Find more free crochet patterns here >>

This is not an authentic Morrocan face scrubber, but inspired by one. I got a hammam treatment and she finished off by scrubbing my face with this Morrocan stone that was wrapped in crochet! So I thought, why not make one myself?

Hook: 3 mm
Yarn: Cotton, size 1/superfine/fingering. 50 g = 160 m.
Stitches: Single crochet, chains and slip stitches (US terms)

If you are able to, you can donate small or big amounts to say thanks for the pattern, this way I can continue to share free patterns:

Start by finding a pebble or stone that is soft and a comfortable size. Preferably in a uniform shape, so it is easier to crochet around it.

Boil and wash it thoroughly, lie in the sun to dry completely. Make sure to find the stone in a natural area, to avoid any chemicals and such. A natural beach or generally in a non-human interferring natural enviornment.

Then get your hook and yarn ready. Chain 4, connect to a ring. Then make 10 sc into the ring, then continue in the same direction. 2 sc into every stitch = 20 sc in the round.

Put your crochet circle onto the rock to see if it is too big/too small. If you need more width continue increasing below, otherwise skip to next step. Increase 10 sc per round by making 1 sc, 2 in the next. Next round move the increase: 1 sc into the 2 next stitches, 2 into the 3rd.

Stop the increase when you have the width that fits the stone. Make sure to stretch the crochet onto the stone! Unravel if you have too much yarn. If your stone has more height to it, make 1 or more rounds with just 1 sc into every stitch.

Don’t put the stone into the crochet yet, wait as long as you can to make it easier.

Then decrease:
1 stitch, 1 decrease. Repeat. Decrease by crocheting 2 stitches together. Continue decreasing like this or by decreasing every two stitches on the round and put the stone into your crochet to see how it fits. If there is too much crochet you can also unravel and skip some stitches. If there is too little, decrease a little less. When the round starts closing in, put the stone into the crochet and continue decreasing on every stitch, you can also sew the hole closed if it is easier for you.

If your stone, like mine, is kind of crooked and needs more stitches on one side of the row, simply stop your round approx. half way, turn with 1 ch and crochet back into every stitch on the round and continue as before. This will leave one side of the round higher than the other. Do it for more rows if needed.

Finish by making 1 ss in the opposite side of the round, then chain approx. 15, ss into the top of the scrubber, then make approc 20 sc into the loop and break off the yarn. Weave the yarn end into the inside of the scrubber.

How to use it:

Wetten the scrubber with warm water, add some face wash (preferably Morrocan or some foamy face wash) into the palm of your hand and massage the scrubber into the soap, or add the soap directly to the scrubber and massage it into it with your hand. Wetten your face and then use the scrubber in circular motions (no force needed). This will leave your skin feeling so soft and look so glowy!
