The pretty Calm Clusters Face Scrubby is made using the two double crochet cluster stitch. This lovely, easy stitch creates the best of both worlds for a lightly textured combined facial scrubby/make-up round. Soft and smooth on one side, great for make-up removal. Bumpy and textured on the other, perfect for gentle exfoliation.
The Calm Clusters Face Scrubby crochet pattern is part of a collection of patterns featured in the September Spa CAL 2024. This Crochet-Along runs all through September with four new free patterns for pampering yourself or making as a gorgeous gift set. Make just the ones you like most or the whole set and you can join in at any time.

The face scrubby crochet pattern has been made for easy use for make-up removal and frequent washing and there is a mesh washbag releasing next week to store or wash them.

Special Stitches/Techniques
Two Double Crochet Cluster (2dc-cl) = A simple cluster stitch made from two double crochet stitches worked together as one stitch: *Yo, insert hook into indicated st, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops on hook, in same stitch repeat from * once more, yo, pull through all 3 loops on hook (2dc-cl stitch complete). See 2dc-cl Tutorial. Working this stitch in the round looks a little different to rows. It results in a smooth side and a textured side (the “wrong” or back side), which is perfect for a combined make-up round and facial scrubby.

I just got the ebook and have to say well written and presented. With all the different colours and combo’s this could easily be the unisex pattern for Xmas gifting. Even the men in our lives could use a washcloth or soap caddy so be it pink, browns or rainbows this is my pattern bundle of gifting. If sitting on the fence it’s well worth it. Then just to find an equivalent pattern to suit all little people.
