If you’re trying to cut down on bathroom waste, reusable cotton rounds are one of the easiest swaps to make. This crochet pattern creates soft, sturdy rounds made with 100% cotton yarn, so they can be washed, dried, and used again (and again).

You can find the free pattern below, or you can purchase the ad-free printable PDF from my shop.
Reusable cotton rounds are a small change that adds up: fewer disposable pads in the trash, less frequent store runs, and a little money saved over time.
Use them the same way you’d use single-use cotton pads; removing makeup, applying toner or micellar water, cleansing your face, or handling little skincare tasks. I like to keep a stack by the sink, toss used ones in a small mesh bag, and toss them in the washing machine on laundry day.
