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.

Not a very well written pattern. You should have said to continue around on each row. I am not a beginner but I had a few people who are ask me what they do after they finish the first row of hdc’s. Yes, I know for you it is a no-brainer, but for those who are just starting out, you should have explained that.
I love this pattern! I’m going to use it to add flowers to a baby blanket for a baby shower! So quick and easy!
The ending of round 4 makes absolutely no sense to me lol! I’ve tried to do it so many times but I’m so confused.. I guess I’m doing this completely wrong.. I really wish there was a video for me to see
I started out intending to follow the pattern exactly, didn’t quite end up that way but here’s my version:
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10214483410052181&id=1027670194
After the first fasten off, I was then lost! Don’t understand where that last row goes after you fasten off, or why?! Do you have a tutorial?
Hi Diane 🙂 After fastening off at the end of Round 4, you will rejoin your yarn to the center of your flat circle in the innermost loop, or the front loop of the very first stitch you made. Then continue working in the front loops of all the stitches around. Hope that helps!
I am having so much trouble with this EASY pattern!!! At the end of round 1 it says to not join so my rows end up in a semi circle. To join the last stitch of row 4 with the loose yarn in first stitch creates an unfinished side, like a conch shell. There is also the big loop from the magic ring. Are we supposed to pull that taut to create a tight circle in the middle? Please help, I don’t want to give up! :-))
It sounds a little like you might be turning to work as you would in rounds, is that the case? If so, then that is why you are getting a semicircle. Instead, do no join at the end of Round 1, but instead, continue working in the round by working your first stitch of Round 2 directly into the first stitch from Round 1. Make sense?
For the life of me…i have no idea where my first unworked loop is after completing r4. Should i have used a stitch marker at the beginning?
Hello 🙂 The first unworked loop is the one at the very center of your circle. Then you would work your way around outwards. Hope that helps!
Can you show a picture of what it looks like before you tie off?
Unfortunately, I do not have a photo.
I’m a knitter new to crochet – I’ve tried this 4 different times, but mine keep coming out pretty flat. I’m not understanding what you mean by “back loop.” Is there a video tutorial for this?
I see others have had the same problem… I will try again… Thanks.
Be sure you are doing this part too 🙂 … 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.
I think problem after row four is to crotchet in front stitch to make it stand up ru
ffles. Rows 2-4 in back of loop..last round after four in front loop ..worked for me
super i like it 🙂
I have been crocheting for a long time. I know this is an easy pattern. When I make mine they come out flat. I am going through the back loop. Yours look so nice and fluffy. What am I doing wrong. I have tried different sized hooks. Thanks so much.
Hi Jean 🙂 Are you working the last part of the pattern? “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.”
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me. I am adding the last row. My middle part does not stand up like yours looks like in the picture. I just had some peaches and cream with me on vacation. Could it be the yarn? Thanks.
