Store-bought face scrubbies are soooobooooring. These Floret Face Pad Scrubbies, designed by Johanna Lindahl, serve a double purpose. First, made of a soft yarn, they are great for cleaning and massaging your face during your daily routine. Also, they are reusable. Just give them a wash, and off you go. At the same time, the vibrant colors and deep texture make these scrubbies fun and decorative, giving your bathroom or powder room a real shot of color.
Best Yarn Options for Soft and Absorbent Scrubbies
For items that have regular contact with water, cotton yarn works best. The designer of this crochet scrubbie pattern recommends using Scheepjes Cotton 8 or Scheepjes Sunkissed.
Both options have fingering weight, soft feel, and a great stitch definition. Pair it with a 3 mm crochet hook to get scrubbers that measure 6 cm in diameter.
Crocheting Your Own Set of Scrubbies
The pattern is quite simple to follow, so you can quickly whip up a whole squad of handmade face scrubbies for your daily routine or gift packages. Each piece has a bumpy center worked with puff stitches. You will also use front post single crochet in some places along with a few basic stitches.
Caring for Your Handmade Face Pads
If you want your handmade scrubbies to remain hygienic and last long, wash them regularly in a mesh laundry bag or hand wash with mild detergent. Avoid using any fabric softeners, as they reduce absorbency.
The fact that this project eats up really small yarn quantities, making it a great stash-buster, means you can always quickly replace worn-out scrubbies with new ones.
I like these flowers and will try them later today
