Design Story and Inspiration for this Textured Face Scrubby
Every year I design a new face scrubby pattern for gift-giving, but I have to admit, I honestly make and keep most of these for myself. Ever since I decided to use my craft to replace some disposable things around the house, I’ve been “hooked”. 😀
I really love knit and crochet face scrubbies and use them all the time. I even throw them in the washing machine with my regular clothes and they come out great (just make sure you use cotton yarn)!
I designed this pattern because I was really needing some new face scrubbies, and I love trying new combinations of textured stitches for useful items around the house!
Yarn Options for this Free Crochet Face Scrubby Pattern
You can really use any yarn you like for this pattern, as long as it is cotton yarn – preferably 100% cotton. The yarn I used to make these is Yarn Bee Sugarwheel Cotton, which is a DK weight yarn from our local Hobby Lobby store.
If you want the same size that I got for mine, choose a DK weight yarn (category #3). If you don’t mind it being a slightly different size, feel free to use other weights of cotton yarn. Just be aware that they tighten up in the wash, so a smaller square might become tiny.

Bean Stitch Face Scrubby Pattern Details
This pattern has a ton of texture and that’s thanks to the nature of the bean stitch. It’s a wonderfully textured stitch formed by drawing up loops in the same stitch.
It’s not a hard stitch to learn and makes for great face scrubbies!
