Learn how to crochet a facial scrub and cotton pads with this free crochet pattern. It’s the perfect addition to any gift basket for Mother’s Day and even Birthdays and Holidays.
With Mother’s Day coming up, this environmentally-friendly DIY facial scrub and cotton pads make a perfect gift. And if you don’t make as a gift, then you should make it for yourself for sure. Much better than those one-time use pads and scrubs.
The scrub and the pads are made out of cotton so they can be used with water and of course be washed in the washing machine to reuse.
This collection includes 1 facial scrub crochet pattern and 3 similar, but different cotton pad crochet patterns. In fact, all 4 patterns have different textures on each side, so both of the sides can have a different purpose.
The facial scrub has a fluffy side and a mild bumpy side which each serve a different purpose. The pads also have a more scruffy side and a more smoother side. I like the versatility and multi-functional uses of the scrubs and pads.
So, let me now give you the supplies you need in order to crochet this pattern.
How to crochet a Facial Scrub and Cotton pads
You will need:
- worsted weighted 100% cotton yarn (I used WeCrochet’s Dishie as that yarn is super soft)
- 4mm hook
- scissors
- tapestry needle
Stitches used:
- single crochet (normal, BLO, FLO)
- treble crochet
Instructions:
Facial scrub:
- Make a foundation single crochet chain (if you don’t know how, click HERE) of 19 stitches
- ch 1, 1 sc in the first st, *1 tr, 1 sc, repeat from * to the end, turn
- ch 1, 1 sc in each st, turn
- repeat steps 2 and 3, 5 more times
- ch 1, *1 sc in FLO, ch 6, 1 sc in FLO in the next st, repeat from * until the last st, 1 sc in FLO in the last st, ch 1 turn
- 1 sc in the loop that as not used (was the back loop in the previous row) in each st, ch 1, turn
- repeat from step 5 and 6, 9 more times
- ch 10 and sl st into the same st (creates a loop to hang it up)
- fold the scrub right side out and sc evenly on the side to close it up, sl st and fasten off
- reattach the yarn and place sc’s evenly on this side also, fasten off and weave in all the ends
Opening created after closing sides
Don’t use one-time cotton pads though, use reusable ones! 🙂
