Back at the end of August, I posted the Crochet Facial Scrubbies in Rainbow Bright Ombre. This pattern was a big hit. I found some BIG skeins of Handicrafter Nautical yarn on clearance at Joann’s, so I figured it’d buy two and work up some more facial scrubbies, and coasters, along with some wash cloths.

About halfway through crocheting up some of the round facial scrubbies, I decided to try some square ones.

I personally use the round ones I made - I have a set made of the Nautical Twists for myself - and although they do work and feel great, the beginning ring of the circle is a little bulky. I figured the flat square would be smoother on my face, and also better for removing make up.

Work up a set for yourself, or make a set to give as a gift!

These will work as coasters too, although they are a tad bit small.

You can also attach a scratchy scrubbie to make these ideal for washing dishes.

Enjoy this free pattern!

Materials:

• Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn - I used about 50 yards of Bernat Handicrafter Nautical in the color Sand Dune Ombre
• H8/5mm Hook
• #18 Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends

Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives: Lily Sugar and Cream, Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton.
A similar yarn colorway is the Chocolate Ombre from Lily Sugar n Cream. I’ve used it on some washcloths before and it’s colorway can be seen a lot more - very nice color. The Sand Dune colorway is very subtle.
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.

Time Spent:
I was able to work up a set of four in about 45 minutes.

Measurements:
These scrubbies measured 3” across before adding the single crochet border, and 3.75” across after.
