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.

How fun! I don’t do much crocheting anymore because it hurts my hands and wrists after a bit, but these are calling me to do some again. Would be quick and easy and would make great gifts! Love, love, love these! Thanks for sharing. <3
Dear Kara, l just had to tell you how cute and practical these face scrubbies are. I must admit my dislexic brain had a hard time getting the rejoin.. But when l finally got it…… I’ve made a dozen of them. Thank you so much for sharing the pattern😉
So happy to hear that, Diane!!
Love this pattern! I think I’ll make several for Christmas presents.I wanted to purchase the supplies from somewhere to help support your blog. But I was unable to find the affiliate links.
Hello, I can only get up to round four for your crochet flower cleansing pad. Is there a link or something that I am missing on your page? I click on print or pdf and nothing happens. I am finally getting around to trying to make this. I am new to crocheting but it looks as if it is something I could definitely do. Thanks
Are you continuing on with this part? … “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.”
Hello! Are these supposed to be small or big? When I made them, they turned out to be pretty small. How big are the ones you made? Thank you! I love the pattern.
Mine are about 3 inches in diameter.
Kara – 3 inches is about right. That’s why I turned them into “flower” hair twisties by adding some beads and hair elastics.

I have tried this pattern i dont know how many times but no matter what it never looks anything but like a flat spiral even when i used just the back loop like the pattern specified. i started with a magic loop and did everything but it stayed flat. Is it my yarn? I’m using sugar and cream 100 percent cotton yarn and it just wont work! The only time it started to raise is when i did back post single crochet
Hi Tianna 🙂 Are you continuing on with this part? “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”
Love these! Added a hair twistie for my granddaughter to use as a ponytail holder. Since they are a bit small, it would/will be easy to make it bigger by just continuing the base until you get the size you want.
I made some of these for my Mom to add to Easter bags. I made a plain circle and sewed a back to these so you just put two fingers in the “pocket”. I think it will make them a bit easier to use. Thanks for such a cute pattern!
Great idea, Michelle!
So very lovely pattern ,Thank u so much
Thank you 🙂
Great little idea. Quick and easy. And it’s great for both a facial puff and an embellishment. I’m even thinking of trying this in wire as a brooch. Here’s a simple little add on you may want to consider for the facial puff. A little handle to slip over the fingers.
Leaving a tail for sewing, CH 9; SC in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across; CH 1; turn; SC in each sc across; finish leaving a tail for sewing.
With a tapestry needle, sew the ends of the strip to the unused loops of the final round. Weave in ends and trim.
I only just made a couple but I plan on putting up pics for my Facebook followers a bit later (www.facebook.com/drdcreations)
Thanks for a neat stash buster project.
Great suggestion!
