Scrubby Crochet Pattern
Making a crocheted scrubby is so much fun, and there are several different uses for them. This scrubby crochet pattern will walk you through the step-by-step process of making three different types of crocheted scrubbies in a fun and easy way.
These free crochet patterns are so much fun to make, plus they don’t take a very long time to complete a little scrubby. There are three main types of scrubbies you can make. The first is used as a face scrubby, in the second two types as dish scrubbies. Both types of scrubbies are very useful and easy to make.
What is a Crochet Scrubby?
A crochet scrubby can come in many different forms. Today I am going to share free patterns with you for three different kinds of scrubbies. Two that are used in your kitchen, and another kind that is used to clean your face.
Why Crochet a Scrubby?
Crochet scrubbies are very handy to have around. You can use them to help clean the nasty stuff off of your dirty dishes. Plus you can make them in a variety of sizes.
The other type of scrubby is a crochet face scrubby. This can help you wash your face, and remove any traces of makeup.
Both of these crochet scrubbies make great items to have around your house, or to give away as gifts!
Crochet Scrubbies
Little scrubbies are a fun and easy project that you can easily make by hand. One of the amazing things about making crocheted scrubbies by hand is the rich textures crochet stitches make in the scrubbies.
No matter what type of crochet scrubby you are making, this pattern will help you make them each step of the way, then you can enjoy using them yourself, or giving these little scrubbies away as gifts.
The great thing about these crochet scrubby patterns is that they are useful for many different things. One of the main uses for a crochet scrubby is to use it as part of your skin care routine. This way you can make a few scrubbies, then reuse them and not have to continually buy items to wash your face.
Another perfect thing about these homemade scrubbies is that they make a fantastic alternative to a kitchen sponge. After all, everyone has dirty dishes to clean, and those frustrating pans that are so difficult to clean. Your crocheted scrubby can be the perfect solution to helping you keep your dishes nice and clean.
Crochet Cotton Face Scrubbies
A reusable face scrubby can be made out of cotton crochet yarn. This makes them nice and soft to use on your skin. But you can make just a few of these projects, then reuse them each day as needed. That way you don’t have to continually buy cotton to clean your face, instead you can enjoy making your own reusable face scrubbies.
Free Round Scrubby Crochet Pattern
Crocheted tulle scrubbies are a type of thick crochet scrubby made out of a special type of tulle yarn. These are fun scrubbies to make if you’re looking for a great housewarming gift, or simply something to help you clean your own dishes.
Because of the type of yarn these crochet scrubbies are made from, they are a great way to clean your dishes. The yarn used for this kind of scrubby is particularly thick and has a very rough texture. Making this a perfect cleaning tool.
Scrub-Ology Cotton
Another great way to make a scrubby using a special type of cotton scrubby yarn that can be used either as a rough face cleaner, or a handy tool to clean the dishes. My preference is to use it to clean dishes because it is such an effective tool but not quite as rough as the tulle yarn.
This pattern can also be given as a gift or used yourself. If you’re looking to make something for the person on your list that is very hard to give a gift, then choosing one of these patterns might be a perfect solution. After all, everyone can use a scrubby!
Simple Stitches Used
These patterns use only a few basic crochet stitches to make each of these patterns. Let’s look at an overview of each of the simple stitches used.
Magic Ring. The magic ring, or a magic circle is a stitch that is used as the base for any round project. For a step-by-step tutorial on how to make a magic ring, make sure to check out this post.
Chain Stitch. A chain stitch is another very basic stitch that is used as the foundation of many types of projects. To make a chain stitch you’ll first create the magic ring, or slip stitch then wrap the yarn around the hook from the back towards the front, in what is called a yarn over. Pull the new loop through the loop previously on your hook to make a chain stitch.
Single Crochet. A single crochet stitch is another basic stitch used in most crochet projects. To make a single crochet stitch, insert the hook into the stitch indicated, yarn over, and pull up a loop. There are now two loops on the hook. Yarn over again and pull the new loop through the previous two loops on the hook to make a single crochet stitch.
Double Crochet. A double crochet stitch is similar to that of a single crochet, but with a few more steps added. To make a double crochet stitch, yarn over, and then insert the hook into the stitch indicated. Yarn over and pull up a loop. There are now three loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through the first two loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through the remaining loops on the hook to make a double crochet stitch.
Half Double Crochet. A half-double crochet stitch is in between a single crochet and a double crochet. To make a half-double crochet stitch, first yarn over. Then insert your hook into the stitch indicated, yarn over and pull up a loop. There are now three loops on the hook. Yarn over, and pull through all three loops on the hook to make a half-double crochet stitch.
The Different Types of Yarn
When it comes to making a crocheted scrubby there are several different types of yarn to choose from. Here is a look at the three types of yarn that I would recommend using for each of these projects. Keep in mind you can adjust as desired; these are simply my recommendations.
Face Scrubby Using Soft Cotton Yarn
To make a face scrubby, you are going to want to use soft cotton yarn. It will work best if you use 100% worsted weight cotton yarn. You can find this in the type of yarn that’s used for dish cloths, or 100% cotton yarn such as the 24/7 cotton yarn.
Make sure that whatever type of cotton you choose to use is soft, as it will make a big difference. It can be scrap yarn, or any type of leftover yarn that you have on hand, as you won’t need very much for your face scrubbies. It’s also fun to consider using different strands of yarn, or bright colors of yarn to make your projects.
Kitchen Dish Scrubby
To make your kitchen dish scrubby, some good options are to use Red Heart scrubby yarn, or Hobby Lobby’s Scrub Ology Scrub It yarns. These types of yarn are much rougher and have a texture that will easily clean items around your kitchen.
Scrub-Ology Cotton
The other type of yarn that I would recommend using is also found at Hobby Lobby, and that is their Scrub Ology cotton. You don’t need much yarn, to make one scrubby you will need less than a skein most likely.
Each of these scrubby options is a great project to make whether you are looking to make a scrubby for yourself or as a gift to give away. Finding the perfect yarn is a great place to start before you begin making the scrubby crochet pattern.
Hook Size
The crochet hook size that you will need will largely depend on what type of yarn you are using. I would suggest referencing your package to see what the manufacturer recommends for hook size, then try using that hook size.
Now that you know all the tips and tricks, let’s start by looking at the free patterns to make three different styles of crochet scrubbies.

Crochet Dish Scrubbies
Round 1: ch 20 sts. Skip the first two sts, and make a hdc in each st until you reach the end. In the last st, make 3 hdc sts, turn the project over, and continue working the hdc sts in each stitch on the other side until you reach the beginning. Make 2 hdc sts in the last st, then join with a sl st.
Round 2: ch 1, make a hdc st in each stitch around. When you reach the end of the second row, you don’t have to finish off, or join. You can continue working the hdc stitches in a continuous round, until the scrubby forms a square.
To finish off, you can slip stitch across the top stitches to join the two sides, or you can use a yarn needle to sew the top together.
How to start using your scrubbies right away
You can start using your scrubbies as soon as you finish making them. The kitchen scrubbies are perfect to help you wash out dirty dishes. And the face scrubbies come in really handy to help wash your face clean.
What material is used to make scrubbies?
There are many different types of scrubby-specific yarn available now which is perfect for making kitchen scrubbies. I found my scrubby yarn at Hobby Lobby. They have all different varieties of rough textured yarn that can clean surfaces really well.
Tips for Using Scrubby Yarns
When you are making crochet scrubbies, make sure to choose a yarn that you are comfortable working with. You will want to make sure that it’s not too grippy, and you can still find your stitches to work.
Otherwise, it is a matter of your preference as to what type of yarn you want to work with while crocheting, but also, what type of yarn you think will make the best kitchen scrubby.

Making any of these scrubby pattern options are fun in quick projects. Plus not only are these fun projects to make, but they also double as a fabulous gift. If you’re looking for an easy crochet project, then you might consider giving one of these patterns a try!
