Crochet Face Scrubbies Pattern (Free Printable)
THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS THAT SUPPORT HANDY LITTLE ME CONTENT AND FREE PATTERNS.In this blog post, you’ll find a crochet face scrubbies pattern that’s perfect for beginners and makes a thoughtful handmade gift.
This quick and eco-friendly crochet project is worked in US terms, starting with a magic ring and using simple stitches to form a soft double crochet circle.
These reusable scrubbies are gentle enough for sensitive skin, making them a great addition to your self-care routine or a lovely set to include in a spa-themed gift basket.
Do Crochet Face Scrubbies Work?
Yes, crochet face scrubbies do work and are a great eco-friendly alternative to disposable cotton pads.
Made with soft, absorbent yarn—usually 100% cotton—they gently cleanse and exfoliate the skin without irritation, making them ideal for sensitive skin.
They can be used to apply cleanser, remove makeup, or rinse off masks, and are machine washable for easy reuse.
Their durability and reusability make them both effective and sustainable for everyday skincare routines.

Notes
Skill Level – Easy
Worked in the round, these simple circles can be made smaller or larger by simply working fewer or more rounds.
Use up your cotton scraps in your yarn stash (worsted weight cotton yarn, lily sugar and cream, etc) and make lots in different colors.
Add a hand strap to the back for ease of use.
You don’t need a lot of yarn to make one circle and before you know it, you will have a makeup remover pad.
