Face Scrubbie- Severna Scrubbie

Severna Scrubbie Face Scrubbie by Josie Bailey

What is Being Made

The Severna Scrubbie is a knitted face scrubbie designed for gentle facial cleansing and exfoliation. This small, practical accessory is ideal for skincare routines and makes an excellent handmade gift. The finished scrubbie is compact and easy to use, requiring less than 50 yards of yarn to complete.

Craft and Techniques

This project is created using the knitting craft method. The Severna Scrubbie is classified as an easy beginner-level knitting project, making it perfect for those new to knitting or looking for a quick, satisfying make. The pattern uses straightforward knitting techniques accessible to knitters of all experience levels.

Stitches and Construction

The pattern employs fundamental knitting stitches including:

• Knit (K) stitches for the primary fabric structure
• Purl (P) stitches for texture and pattern variation

The scrubbie is constructed using double-pointed knitting needles (DPNs), which allow for seamless, circular knitting. A stitch marker is used to track the beginning of rounds during construction.

Materials Required

The Severna Scrubbie uses worsted weight yarn, specifically size 4 medium weight cotton yarn in a small quantity of less than 50 yards. The recommended yarn brand is Lily® Sugar 'n Cream® Yarn, available in colors including Overcast, White, and Strawberry. Cotton yarn is ideal for scrubbies due to its durability, absorbency, and gentle texture on skin.

Essential tools include:

• Four U.S. 10 (6 mm) double-pointed knitting needles (DPNs)
• A stitch marker for tracking rounds
• A darning needle for finishing and weaving in ends
