Yarn and Colors Face Scrubbies with Laundry/Gift Bag – Crochet Pattern (YAC100066)

This downloadable PDF crochet pattern from Yarn and Colors, designed by Margreet (@knotjeknus), includes instructions for two practical and eco-friendly projects: a set of Face Scrubbies and a matching Laundry/Gift Bag. The pattern is part of the Basics by Yarn and Colors collection and is rated Easy, making it an ideal project for beginner crocheters looking to build their skills while creating something genuinely useful.

About the Face Scrubbies

The Face Scrubbies are a sustainable, reusable alternative to single-use cotton pads. Designed with gentle skincare in mind, these small crocheted rounds are crafted to cleanse even the most delicate areas of the face, including the sensitive skin around the eyes. The combination of the yarn's soft texture and the stitch structure makes them effective yet kind to skin.

Techniques and Stitches Used

• Puff stitches – the primary stitch used in the Face Scrubbies, creating a dense, textured surface that is both gentle and effective for facial cleansing
• Crochet in the round – the scrubbies are worked in rounds to create their circular shape
• Basic crochet construction suitable for beginner skill level

Materials

• Yarn: Yarn and Colors Favorite – an unmercerized sport weight yarn known for its fine structure and exceptionally soft, gentle feel. Because it is unmercerized, the fiber retains its natural softness, making it especially well suited for use on facial skin.
• A crochet hook appropriate for sport weight yarn

About the Laundry/Gift Bag

As a bonus included within the same PDF, the pattern also provides instructions for a crocheted Laundry Bag. This bag serves a dual purpose: it can be used to wash the Face Scrubbies safely in the washing machine, keeping them together and preventing them from getting lost, and it also doubles as a storage bag for keeping your scrubbies organized between uses.

The Laundry Bag has an additional creative use as a gift bag. The pattern notes that placing a dried flower on top of the filled bag creates a beautifully presented gift that eliminates the need for wrapping paper — a thoughtful, zero-waste gifting idea that aligns with the eco-conscious spirit of the entire pattern.

Techniques and Stitches Used

• Crochet construction worked to form a small bag with an opening
• Beginner-friendly techniques consistent with the overall Easy difficulty rating

Materials

• Yarn: Yarn and Colors Favorite – the same sport weight yarn used for the scrubbies, ensuring a cohesive look across both projects
• A crochet hook suitable for sport weight yarn

Pattern Details and Sustainability

The Yarn and Colors Face Scrubbies pattern reflects a growing movement toward sustainable crafting and conscious living. By replacing disposable cotton pads with handmade, washable alternatives, crafters can significantly reduce daily waste. The choice of Yarn and Colors Favorite — an unmercerized yarn with a naturally soft hand — reinforces this ethos, as unmercerized cotton retains more of its natural fiber properties and is free from the chemical treatment process used in mercerization.

This downloadable PDF pattern is available in Dutch (version 1.0) and German, among other languages, making it accessible to a wide international audience. It is part of the broader Basics by Yarn and Colors collection, a curated series of practical, everyday crochet projects.
