Face Scrubs & Basket

Face Scrubs & Basket by Burgundy & Blush

Project Overview

This downloadable crochet pattern from Burgundy & Blush offers a beginner-friendly project featuring two complementary items: simple face scrubbie rounds and a matching basket designed to store them. The set combines practical functionality with straightforward construction, making it an ideal introduction to basic crochet techniques.

What Is Being Made

The pattern includes two distinct components. The face scrubbies are small, circular washcloths created using a simple double crochet pattern worked in the round. These practical items are designed for gentle facial cleansing and exfoliation. The basket is a small decorative storage container with shaped sides and decorative chain spaces, providing a charming way to organize and display the finished scrubbies.

Crochet Techniques Used

This pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The face scrubbies are constructed using the magic ring method to create a seamless center, followed by simple increases worked in the round. The basket demonstrates basic shaping techniques, including working multiple stitches into single stitches to create increases and decorative chain spaces for visual interest. Both components utilize slip stitches to join rounds and maintain structure.

Stitches Used

• Double Crochet (DC) – the primary stitch forming the main fabric of both scrubbies and basket
• Chain (CH) – used for foundation chains and decorative spacing elements
• Slip Stitch (SS) – employed to join rounds and secure stitches
• Treble Crochet (TC) – listed in abbreviations for reference

Materials & Tools

This project requires minimal materials, making it economical and accessible. The pattern calls for less than one skein of Aran or Worsted weight cotton yarn, which provides durability and absorbency ideal for face scrubbing applications. A 5.5mm crochet hook is used throughout the pattern to work with the Aran weight yarn. Basic finishing supplies include scissors and a yarn needle for weaving in ends and securing the final stitches.

Difficulty Level

Rated as a beginner project, this pattern is accessible to crocheters new to the craft. The straightforward stitch selection, simple pattern repeats, and minimal shaping make it an excellent choice for developing foundational skills while creating useful, finished items.
