Sakura Face Scrubbies

Have you ever thought of going a bit greener? Using less plastic, producing less waste? This is the time to change! Use these instead of the cotton wool you are currently using. They’re completely reusable, made of 100% cotton. You can wash them in the washing machine too when they get dirty. 🙂

This is very quick and easy project to make.

I wanted to make something different from the round face scrubbies, so this is what I came up with.

They look super cute, like little cherry blossoms, called sakura in japanese.

The pattern is beginner friendly and I hope you will enjoy making it as much as I did!

Difficulty: Easy

Size: This pattern has only one size, approx. 3.5” diameter on the widest point

Materials needed:

• 4 mm (G) size Hook (Get great hooks HERE)
• approx. 60-65 yards (30 grams) 100% Cotton DK yarn to make 5 scrubbies (I used Stylecraft Classique cotton DK and Oxford Yarns Eco Cotton in different colours)
• Yarn needle for weaving in ends
• Scissors

Stitches used and Abbreviations:

MR = magic ring

CH = chain

SK = skip

ST/STS= stitch/ stitches

Special Stitches:

Front post double crochet:

Yarn over, insert your hook from the front around the post of given stitch, from right to left, yarn over and finish your double crochet as usual.
