The Bee's Knees Face Cloth: Small Face Cloth Free Crochet Pattern

2K Shares

We just learned how to make the Tunisian Honeycomb crochet stitch in my newest video, so let’s put that tutorial to use with a fun, fast, and free small face cloth crochet pattern!

The Bee’s Knees Face Cloth

This face cloth is small, only about 5″ wide and 5″ tall. But that’s the perfect size to lather up a bit of face soap and cleanse your skin and clean behind your ears! We are using the Tunisian Honeycomb stitch because, well, we just learned it and we want to perfect our skillz (with a “z”) while making something USEFUL in the process. I’m thinking these would be a great addition to a spa gift basket!

Materials:

Soft Cotton yarn (I used I Love this Cotton!)
-approx. 19 yards
Tunisian crochet hook in size H/5mm

Notes:

This pattern uses the Tunisian Honeycomb Stitch (THS) which alternates Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS) with Tunisian Purl Stitch (TPS). Find a video tutorial for the Tunisian Honeycomb here.

Pattern:

Row 1: Ch-20, TSS in back bar of 2nd ch and each ch to end. Ch-1, * yarn over, pull through two loops. * repeat between * * to end.

Row 2: TSS in first bar, TPS in next. Alternate TSS and TPS to end. Go through both sides of “V” on last stitch from previous row. Chain-1, * yarn over, pull through two loops. * repeat between * * to end.

Row 3: TPS in first, TSS in next. Alternate TPS and TSS to end. Go through both sides of last stitch from previous row. Chain-1, * yarn over, pull through two loops. * repeat between * * to end.

Repeat rows 2 & 3 to 17 rows, or until piece is square.

Slip stitch across last row. Do not fasten off, instead start border.

Border:

Sc in each row end/stitch around entire face cloth, placing two single crochets in each corner.

Fasten off using Invisible Join and you.are.done!

If this isn’t a great way to learn a new stitch, I don’t know what is! Throw a set of these in a spa gift basket for a teenager’s birthday gift, or a teacher appreciation gift, or this may even be a nice addition to a baby shower gift. Hmmm, small bath time wash cloth for baby?
