Are you looking for an easy and quick crochet project? Look no further! In this tutorial, I will guide you step-by-step on how to make adorable face scrubbies using Bernat handicrafter yarn. These scrubbies are not only super cute but also practical for your skincare routine. So, let's grab our supplies and get started!

1. Introduction

Crocheting face scrubbies is a fun and rewarding project. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, you'll love making these cute and useful scrubbies. They are perfect for removing makeup, cleansing your face, or applying skincare products.

2. Supplies Required

Before we dive into the tutorial, let's gather all the supplies we'll need for this project. Here's what you'll need:

• Bernat handicrafter yarn (100% cotton)
• Size 4 medium weight yarn (or any weight yarn of your choice)
• 5mm crochet hook
• Darning needle
• Scissors

3. How to Make a Magic Ring

To start this project, we'll begin with a magic ring. If you're unsure how to create a magic ring, don't worry! You can watch a video tutorial linked in the description box below for step-by-step instructions. Alternatively, I'll provide a quick demonstration here.

To make a magic ring, follow these steps:

1. Anchor the yarn with your thumb and ring finger.
2. Wrap the yarn around your fingers, creating two parallel lines on top and a cross at the back.
3. Insert your hook under the top loop, yarn over, and pull through to form a loop.
4. Yarn over and pull through to create a chain.
5. Congratulations! You've successfully made a magic ring, and now we can start crocheting our scrubbies.

4. Working with Puff Stitches

In this project, we'll be using puff stitches to create the texture of the face scrubbies. We will do three wrapped puff stitches for each puff. Let me explain the process:

1. Chain one to begin.
2. Yarn over and insert your hook into the stitch.
3. Yarn over and pull through, creating two loops on your hook.
4. Yarn over and insert your hook again.
5. Yarn over and pull through, creating three loops on your hook.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 two more times, so you have seven loops on your hook.
7. Yarn over and pull through all seven loops.
8. To close off the puff stitch, yarn over and pull through to secure it.
9. Repeat these steps to create more puff stitches as required for your project.

5. Row 1: Creating the Base

To start, we'll create the base of our face scrubbies. Follow these steps:

1. Make a magic ring.
2. Chain one.
3. Create your first puff stitch, as explained earlier.
4. Make another puff stitch.
5. Continue making puff stitches until you have a total of six.
6. Close up the magic ring by slip stitching into the first puff stitch.
7. Congratulations! You've completed the first row of your face scrubbies.

6. Row 2: Increasing the Number of Puff Stitches

In the second row, we'll increase the number of puff stitches to add more texture to our scrubbies. Here's what you need to do:

1. Chain one to start.
2. Make a puff stitch directly above each puff stitch from the first row.
3. Place a puff stitch in the chain one space between each puff.
4. Continue creating puff stitches until you have a total of 12.
5. Slip stitch to the first stitch to complete the second row.

7. Row 3: Adding Half Double Crochet Stitches

In the third row, we'll introduce half double crochet stitches to further enhance the texture of our face scrubbies. Follow these steps:

1. Chain one to begin.
2. Place a half double crochet stitch around each puff stitch and in the chain one spaces.
3. Repeat this process for a total of 24 stitches.
4. Slip stitch to the first stitch to complete the third row.

8. Finishing and Weaving in Ends

Now that we have crocheted the main body of our face scrubbies, it's time to finish off and weave in the ends. Here's what you need to do:

1. Cut the yarn, leaving a decent-sized tail for weaving in.
2. Thread the yarn tail through a darning needle.
3. Weave the yarn end through several stitches in the center of the scrubbie.
4. Create a small knot for added security.
5. Continue weaving the yarn in a circular motion.
6. Weave in the other end in a similar manner.
7. Once you're satisfied with the weaving, trim any excess yarn.

9. Tips and Troubleshooting

• Experiment with different yarn weights and colors to customize your face scrubbies.
• If your magic ring feels too loose, you can tighten it by gently pulling the tail end.
• Practice your puff stitches before starting the project to ensure consistent tension.
• If you make a mistake, don't be afraid to unravel and start again. Crochet is all about learning and improving with each project.

10. Conclusion

Congratulations on completing your own set of adorable face scrubbies! These handy accessories are not only practical but also make great gifts for family and friends. Remember, the more scrubbies you make, the better you'll become at crocheting them. Have fun experimenting with different colors and patterns, and enjoy the process of creating something beautiful and useful with your own hands.
