How To Crochet Face Scrubbies
To crochet face scrubbies you need to grab a crochet hook and yarn.
These are crocheted in the round, from the center outwards.
You will make a magic circle, then crochet puff stitches into it.
The next few rows consists of puff stitches in a combination with double crochet stitches.
Finally you will crochet one round of the reverse single crochet.
Yarn For Crochet Face Scrubbies
For the crochet face scrubbies you can use any leftover yarn you may already have from a bigger crochet project.
It is recommended to use a soft cotton yarn, as this will feel best against your skin.
The yarn from Tante Grøn called Havblik is a dk weight yarn, but you can also pick up a worsted weight yarn, and especially a worsted-weight cotton yarn.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.
