Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we'll need for this project. You will need:

• Red Heart Scrubby Cotton Yarn (in the color of your choice)
• Crochet Hook (size I/9 or 5.25mm)
• Scissors

Step 1: Making a Slipknot

To start off, we'll need to create a slipknot. Take the end of the yarn and make a loop. Pull the long end through the loop, creating a slipknot. Adjust the knot so that it is snug, but not too tight.

Step 2: Crocheting the Foundation Chain

Now that we have our slipknot, let's proceed to crochet the foundation chain. To do this, we will be making loose chains. Using your crochet hook, yarn over and pull it through the loop of the slipknot. Repeat this process until you have 12 loose chains. Remember, the chains should be slightly larger than usual due to the texture of the yarn.

Step 3: Half Double Crocheting the Rows

Once we have our foundation chain, we can begin half double crocheting the rows. In the third chain from the hook, insert your crochet hook. Yarn over and pull it through, creating three loops on your hook. Yarn over again and pull it through all three loops. This completes your first half double crochet stitch. Continue this process for each chain, creating one half double crochet stitch in each. By the end of Row 1, you should have a total of 10 half double crochets.

For Rows 2 to 8, simply chain two and turn your work. Then, continue putting one half double crochet in each stitch across. Remember to maintain loose crochet stitches to accommodate the texture of the yarn. At the end of Row 8, you should still have 10 half double crochets in each row.

Step 4: Adding the Border

To give our facial scrubby a clean and finished look, we will add a border. Chain one and turn your work. Proceed to put one single crochet in each stitch across. When you reach the corners, put three single crochets to turn the corner smoothly. Repeat this process for each side of the scrubby, ensuring to put one single crochet at the end of each row.

Step 5: Weaving in the Tail

To secure the loose end of the yarn and prevent it from unraveling, we need to weave it into the work. Use a yarn needle or your crochet hook to weave the tail through the stitches on the inside of the scrubby. The textured fibers of the yarn will help the tail stay in place. Zigzag the tail throughout the work to ensure a secure hold.

Conclusion

And there you have it - your very own spa facial scrubby! Now you can enjoy a luxurious spa experience in the comfort of your own home. Whether you make it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this crochet project is sure to impress. So grab your materials and get started on creating this amazing and practical item.
