Introduction

In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating a beautiful and soft face scrubby using 100% cotton yarn. With a combination of bobble stitches and a simple border, this face scrubby will not only be functional but also visually appealing. This project requires basic crochet skills and can be easily completed by both beginners and experienced crafters. So, grab your crochet hook and let's get started on making this delightful face scrubby!

Materials Needed

Before we dive into the crochet process, let's gather all the materials we will need for this project. Here's a list of items you will need:

• 100% cotton yarn (preferably I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby)
• Size H crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Make sure you have all these materials on hand before we begin. Now, let's move on to the next step.

Getting Started – Making a Magic Ring

To start this project, we will create a magic ring. If you are unfamiliar with the magic ring technique, don't worry. I will provide an alternative method that you can use instead. The magic ring allows for a more secure and adjustable center for our face scrubby.

If you're confident in your magic ring skills, go ahead and create one. However, if you're not comfortable with it or find it challenging, you can create a circle by chaining three and then joining them to form a circle. Then, work your stitches into the center of this circle.

Creating the Center Circle

Once you have your magic ring or circle, it's time to start crocheting the center circle of our face scrubby. We will be working with single crochets for this step. Follow these instructions:

1. Insert your crochet hook into the center of the ring.
2. Yarn over and pull through a loop. This will create your first single crochet.
3. Repeat this process until you have a total of ten single crochets in the center of the ring.
4. Once you have all ten single crochets, take the tail of your yarn and pull it tight to form a circle.
5. Adjust and flatten the center circle with your hands if needed to ensure it lies flat.

Now that we have our center circle completed, let's move on to the next step – making the bobbles.

Making the Bobbles

The bobbles in the middle of our face scrubby add texture and visual interest to the design. We will be using a bobble stitch for this step. Here's how you can create them:

1. Yarn over and insert your hook into the next stitch.
2. Pull up a loop, but don't complete the single crochet as you normally would.
3. Repeat this process four more times until you have a total of six loops on your hook.
4. Yarn over once more and pull through all six loops on your hook.
5. Tighten the tension of the bobble stitch by pulling the yarn tail slightly.
6. In the next stitch, work a single crochet. This will make the bobble puff "pop" up.

Repeat this process of creating bobbles and single crochets until you reach the end of your round. The bobbles should be placed in every other stitch to ensure a balanced and visually appealing design.

Working the Border

After completing the rows of bobbles, we will add a simple border to our face scrubby. This border will help give the scrubby a finished look and prevent it from curling. Here's how to work the border:

1. Slip stitch into the top of the first chain.
2. Chain one.
3. Place two single crochets into the long stitch on the top of each bobble. This creates a double stitch effect.
4. Work a single crochet in the next stitch.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 all the way around.

Continue working this border pattern until you reach the end of the round. Slip stitch to the top of the first stitch to secure the border.

Finishing Touches – Weaving in Ends

Now that the crochet part is complete, it's time to finish off our face scrubby by weaving in the loose ends. Take your yarn needle and carefully thread the yarn tails through the stitches, hiding them within the crochet work. Trim any excess yarn to create a neat and finished appearance.

Once you've woven in all the ends, give your face scrubby a final inspection to ensure all the stitches are secure and the ends are properly hidden. Your scrubby is now ready to be used or gifted!
