Flower Blossoms Face Scrubbies

Flower Blossoms Face Scrubbies by Kirsten Holloway

What Is Being Made

The Flower Blossoms Face Scrubbies are decorative and functional crocheted dishcloths designed as face scrubbies. This project creates textured, multi-layered flower designs that serve practical purposes while adding visual appeal to kitchen or bathroom spaces. The finished pieces combine aesthetic floral elements with the gentle exfoliating properties typical of handmade scrubbies.

Craft and Primary Technique

This project is created using crochet, a fiber arts technique that uses a single hook to form loops and stitches from yarn. Crochet allows for dimensional shaping and texture variation, making it ideal for creating the layered flower effects featured in this design. The intermediate difficulty level indicates that crafters should have foundational crochet knowledge before beginning this project.

Techniques Used

• Post stitches – These stitches are worked around the post (vertical part) of previous stitches rather than into the top loops, creating raised, dimensional texture that adds visual interest and structure to the flower elements
• Multi-layered flower construction – The pattern builds three-dimensional floral motifs by stacking or layering crocheted elements, creating depth and complexity
• Crocheting two circles together – This joining technique allows the maker to combine separate circular components, likely forming the base and flower layers of the finished scrubbie

Stitches Used

• sl st (slip stitch) – A joining stitch that creates minimal height, used to connect rounds or join pieces with a seamless appearance
• BPsc (back post single crochet) – A post stitch variation that works around the back of the previous stitch post, creating raised texture
• ch (chain) – The foundation stitch in crochet, creating a series of loops that serve as the base for subsequent rows
• hdc (half double crochet) – A medium-height stitch that builds fabric quickly while maintaining structure
• sc (single crochet) – A short, tight stitch that creates dense, durable fabric ideal for scrubbies
• dc (double crochet) – A taller stitch that adds height and drape to crocheted pieces

Materials and Tools

This pattern requires a 3.25mm (D) crochet hook and 25-35 yards of yarn. The recommended yarn is Knit Picks Shine Sport in either "Blush" or "Robot" colorways, which are #2 sport weight options. Alternatively, crafters may substitute with #3 light weight cotton, tencel, or bamboo yarn of their choice. These fiber options are particularly suitable for face scrubbies because they offer gentle exfoliation while remaining soft enough for facial use. Additional materials include a yarn needle for weaving in ends and scissors for cutting yarn.
