Crochet Face Scrubby & Ornament
Materials Needed:
- Cotton yarn (for face scrubby) or Acrylic yarn (for ornament)
- Crochet hook: 4 mm for cotton, 4.5 mm for acrylic
- Stitch marker
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Pattern Overview:
- The pattern is the same for both the face scrubby and the ornament.
- It involves single crochets worked through the back loop only.
- You will increase on one side and decrease on the other to create a slanted shape.
- You will change colors every row to create a striped effect, carrying yarn up the side.
Starting the Pattern:
- Start with a slip knot on your hook.
- Chain 20.
Row 1:
- Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. You should have 19 single crochets.
Following Rows:
- Pick up the next color at the end of the row.
- Work back loop only single crochets across the row, carrying the yarn up as you go.
Increase Side (no stitch marker):
- At the beginning of the row, work 2 single crochets into the first stitch, then continue with back loop only single crochets across.
Decrease Side (with stitch marker):
- At the end of the row, work a decrease by pulling up a loop in each of the last two stitches and then pulling through all three loops on the hook.
Continue Pattern:
- Alternate colors as you go. If using two colors, work two rows of each color before changing. If using three colors, change color each row.
- Continue the pattern of increasing and decreasing for 20 rows (if using two colors), or 21 rows (if using three colors).
Finishing:
- Once you have completed the necessary rows, roll the piece so that the edges meet up and use a crochet hook or needle to seam the edges together, creating a tube.
- Cut a long tail and use a yarn needle to gather each end of the tube by weaving in and out, then pulling tightly and securing.
- You can then stitch the two gathered ends together to form a circle.
- Lastly, create a loop for hanging if desired by adding a chain to the top and attaching it securely.
Additional Tips:
- Use scrap yarn from other projects for a more sustainable option.
- Customize color combinations to match any season or preference.
- The finished product can be used as a face scrubby or an ornament, and makes a great gift when paired with face soap or other bath products.
