The crochet flower face scrubbies are so cute and quick to make. They work as either facial cleansing pads or make-up removers. Because of their pretty shape they would be a beautiful pattern to crochet for mom for a Mother’s Day gift, or some other special occasion.

I love pretty things that are as beautiful as they are functional, so I decided to try my hand at creating a cute crochet face scrubbie that would be gentle on sensitive skin. It should also dry quickly since you can simple push the scrubbie open between the petals to let air flow through between the layers!
Tencel is a super soft, silky smooth yarn made from wood pulp harvested from renewable sources. It is softer than traditional washcloth cotton and dries quickly, meaning it is great to use for your skincare routine. I used Yarn Bee Fresh Haven from Hobby Lobby, but you can also try KnitPicks Shine Sport, for a nearly identical look and feel.

Additional Notes:
I used tensel yarn for this project because of how silky smooth it feels against my skin. The way this pattern is designed allows for easy drying, just put your fingers between the rounds of petals and “open” the scrubby up. That should allow for good air flow. If you find your scrubby is not drying fast enough, pop it in a lingerie bag and put it in your dryer.
-Thoroughly rinse scrubbies out after each use. If the scrubby starts to smell bad even after washing, throw it out. Mold is dangerous!
-I used somewhat tight tension so the scrubby would not fall apart as readily

We’ll make the back of the scrubby first. You can use the same color as the front this way or use a contrasting color. You could even use a different material for this side if you wished to–just make sure they are the same weight.
Scrubby (back):
Round 1: ch 1, [dc, sc] 4 times in magic circle, join with sl st to first dc. (8)
Round 2: ch 1, (sc, dc) in each st around, join with sl st to first sc. (16)
Round 3: ch 1, (dc, sc), in first st, dc in next st, (sc, dc) in next st, sc in next st * dc, sc), in next st, dc in next st, (sc, dc) in next st, sc in next st; repeat from * around, join with sl st to first dc. (24)
Round 4: ch 1, (sc, dc) in first st, sc in next st, dc in next st *(sc, dc) in next st, sc in next st, dc in next st; repeat from * around, join with sl st to first sc. (32)
My scrubbie back measured 2″ across when I was done.
Fasten off, weave in ends, then start the front of the scrubby.
Scrubby (front):
Round 1: 6 sc in magic ring, join with sl st to first sc, but do not cinch closed. (6)
Round 2: ch 1, working over the stitches in round 1, 12 hdc in center of circle join with sl st to first hdc. (12)
Round 3: ch 1, BPsc in each st around, join with sl st to first sc. (12)
You should have a button shape now.
Round 4: *ch 2, sk st, sl st in next; repeat from * around, final sl st counts as join. (6 ch-2 sps)
Round 5: ch 1, (hdc, 2 dc, hdc, ch 1, sl st) in ch-2 sp *ch 1, (hdc, 2 dc, hdc, ch 1, sl st) in next ch-2 sp; repeat from * around. (6 petals)
Turn piece over and work this next round along the back,
Round 6: ch 1, sl st into center of first petal, *ch 3, sl st into center of next petal; repeat from * around, place final sl st in first sl st to join. (6 ch-3 sps)
Turn piece over and work on the front,
Round 7: ch 1, (hdc, 3 dc, hdc, ch 1, sl st) in ch-3 sp, ch 1, *(hdc, 3 dc, hdc, ch 1, sl st), in next ch-3 sp, ch 1; repeat from * around. (6 petals)
Turn piece over and work this next round along the back,
Round 8: ch 1, sl st into center of first petal, *ch 4, sl st into center of next petal; repeat from * around, place final sl st in first sl st to join. (6 ch-4 sps)
Turn piece over and work on the front,
Round 9: ch 1, (hdc, 4 dc, hdc, ch 1, sl st) in ch-4 sp, *ch 1, (hdc, 4 dc, hdc, ch 1, sl st) in ch-4 sp; repeat from * around. (6 petals)
Turn piece over and work this next round along the back,
Round 10: ch 1, sl st into center of first petal, *ch 5, sl st into center of next petal; repeat from * around, place final sl st in first sl st to join. (6 ch-5 sps)
Now we will join the front and back pieces together.
You may notice the stitch count for the back piece is not evenly divisible by 6 (the number of petals we have). Here’s how to join the two sides evenly so you don’t have left-over stitches at the end:
Round 11: crocheting the two sides together, [6 sc in ch-5 sp, 5 sc in the next 2 ch-5 sps] 2 times, join with sl st to first sc.
Round 12: *sk st, 4 hdc in next st, sk st, sl st in next st; repeat from * around, ch 10, sl st back into final sl st of last petal to create a loop. This loop is optional, but it is handy for hanging the scrubby up to dry after you rinse it and use your fingers to push it open between the petals.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
