Crochet Face Scrubbie Pattern
Special Features
- Eco-Friendly Design: Made with 100% cotton yarn, these scrubbies are reusable, washable, and perfect for sustainable living.
- Quick Project: The pattern comprises only two rounds, making it fast and beginner-friendly.
- Unique Look: The puff stitch provides textured, fluffy clusters that look beautiful and feel gentle against the skin.
Level of Difficulty
- Beginner-Friendly: This pattern is very accessible as it uses simple crochet stitches like chains, slip stitches, and the puff stitch.
- The most challenging aspect is working with multiple loops on the hook during the puff stitch, which the tutor carefully explains.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Consistency in Stitch Height: When making the puff stitches, ensure you pull up the yarn evenly to maintain consistent stitch height for a polished look.
- Patience with Pulling Through: Pulling through multiple loops when making puff stitches can be tricky. Take your time and wiggle your hook gently if needed.
- Managing Cotton Yarn: Cotton yarn can split easily, so handle with care and ensure your yarn doesn’t snag.
- Alternate Puff Stitch Clusters: The tutor explains that you can opt to omit chain stitches between puff stitch clusters (entirely your preference) which reduces “bowling” of the scrubby.
Uses
- Face Cleaning: These scrubbies are perfect for gentle exfoliation and applying soap or face wash.
- Gifts: Pair them with homemade soap, loofahs, or spa items as part of a DIY gift set.
- Eco-Friendly Alternative: Replace disposable face wipes with these crocheted scrubbies.
Materials Needed
- Yarn: 100% cotton yarn. The tutor used the same ball of yarn used in a previous loofah tutorial.
- Crochet Hook: 5 mm (H size) crochet hook.
- Darning Needle: For weaving in ends.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Round 1: Creating the Center
- Start with a slip knot and chain 5.
- Slip stitch into the first chain to form a loop.
- Chain 3 (this will count as your first stitch).
Round 1: Puff Stitches
- Yarn over five times, ensuring that the loops pulled up are tall and even.
- Insert the hook into the loop and pull up another loop.
- You should now have 11 loops on your hook.
- Yarn over and pull through all the loops. Wiggle if necessary, until only 2 loops remain on the hook.
- Yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops, then chain 1 to secure the puff stitch.
- Repeat this process until you have 8 puff stitches around the loop.
-
- Note: You may need to gently cram the puff stitches into the center space as you go.
- After completing 8 puff stitches, chain 1 and slip stitch into the top of the first stitch to close the round.
2: Adding More Texture
- Chain 1. In the chain-1 spaces from the previous round, crochet 2 puff stitches into each space with no chains in between the two puff stitches of a cluster.
- In between puff stitch clusters, chain 1 to create space.
- For each puff stitch:
- Yarn over five times and pull up loops.
- Yarn over and pull through all the loops.
- Yarn over and pull through the last two loops.
- Continue this pattern around, ending with 16 puff stitches (2 in each space).
- Slip stitch into the top of the first stitch to close the round.
Finishing the Scrubby
- Cut the working yarn and finish off with a seamless end.
- Weave in loose ends using a darning needle or crochet hook.
- Trim any excess yarn. For the center, as the puff stitches secure it tightly, there’s no need to weave in the slip knot tail—just trim it.
Customizations Suggested by the Tutor
- Smaller Scrubbies: Start with only 6 puff stitches in round 1 to create a smaller version with a total of 12 puff stitches in round 2.
- Chain Placement: If preferred, skip chain-1 stitches between puff stitch clusters in round 2 to reduce any potential “bowling” of your scrubby.
Tips
- Maintain consistent tension when creating puff stitches by pulling the yarn slightly taut. This ensures all puff stitches are the same height and keeps the scrubby neat.
- If you find cotton yarn splitting or snagging, go slow, and use a smooth motion while pulling through loops.
- For gifting, create a set of scrubbies in various colors and sizes to pair with other spa crafts.
Conclusion
This puff stitch face scrubby is a quick and satisfying crochet project, perfect for personal use or as a sustainable gift option. With just two rounds and minimal materials required, anyone, even beginners can make a set of these in no time. Pair it with other spa-themed crocheted items like a loofah for a complete handmade spa set.
