How to use crochet face scrubbies?

To use your face scrubby wet it in warm water. Add a small amount of face soap, and gently rub on your face. Rinse your skin and the scrubby with cool water.

When you’re finished using your crochet face scrubby, wring it out. Then just toss it in the wash. These scrubbies use very little yarn so you can crochet a bunch from one skein or less.

What kind of yarn do I need for a scrubby?

I would highly recommend 100% cotton yarn for this crochet face scrubby pattern. I crocheted these face scrubbies with yarn I had in my stash. The scrubbies pictured are in Peaches ‘n Creme cotton yarn in the color mint.

Other yarns suitable for crochet face scrubbies would be Red Heart Smoothie Scrubby which I used in my Bria Crochet Washcloth Pattern.

I held two strands of it together for the Heart Pocket Face Scrubby Pattern. Or for a good exfoliation Red Heart Scrubby Yarn is highly textured. You can shop both these yarns here: Shop Red Heart Products

Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Cotton is a super soft cotton yarn. It would make a great face scrubby yarn. I’ve used it for my toddler sun hat crochet pattern, and in several crochet tote bags, but most recently in Annie’s Bag.

The Stitch

This classic square crochet face scrubby pattern is made with single crochet stitches. To get that lightly textured surface you’ll alternate crocheting under the front loop (flo) and back loop (blo) of the stitches.

The easy texture of alternating front loop and back loop is one of my favorites to use in my designs. It’s simple to do, and looks fantastic. I used the same idea in my Nebbia Chunky Crochet Sweater Pattern and the matching Nebbia Chunky Scarf Pattern, but these feature double crochets.

Another thing I love about these crochet face scrubbies is the double sided texture. Since this scrubby is worked flat in a square it’s the same on both sides.

The Suzette Stitch is another great lightly textured crochet stitch. Breann at Hooked on Homemade Happiness has a great tutorial on this stitch.

  1. Hi Jane,

    You know, I don’t right now. Thanks for asking, I’ll have to change that! I definitely think you could crochet this scrubby pattern larger for a nice dishcloth. I’d recommend doubling the starting chain to 32. That should give you about an 8″ wide dishcloth. I hope that helps!

    Have a great weekend,
    Crystal
