I don’t know about you, but all of this hot weather we have been having has left me wanting to live in the shower! It has been scorching hasn’t?! With that in mind, I thought it was the perfect time to crochet some pretty pastel re-usable bathroom accessories!
Pretty pastel washcloth
I used a cotton yarn for these makes for obvious reasons. They are going to submersed in water the majority of the time so you want them to keep their rigidity! And cotton yarn is super soft so ideal for all of the family to use!
First I crocheted myself a washcloth using white, teal and pink yarn. It is a really easy pattern to follow. I will be posting individual posts for each make, so keep an eye out for those.
Scrub a dub dubbing with my new crochet shower puff!
I loved making this crochet shower puff! It’s super easy and I kind of went on to autopilot throughout. You see, it doesn’t take too much brainpower! And after a busy day, that’s just what I like.
Add a little soap and it lathers up really well. This one is the largest size and I have also made a couple of smaller ones for the boys.
It’s already done a few cycles in the washing machine. I do love that by using this I am cutting down on waste, and not having to keep replacing it.
Eco-friendly face scrubbies
Crochet face scrubbies are great for removing makeup, cleansing or applying skin creams and lotions. They are really quick to make and I think they look lovely and colourful in my mini mason jar in the bathroom.
I think all of the above make great handmade gifts too. I have already made up a few gift sets of my own. Just add some bath bombs and a nice bar of soap and it makes a lovely little pampering gift for someone.
Have you made anything recently? Or perhaps you loathe crafts and prefer to buy instead!
Gosh I’d love to be able to do this, I can plait hair but not work with wool- I tried that arm knitting technique with knots and oh deary me. Neither of my grandmothers did this or knitting so I feel bereft of a skill!! #MMBC
I love the idea of the shower puff. Must give it a go. I’ve made face scrubbies and flannels, but not thought to crochet a puff. Bet it’s nicer to use than the net versions. Isn’t it wonderful to move away from the one use versions? #MMBC
these are so cute i love them
Brilliant ideas, I keep thinking of starting up crocheting again (did as a child with my Nan) and these items would be so useful. I really think I’m going to give it another go. Wish me luck
Very talented, I wish I could crochet, would love to reuse more things too.
i had never thought about crocheting things like this but it makes sense they can be washed and reused or given as gifts with some soaps 🙂
I also made my own , love them now i got used to
I’d really love to learn to crochet and the face scrubbies look like a great place to start! #MMBC
These are so cute. I love the colours.
They are very practical too. Great ideas x
These are so cute and colourful! I’ve never tried to crochet before but I love the idea of the eco friendly theme #MMBC
These look great. I def want to learn how to crochet.
Thanks for sharing, Jayne. Great ideas!
absolutely adore all these <3
Wow love these, great idea.
This is such a great way to reduce plastic use, and keep the bathroom colourful 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration!
Your very talented these look great I couldn’t crochet like you
Fabulous ideas! I especially love the shower scrunchie. I really must give these a go x
Great ideas! I would love to make the bathroom scrubber!
I would love to try to make a shower scrunchie! I would love to make some with my nieces!
I think these are Wonderful. They look truly pretty / cheery / Bright / Beautiful, etc. So, so practical. Lovely for a gift, or part of a Gift Set.
Also the aspect of being Cotton :- Gentle on the skin. Machine Washable :- Great, as Personal Hygiene is an Important Aspect of Everday Life. We NEED to be able to get these items cleaned and dry in order to Reduce the Risk of Infection :- Whether that be Bacterial, Viral, Etc, etc.
I only wish I could crochet. Please give Clear, Easy to Follow Instructions, and I may make an attempt. As could be particularly useful / Practical / Helpful for Babies, Mothers, Children, Adults :- Some with skin conditions, Older Adults, etc. So seems Extremely Versatile. Could be Personalised for Each Individual :- Favourite colour, Colour Co – Ordinates with Toiletries / Bathroom. Colour Therapy could be Considered. Different colour, or range of colours :- Easy Identification of Individual’s washcloth, etc. As need to avoid Risk of Spread of Infection.
Like the idea of the Face Scrubbies and they look so pretty too.
I have something similar to the face scrubbies, but from a different material…and I use it for dishes. That pattern with whatever material it’s made out of is fantastic for scrubbing dishes!
It never occurred to me to make something like this, it’s so simple I could even teach the kids!
Still can’t crochet. Though would like to be able to. Perhaps I will find someone who can teach me. As I do like the items shown on this blog, and they would be nice as gifts for family and friends, etc.
These look beautiful and would make a great gift all packaged together with a really nice soap (that’s an idea for me for the daughter). Thanks for sharing
What a good idea and being creative at the same time
what brilliant ideas! I think I will start to make these – they look so good and are reusable
I like the wash scrunchie , I once did this as well
I have been thinking of making a few of these myself but haven’t gotten round to it yet. I wondered how they would hold up with regular use so it’s good to see someone using them and that being effective.
I would love to be able to crochet
I love the alternative to the cotton pads. And so easy to do!
