Flower Face Scrubs

Flower Face Scrubs by Burgundy & Blush

What is Being Made

Flower Face Scrubs are eco-friendly, reusable facial cleansing pads designed for makeup removal and gentle face cleansing. These crocheted pads combine functionality with sustainability, allowing crafters to create washable alternatives to disposable makeup remover pads. Each pad features a decorative flower-like construction that serves both aesthetic and practical purposes.

Craft and Techniques

This project uses crochet as the primary construction method. The design employs a combination of fundamental crochet techniques that make it ideal for beginners. The pattern utilizes a circular construction method, beginning with a foundation chain and slip stitch to form a closed loop, then building outward in rounds to create the finished pad shape.

The puff stitch is the signature technique featured in these face scrubs. This textured stitch creates the dimensional, flower-like appearance while providing gentle texture suitable for facial use. The puff stitch involves multiple yarn overs and loop manipulations, creating a puffy, raised effect that adds both visual interest and functional texture to the pads.

Stitches Used

• Puff Stitch – Created by performing multiple yarn overs and pulling up loops, then drawing yarn through all loops on the hook in a single motion, finished with a chain stitch to close. This stitch forms the decorative, textured elements of the flower design.
• Double Crochet (DC) – Used as the base stitch in the initial rounds to establish the pad foundation and create structure.
• Chain (CH) – Forms the foundation and spacing elements throughout the pattern, including the initial loop and spaces between design elements.
• Slip Stitch (SS) – Used to join rounds and create seamless transitions between pattern sections.

Materials and Tools

This beginner-friendly project requires DK weight cotton yarn, which is ideal for face pads due to its absorbency and durability through repeated washing. A 4.0mm crochet hook is used to work the yarn at the appropriate tension. Basic finishing tools including scissors and a needle complete the material requirements, allowing crafters to weave in ends and finalize their pads.

The choice of cotton yarn emphasizes the eco-friendly nature of the project, as cotton is a natural, washable fiber that withstands multiple cleaning cycles without degradation, supporting the waste-saving mission of these reusable face pads.

Difficulty Level

Rated as beginner friendly, this pattern includes photo steps to guide crafters through each stage of construction.
