Level of Difficulty

• Beginner to Intermediate: The process involves simple crochet techniques like magic rings, single crochets, and popcorn stitches. However, precision and some familiarity with basic crochet skills are required.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s an overview of the steps to create the scrubby:

1. Making the Magic Ring

• Start by creating a magic ring.
• Chain 1, and make 10 single crochets into the ring.
• Close the round with a slip stitch in the first chain.

2. Round 2: Popcorn Stitches

• Chain 2 to begin the second round.
• Create 10 popcorn stitches:
  • Follow this pattern: yarn over, crochet three or four times in the same chain, stretch the loops, and pull the yarn through all the loops.
  • Chain 2 after every popcorn stitch.
• Complete 10 popcorns and close the round with a slip stitch.

3. Round 3: Adding Depth with Popcorns

• Chain 2 and continue with alternating patterns:
  • In two chain spaces: make 2 popcorn stitches.
  • In the next chain, make 1 popcorn stitch.
• Alternate between 2 popcorns and 1 popcorn in chains, creating 15 popcorn stitches in total.
• Finish the round by closing with a slip stitch.
• 

4. Round 4: Boundary with Single Crochets

• Chain 1 and make single crochets to form the boundary:
  • In each two-chain space, make 2 single crochets.
  • On top of each popcorn, make 1 single crochet.
• Continue this pattern to complete the boundary.
• Close with a slip stitch.

5. Creating the Back Strap

• Begin by making single crochets on the back loops of the boundary. Create 4 single crochets, followed by:
  • Chain 1 and turn.
  • Skip the first chain and continue making a decreasing pattern of single crochets.
• Repeat until the strap reaches the desired length (in this case, 8 rows).
• Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.

6. Attaching the Strap

• Sew the strap onto the body of the scrubby:
  • Position it centrally on the back side.
  • Use the remaining tail and a needle to stitch through the front loops of the chains on the strap and scrubby boundary.
• Tie a knot to secure the strap and trim excess yarn.

Uses

• Face Scrubbing: Gently exfoliates and cleans your face.
• Hand Scrubbing: Can be used to clean or exfoliate the hands.

Tutor’s Suggestions

• Ensure that the popcorn stitches are uniform for a neater design.
• When sewing the strap, position it centrally to ensure proper functionality.
• Keep the tension of the yarn consistent while crocheting to maintain the shape of the scrubby.
• Customize the size of the scrubby and strap to your preference or to fit your hands better.

Tip

To ensure the scrubby stays soft for repeated use, use high-quality yarn that is gentle on the skin. Cotton yarn is an excellent choice for this purpose.
