These little pads measure approx 4 inches across and work up in about 10 minutes. I am already thinking ahead to Christmas. Wouldn't these make great stocking stuffers?! They would be great in a little care package for someone, too. Maybe a "pamper yourself" package. Hey, that gives me a few ideas!......
Ok to the pattern...
Crochet Cleansing Pad |
Facial Cleansing Pad
What you will need:
G hook
Worsted cotton yarn. I used Sugar and Cream
Scissors
Yarn needle
Stitch marker (you can use a scrap piece of yarn, or if you are good at keeping your count, not use one at all)
Abbreviations
ch-chain
St/st’s-stitch/stitches
Hdc-half double crochet
Start with Magic circle. (or you can ch 2 and work in the second ch from the hook)
Round 1: ch 1, 10 hdc into circle. Join with first hdc. (10hdc)
***You will be working in the 3rd loop of each stitch for the rest of the rounds.
The third loop is located just behind the second loop of the stitch.***
Round 2: ch 1, 2 hdc in each st around. Do not join your rounds from here on out. (20 hdc)
Round 3: ch 1, *2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in next st*. Repeat around. (30 hdc)
Round 4: ch 1, *2 hdc in first st, 1 hdc in next 2 st’s*. Repeat around. (40 hdc)
To finish: Sc into next 2 st’s, sl st into next 2 st's. Fasten off.
Pull your magic circle closed and secure it.
Weave in ends.
what a thoughtful gift!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, but how do you print this page?
ReplyDeleteI had no problem printing ~ just right clicked on pattern and clicked on print. Printer screen came up and I told it to print. :-)
ReplyDeleteOf course I'm a lot older than most of you but in my teens and 20's we made these only we used tulle and netting instead of cotton. My method is a bit more "scrubby" and the net ones can be used in the kitchen!! Barb
ReplyDeleteI love the tulle style! I have made a few, but I'm not happy with the pattern just yet. It needs to be tweeked. :)
DeleteSince these are so simple, wouldn't it be nice to make up a bunch and send to our troops overseas. I bet there are some ladies that would love them
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea!
