Materials:
- 4.0mm crochet hook
- Yarn Needle
- Scissors
- Approximately 20 yards of any medium 4 worsted weight cotton yarn per pad
Yarn:
- Knit Picks Dishie Yarn, Weight 4 Medium Worsted Yarn (100% Cotton, 190 yd / 174 m, 3.5 oz / 100 g)
- Colours Used: Blush, Conch, Begonia, and Kenai
Yarn Note:
I chose to use Dishie yarn for my crochet face scrubbies, but you can use any cotton yarn as a substitute. Cotton yarn is recommended because it is soft, durable and absorbent.
Care and Washing Instructions:
- Before cutting off the yarn tails, PLEASE weave in your ends. The Magic Ring is not secure on its own because it is not made with a knot. To secure this end, pull it tight to close the magic ring, weave it through a few stitches, making one or two knots as you weave. By weaving in your ends securely, you can ensure that your facial pads will hold up over time, and won’t unravel in the wash.
- Wash your reusable cotton face pads with your towels and sheets in warm water.
- Use the delicate cycle.
- Lay flat and let them air dry.
