How to Crochet Flower Face Scrubbies
Make a magic ring.
Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as st), work 6 sc in ring. Do not join here or throughout — 6 sts.
Work Rounds 2–4 in the back loops only.
Round 2: Work 2 sc in each st around — 12 sts.
Round 3: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st; repeat from * around — 18 sts.
Round 4: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 2 sts; repeat from * around — 24 sts.
Fasten off.
Flower Petals
Join yarn in the first unworked front loop from Round 1. Work 1 sc in the same loop as join, *3 hdc in next unused front loop, 1 sc in next unused front loop; repeat from * in a continuous spiral, working outward through the unused front loops of Rounds 1–4.
Sl st in next loop and fasten off. Weave in ends.
Tips for Using Your Crochet Face Cleansing Pads
Cotton yarn is a great choice for reusable facial scrubbies because it’s absorbent and washable. Make several so you can use a fresh one each time you wash your face.
After use, rinse your scrubbie thoroughly and allow it to dry completely. Wash regularly according to the yarn manufacturer’s care instructions.
For a handmade gift, stack several flower face pads together and tie them with a ribbon. Add a bar of soap or a small bottle of cleanser for a simple, thoughtful gift.

Such a cool and awesome idea!!! and pretty too 😉
Thanks, Ana 🙂
By the way, I LOVE your new website! I can tell you switched to WordPress, didn’t you? It’s so nice!
I did!! And so glad you like it 🙂
This is gorgeous Kara! I love that you made them for your girls. Thanks for sharing at Hookin On Hump Day!
Thanks, Sara!
These are really cute n useful
Thanks, Pearlin 🙂
So I am totally confused… It all starts with the do not join after the first 6 stitches and ends with that whole last part after round 4… I know this is lame, but do you think you could add some more pics since you can’t do a video? Don’t I have to join somehow to start round 2? Would you advise leaving an extra lond tail from the magic circle to do the last step? I am going to try it again tomorrow, maybe my brain just needs a rest…
Hi Kate :). This circular pattern is worked in a spiral so you do not join at the ends of the rounds. You just work the next rows’ stitches right in the ones from the previous round. Rounds 1-4 of the pattern are the base of the pad. The flower effect is put on after Round 4.
Thank you so much for your reply, I am sure you are very busy and for you to take the time to try to help me out really made my day. They turned out great, and were much easier to do than my brain was originally making them… Have a great day!
It was no problem at all! I am glad that I was able to help and that you figured it out and are happy with them 🙂
Thank you for sharing the pattern!
Hello,
Thank you so much for your party!
I was wondering if I could share your post on my blog, It’s so great!
Of course with a direct link to your blog.
Thank you.
Glad you like it!! That would be great :). You are welcome to reprint one of the pictures but please link over to my post for the pattern. Thanks!!
Are they suppose to be small? Because mine turned out pretty small after I finish round 4. Also I’m not quite getting what to do after that. Yours look great though, they’re supper cute.
Hi Francheska 🙂 After Round 4 you should have a flat circle about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Then, once you work the rest of the pattern into the front loops of the rounds, the flower should be about 3 1/2 inches. Hope that helps 🙂
These are awesome but I need a video tutorial to fully understand the pattern could you help me with this? Thanks
Unfortunately I don’t have a video tutorial at this time, but I can try to help. Which part are you having trouble with?
these are so cute!!!!!! I’ll have to give them a go
Hope you enjoy them 🙂
