These crochet flower face cleansing pads add a pretty flare to your beauty routine. They are attractive enough to be displayed while being soft and absorbent enough to cleanse. They also make for a great gift when paired with a scented soap and lotions.
Want to make some of your own?
They are lots of fun and quick and easy to do!

Make a magic ring.
Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as st), work 6 sc in ring, do not join here and throughout — 6 sts.
***Work Rounds 2 through 4 in the back loops of stitches only.***
Round 2: Work 2 sc in each st around — 12 sts.
Round 3: *2 sc in next, 1 sc in next, rep from * around — 18 sts.
Round 4: *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, rep from * around — 24 sts.
Fasten off. Join yarn in first unworked loop from Round 1, work 1 sc in same loop as join, *3 hdc in next, 1 sc in next, rep from * around, Sl st in next, and fasten off. Weave in ends.

hi,
mine didn’t turn out right. it just looks flat. am i missing something?
diane
Did you do the second part where you join the yarn to the unworked loops? That is what adds the ruffle flower design. Hope that helps 🙂
hi,
do i complete rows 1-4 and then fasten off?
diane
Yes, fasten off after Round 4 and continue as follows …
Fasten off. Join yarn in first unworked loop from Round 1, work 1 sc in same loop as join, *3 hdc in next, 1 sc in next, rep from * around, Sl st in next and fasten off. Weave in ends.
hi,
how do i add the extra loops if i don’t use the magic circle?
diane
Hi Diane 🙂 The “unworked loops” are not effected by the magic ring at all. If you don’t want to use the magic ring, you can chain 2 and then work the first round in the second chain from the hook. The rest of the pattern will be exactly the same.
I love this pattern! Thanks so much for sharing it. As a little “thank you”, I posted about the pattern on my own blog here:

Hi!! Thanks for this awesome tut. But I was just wondering what the “first unworked loop from round one” meant… Could you describe which loop that would be? Or send me a picture? Please reply ASAP. Thanks soo much! I look forward to making these 🙂
Hi Kaitlyn 🙂 When you work the circle for the first part, you are only working the stitches in the back loop. This leaves the front loop free for the second part in which you would join your yarn into the first free loop at the center and then work around. Hope that helps!
Oh, thanks so much!! Now I’ll make a ton of these for me and daughters!! Thanks for the quick reply~~ 🙂
Can you pleas e tell me if their is a way to not ise the magic circle I find it hard to control with my 60 year old hands. Thank you mrs. Sherry placek
Hi Sherry 🙂 For this particular pattern, you can ch 2 and then work the first round of stitches into the 2nd chain from hook. Hope that helps!
I really like this pattern and i knows its super easy to make , but when i make it doesnt swirl like a rose, i dont understand this step about joining,where am i to go if i dont join?
Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as st), work 6 sc in ring, do not join here and throughout — 6 sts.
Hi Jamie 🙂 Instead of joining at the end of each round, you just continue crocheting in a spiral. In other words, just start the next round as you usually would but without joining the previous one. This will give you the swirl effect. Make sense?
I love this pattern. I found it pinned on Lion Brand’s Pinterest page.
I will be linking to this post from my blog on Tuesday, July 16, 2013.

Thanks so much, Sarah! I just linked up 🙂
Thank you for writing such a clear pattern, I have made four just this morning for my sons teachers end of the year gifts!
I am so glad you liked it 🙂
I love the star pattern you have in the center of the top banner at your website. Do you have the instructions for that star pattern? I really want to try it. Thank you in advance for your help.
Hi Nancy 🙂 Those are African flower motifs. I don’t have a pattern for the posted here, but there are a bunch of patterns floating around online that you should be able to find pretty easily. For my afghan, I didn’t work the last round of the pattern that makes them into a true hexagon, instead I joined them as is to try to make them look more like flowers. Hope this helps 🙂
