Six Ways Knit Face Scrubbies

Six variations on a knitted face scrubby, with a variety of easy to intermediate patterns for texture and ‘scrubability’.

An easy, stash-busting knit, creating eco-friendly, reusable scrubbies with optional strap across the back. Worsted yarn held double knit on smallish needles replicates the thick texture normally achieved by crocheting (great for those who can't crochet!).

Patterns A-D need straight needles (or use your circulars/dpns)

Patterns E-F need circular needles for magic loop or double-pointed needles (instructions for magic loop only)

Time required: 15 to 40 minutes per scrubby (+ 10 minutes for a strap)

Difficulty: 4 easy patterns + 2 intermediate (knitting a small circumference in the round)

ECO CREDENTIALS: These scrubbies are designed to be knit in a natural yarn such as cotton, linen or hemp, materials that will eventually biodegrade and give back to the earth. (Organic or recycled yarn is even more eco!) They are also a replacement for single-use pads.
