Scrubbie Free Crochet Pattern
Crochet your own reusable cotton balls or small 3.5″ scrubbies. Pamper yourself or Baby with eco-friendly cloths you crochet yourself. Be sure to use cotton to create the softest, most delicious, crocheted scrubbies to remove makeup smoothly and clean gently around your eyes. Baby will appreciate the softness as the rounded edges clean around neck, ears, and other sensitive areas. These rounded washcloths, made the perfect size, will not flip or fold in your hand as you work around sensitive areas.

I’m a little confused. If you have 12 stitches at the end of round two, and you are making three stitches in each, shouldn’t you have 36 stitches instead of 18 at the end of the third round? And then you’re doing 4 stitches in each at the end of the next round, but you say only 24 stitches instead of… uh, 4×36 is 144?
Hi, Lianne ~ Round 3 is actually one stitch followed by two in the next and repeated. Good luck!
Ah, that would explain the confusion. I wasn’t reading the comma as jump to the next stitch. Thanks.
No worries. I tend to do the same. (I’m horrible at reading patterns, honestly.)
