Psychedelic Round Facial Scrubbies
These facial scrubbies are great for cleaning and exfoliating - I use a set paired with some rubbing alcohol to clean my face every morning - but they are also great for removing make up.
You could also use them as a small coaster, or attach a dish scrubbie to one side to make it perfect for dishes.
Materials:
- 45 yards of Worsted Weight Cotton - I used Lily Sugar n Cream in Psychedelic (JoAnn’s)
- G6/4.25mm Crochet Hook
- #18 Tapestry Needle
- Opt. Flat Nose Pliers (found in the Jewelry section of your craft store)
Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives: Bernat Handicrafter Yarn will also work great! Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton will work up a tad bit bigger.
I do not recommend using Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Cotton. It’s too soft, and isn’t as durable.
My local JoAnn's stores carry larger skeins of Lily Sugar n Cream Yarn. With one 3 oz skein, you will be able to make 8-10 of these round facial scrubbies.
Cotton yarn is a little tougher when it comes to weaving in your ends. You will want a tapestry needle with a larger eye, and duller point otherwise, it will take you longer to weave in your ends and hurt your fingers from tugging at the needle and yarn.
Flat nose pliers are great for use with chunky and super bulky weight yarns as well as cotton. Insert the needle as you normally would for weaving but instead of struggling to get it out the other side, use the pliers to pull it out. Works like a charm!
Care Instructions:
Lily Sugar n Cream yarn is machine washable and dryable. Throw them in with the rest of your clothing, but you may want to put them in a lingerie bag to keep track of them, and then lay flat to dry.
Time Spent:
I worked up the set of four in about fourty five minutes.
