Introduction Welcome to this tutorial on how to create beautiful face scrubbies! In this tutorial, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of making these scrubbies, which are great for stash busting and using up scrap yarn.

Materials Needed Before we begin, let's gather all the materials you will need for this project. You will need cutting yarn (worsted weight or any other weight you have), a 4.5 millimeter hook, a stitch marker, a tapestry needle, and scissors.

Step 1: Making a Magic Circle To start the scrubbies, we will begin with a magic circle. This technique creates a tight center for the scrubbies. Start by making a chain one and then make half eight half double crochet into the circle. Join to the first stitch to complete the circle.

Step 2: Round 2 - Creating Chain 5 Loops In this step, we will create chain 5 loops around the magic circle. Start by chaining five. Then, into the front loop of the first half double crochet, make a slip stitch. Continue making chain fives and slip stitching into the front loops of each subsequent half double crochet. Place a stitch marker into the back loop of the same stitch.

Step 3: Round 3 - Increasing the Number of Half Double Crochets In round three, we will increase the number of half double crochets. Begin by chaining one. Make two half double crochets into the first stitch and then two half double crochets into the back loop of the next stitch. Repeat this pattern of increasing in each stitch all around. Join to the first stitch to complete the round.

Step 4: Round 4-6 - Continuing the Half Double Crochet and Chain 5 Pattern In rounds four to six, we will continue the pattern of half double crochets and chain 5 loops. Chain one and make a chain five loop in the front loop of the first stitch. Slip stitch into the next stitch. Continue this pattern, remembering to place the stitch marker into the back loop of the first stitch.

Step 5: Round 7 - Final Half Double Crochet Round In round seven, we will create the final round of half double crochets. Chain one and make two half double crochets into the first stitch. Then, make one half double crochet into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern all around. Join to the first stitch to complete the round.

Step 6: Round 8 - Completing the Scrubby In round eight, we will complete the scrubbies. Make one last round of chain five loops. Slip stitch into the first stitch in the front loop only. This is the final round, but you can make your scrubbies wider by continuing to increase with half double crochet rounds.

Step 7: Making the Handle To make the handle, chain one and single crochet into the same stitch. Work into both loops of the half double crochet, not just the back loops. Repeat this pattern of single crochets for 13 rows.

Step 8: Sewing the Scrubby and Handle Together Once you have completed the rows for the handle, sew the handle onto the scrubbies. Sew through the two loops under the two loops of the back of the half double crochet.
