Intermediate
Techniques used: Side puff stitches picot single crochet, shells, post stitches, working in the back bar of a single crochet, working in the 3rd loop of an half double crochet.

(Optional) 20-25 yards Yarn Bee Scrub-Ology in “Snow Drifts”

Scissors

Stitches Used:
ch/chs = chain/chains
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
BPsc = back post single crochet
BPhdc = back post half double crochet
BPdc = back post double crochet

Additional Terms:
Back bar of sc: look at the back of the stitch and locate the short bar that runs horizontal. Work all designated stitches for the round into this bar. This is a different location than the back loop!
Working in the 3rd Loop of hdc: Look at the top of the stitch, and locate the sideways “V”, bend the stitch to look at the back and you should see another “V” made by the “yarn over”. You’ll be working into the back loop of that “V”. This is called the 3rd loop.
Side Puff Stitch: dc in designated stitch, insert hook around post of dc stitch just worked, YO, pull up a loop 3 times around same st, YO and pull through all remaining loops. This stitch consists of both a dc and a puff stitch. The stitch totals at the end of the round reflect these pieces separately.
Picot Single Crochet (psc) (also known as the Granule Stitch): Insert hook, yo, pull up a loop, yo, draw through 1 loop 3 times to make a ch 3, then yo, and draw through both loops on the hook. Pull your ch-3 sp towards the front of your work instead of pushing it toward the back.
Small Bobble:  YO, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop, YO, draw through 2 loops 4 times, YO, draw through all remaining loops on hook.
BLO = back loop only
st/sts = stitch/stitches
sp/sps = space/spaces
prev = previous

Gauge:
Gauge isn’t particularly important for this project. Circle should measure approximately 4 1/2” across after round 6, and 6 1/4” across after round 10.

Measurements:
Washcloth: Approximately 9 ½” across
Face Scrubby: 3 ¼” across

Additional Notes:
-Ch-1 at beginning of round does not count as st.
-Unless otherwise indicated, round begins in same stitch as join.
-Unless otherwise indicated slip stitches are not counted as a stitch and are not worked into.
-(Optional) Use Yarn Bee Scrub-Ology Cotton in “Snow Drifts” in rounds 5 and 11 to add extra exfoliation ability to your washcloth.
