Tunisian crochet face scrubby

Tunisian Crochet Face Scrubby by Andrea Crețu

What Is Being Made

The Tunisian crochet face scrubby is a small, circular facial cleansing accessory designed for gentle skincare use. These compact, textured scrubbers are quick projects suitable for crafters of all skill levels, with each piece taking approximately 30 minutes to complete from start to finish. The design encourages making multiples, as the pattern is both satisfying to create and practical for personal use or gifting.

Techniques and Construction

This pattern utilizes Tunisian crochet, a hybrid technique that combines elements of both crochet and knitting. The scrubby is worked in the round, creating a seamless, circular construction. The defining characteristic of this design is the use of Tunisian simple stitches, which produce a distinctly soft and textured fabric. This stitch choice sets these scrubbers apart from traditional crocheted face scrubbies by delivering superior softness while maintaining excellent exfoliating properties.

Stitches Used

• Tunisian simple stitch – the primary stitch throughout the pattern, worked in circular rounds to build the scrubby's structure and texture

Materials and Yarn Requirements

This pattern accommodates multiple yarn weights, offering flexibility in material selection:

• 6-ply yarn
• DK (double knitting) weight yarn
• Sport weight yarn

The pattern requires a crochet hook appropriate to your chosen yarn weight. The soft texture achieved through Tunisian simple stitches works particularly well with these medium-weight yarns, creating a gentle exfoliating surface suitable for facial use.

Difficulty Level

Rated as a beginner project, this pattern is accessible to new crocheters while remaining enjoyable for experienced makers. The straightforward construction and manageable project size make it an excellent introduction to Tunisian crochet techniques.
