Elevate Your Skincare Routine with Handmade Texture

Are you ready to swap disposable cotton rounds for something that feels as good as it looks? The Dewdrop & Bramble Face Scrubbies are the perfect sustainable upgrade for your daily cleansing ritual. This free crochet pattern creates a set of luxuriously textured, double-sided scrubbies that are as functional as they are beautiful.

Made with 100% worsted weight cotton, these scrubbies are eco-friendly, reusable, and incredibly satisfying to make. Whether you're a seasoned crocheter or a confident beginner, this pattern will guide you through creating a set of 3-5 scrubbies that will transform your skincare routine.

Materials Needed

To create your own Dewdrop & Bramble Face Scrubbies, gather the following supplies. The gauge is not critical for this project, but consistency will ensure all your scrubbies are the same size.

• Yarn: Lily Sugar'n Cream or similar 100% worsted weight cotton yarn in two colors. For example, Color A: 'Ecru' for the dewdrop side, Color B: 'Rose Pink' for the bramble side. A single ball of each color will make multiple scrubbies.
• Hook: Size G/6 (4.0 mm) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 4 dc = 1 inch; 2 rows of dc = 1 inch. Gauge is not critical, but consistency ensures a uniform size.
• Other: Yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors, and a tape measure (optional).

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern is worked in the round from the center out. Follow each round carefully, and you'll have a perfectly textured scrubbie in no time. The final size is approximately 4 inches in diameter.
