Heart Face Scrubby Free Knitting Pattern
Heart Face Scrubby Free Knitting Pattern
A Free Knitting Pattern from Liz @PurlsandPixels
I’d like to give you all a little gift this Valentines day, so I have written up a quick heart face scrubby free knitting pattern. Enjoy! (P.S. I’m supposed to tell you that the links to Amazon on this site are affiliate links; if you use them to make a purchase, Amazon sends me a commission, at no cost to you.)
I love to use little handmade cotton squares to use with makeup remover and micellar water. Rather repeatedly throwing away disposable cotton pads, I make my own little face scrubbies with cotton yarn. After I use one, I put it in a Mason Jar, then when my collection is dirty I wash them up. A little OxyClean in the wash really helps to get them clean of makeup residue and then they’re ready to use again.
These little heart scrubbies are super quick to make. The simple pattern also makes them easy to knit. They don’t use much yarn either, so they’re great for using up leftover scrap yarn.
Make a bunch for your own facial care routine. Or create a little gift basket for Valentines Day or other holidays. Add several scrubbies, a wide-mouth mason jar (for storing used scrubbies that need to be washed), and makeup remover or micellar water to a cute basket and you’ve got a beautiful handmade spa basket. You could even throw in some nice soap and a few full-sized washcloths to make it extra-special (find my seed stitch washcloth pattern here).

Care
If you use the materials called for in the pattern, your final product will be machine washable. To keep your heart face scrubbies looking their best, hand wash or machine wash separately on delicate cycle in cold water. A scoop of OxiClean can be added to the wash to help remove makeup residue. You may tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry.
Note: these scrubbies will shrink from 3 x 3.5 inches to 3 x 3 inches after washing as directed above.
