Scrubbies are all the rage right now. They’re eco-friendly thanks to being reusable, they’re great on skin and they make the perfect gift- especially a last minute one! So here’s my pattern for Star Scrubbies, a magical take on an old favourite!

If you’d like to buy me a festive hot chocolate as a thank you then please head to my Etsy and purchase a pattern, or click one of the adverts on this page which helps me earn a small commission. Every little helps!

You will need:

• 10g of an Aran Weight cotton yarn. I used Schachenmayr Catania in White as I had some left over from my Canyon Crochet Top.
• 5g of a scrubby yarn. I used Yarn Bee Scrub-ology Cotton in Signs of Spring. Make sure you’re using a cotton yarn if you plan on using this on your body so it’s not too abrasive.
• 6mm crochet hook (I use a KnitPro Waves hook which you can get here)
• Yarn Needle for those pesky ends!
• Scissors

Pattern

With white cotton.

Make a magic circle (alternatively ch5 and SlSt to join into a circle)

Round 1: Ch3 and 2TCtog to make first BS. Repeat [Ch1, BS] 4 times. Join to top of 3TCtog with Slst and change to scrubby yarn.

Round 2: Ch3, [2TC, 1Ch, 3TC] in same st. *Ch1, [3TC, Ch1, 3TC] in top of BS below*. Repeat from * to * in each BS around. Join to top of beginning Ch3 with SlSt and fasten off.

Round 3: With white cotton, rejoin to any Ch1-sp from the [3TC, Ch1, 3TC] repeat from the round below. Ch3. [2TC, 3Ch, 3TC] in this Ch1-sp. *SlSt into next Ch1-sp. *[3TC, 3Ch, 3TC] into next Ch1-sp. SlSt into next Ch1-sp*. Repeat from * to * all the way around. Join with SlSt to top of beginning Ch3. Fasten off.

Round 4: rejoin scrubby yarn. DC in every st around and 3DC, 3Ch, 3DC in every 3Ch-sp from the round before. Go around the star in this way and then join with SlSt to first st. Fasten off and weave in all ends.
