Crochet Face scrubbies

I don't wear a lot of makeup (foundation) but when I do, I feel like I can't remove the makeup! These cotton scrubbies are perfect for washing my face. Just throw it in the laundry and reuse! I'm assuming the little monster in the washing machine or dryer will eventually steal it as they have been with our socks. So it's a good idea to make extra! haha

These are pretty simple to make. 
It's just like starting any hat pattern.
You use very little yarn.
You need to know how to do a slip knots, chain stitches, 
single crochets (SC), & double crochets (DC).
You can start with a magic circle or a chain stitch.
You can make these for yourself or gifts for your girlfriends.
Make it slightly bigger, & it's a coaster! haha

SUPPLIES:

Cotton Yarn (I used Peaches & Creme)
Crochet Hook (5mm)
Scissors
Yarn Needle



DIRECTIONS:

Starting with a slip knot:
Create what looks like a pretzel (1)
Pull yarn up with hook (2)
Pull ends to tighten but not too tight! (3)
Yarn over (4)
Pull through loop (5)
Chain 5 (6)



Slip stitch to join into the first stitch

Put hook through loop (1)
Yarn over and pull through loop (2)
Completed slip stitch (3)


Row 1: 8 single crochets (sc):
Place hook in the middle of loop (1)
Yarn over & pull the yarn through hook (2)
You will have 2 loops on the hook (2)
Yarn over again (2)
Pull through both loops (3)
Slip stitch at the end to join (4)



Row 2: 16 double crochets (dc):
Chain 2
Yarn over & go through the 1st stitch (1)
Yarn over & pull through
You will now have 3 loops on hook (2)
Yarn over pull through 2 loops only (2 - 3)
Yarn over and pull through remaining 2 loops (3)
Repeat another dc in the same stitch
You will have 2 dc in each stitch for a total of 16 stitches (4)
Slip stitch at the end to join (5)




Row 3: 24 double crochets (dc)
Chain 2
1 dc in the first stitch
2 dc in the next stitch
1 in the next stitch
2 in the next stitch...
You repeat this all the way around for a total of 24 stitches
Slip stitch at the end to join


Cut off yarn and pull tail through.
Using Yarn needle, sew both ends into the scrubbies.




Now make another!
