn to the first unworked loop from row 1.  sc in 1st stitch as joining, *[hdc, dc, hdc] in next stitch, sl stitch in next st.  Repeat from * working in every unworked front loop through round 4.  Sl st in the next st and fasten off.  Weave in ends.

Ta Da!  You’ve made a beautiful floral crochet face scrubbie!
