Do you like my new segment? Free Pattern Friday! I like the sound of that. Today I'll be sharing how I made my reusable cotton facial scrubbies! I use these for removing my makeup, washing my face, and applying astringent or essential oils to my face. They are 100% cotton, washable, and SO easy to make. You'll see.
Crochet Cotton Facial Scrubbies
Pattern by Ashley Ludlow
What you’ll need:
- · 4-ply worsted weight 100% cotton yarn
- · Size J or 6.00 MM crochet hook (you can use any size hook you’d like!)
- · Yarn needle
- · Scissors
What stitches you’ll need to know:
- · ch – chain
- · sl st – slip stitch
- · puff st – puff stitch (y/o, hook into the st, y/o, pull through and lift up – leave some slack, y/o, hook into the same st, y/o, pull through and lift up, y/o, hook into the same st, y/o, pull through and lift up, y/o, pull through all loops on the hook, secure with ch)
Instructions:
ch 3, sl st in first ch of the row to create a loop
*optional – pull yarn tail behind the hook and align with the loop so
you can crochet over the top of it.
Rnd 1) ch 1, 8 puff st in center loop, sl st into the space between the 1st and 2nd puff stitches.
See? How easy was that?
You can make these in any color or size you want! Have fun with it.

would i be able to make some of these to sell?
Sure! Feel free to sell what you make from this pattern. But, please don't claim it as your own, and please don't sell the pattern itself. :)
Thank you for sharing your pattern! These are really nice.
Would it be possible for you to make a video of this? im trying to teach myself to crochet and it helps for me to see it. I want to make these so badly!
What a cute idea for stocking stuffers for my girls. Thank you for sharing this pattern.
I totally LOVE this idea. I have tried to think of ways you could have reusable "cotton balls". By golly this is such a great alternative. My kids call me the recycle nazi. I love this! No more cotton ball trash! Now if there was a way to make reusable Q-tips. I don't think I will ever be able to give them up! Thank you for sharing this.
This is a great gift to give to someone along with an inexpensive facial soap or a nice bottle of soap. I made some small wash cloths and put them in with a box of Calgon to a friend of mine.
I need to learn the puffy stitch to do these (I can't read patterns to save my life), but I will definitely be adding these to my list of crochet accomplishments. Thanks so much for sharing!
How many loops did you do on your puff stitches? :)
Making a few for my daughter and found a youtube video about the puff stitch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0pHAP5R4PY
Thank you. Saves me a bunch of money. Especially since I already had everything on hand.
Thank you so much for sharing. These are the best! I blogged about your pattern: http://www.little-z.nl/2013/02/facial-scrubbies.html

Love this pattern! I found you via Pinterest and boy am I glad! I made my puffs by starting with a "magic ring". This made it alot easier to see what I was doing on the first round and I found that my puff stitches turned out much more evenly because I wasn't trying to cram them in. There will be dozens of these in Christmas stockings this year! ;)
Made these today! Only thing I did differently was I did a magic loop to start instead of chaining 3. These are so fun!
Thanks for sharing the pattern!
Blessings!
Loove these!
