Crochet Hair Scrunchie

The elasticity provided by the crochet technique ensures a secure and comfortable fit all day long. Additionally, handmade scrunchies make thoughtful gifts for friends and family, showcasing your creativity and care.

Tip:

For optimal durability and shine, use a high-quality, soft yarn that is gentle on the hair and maintains its shape with frequent use.

Materials Needed:

• Worsted weight yarn (e.g., Red Heart Super Saver in Frosty Green)
• Hair ponytail elastic without metal pieces
• Scissors
• Darning needle or yarn needle
• Crochet hook (5.0 mm, 5.5 mm, or 6.0 mm J hook, as preferred)

Pattern Instructions:

Prepare Your Materials:

• Get a skein of yarn with at least a third left and a hair tie.

Attach Yarn to Hair Tie:

• Put the yarn through the hair tie leaving a small tail. Knot it twice onto the hair tie.

Initial Setup:

• Hold the hair tie and position it comfortably for you to start stitching.

Begin Single Crochets (SC):

• Insert the crochet hook into the hair tie, grab the yarn, and start single crocheting around the hair tie. Aim to put around 60 SC on the hair tie, but adjust based on your preference for fullness.

Joining:

• Once complete with the SC, connect to the first SC with a slip stitch.

Start the Ruffles (Double Crochets, DC):

• Chain up three (which counts as your first DC), then double crochet two more into the same stitch.

Complete the Ruffles:

• For the entire next row, do three DC in each stitch from the previous row, working into the full stitch, not just the front or back loop.

Securing and Finishing Ruffles:

• Continue putting three DC into each initial SC until you have covered the hair tie completely.

Joining the Ruffles:

• Complete the row by joining with a slip stitch into the top of the chain three you started with.

Start the Edging (SC):

• Chain one (1) and turn your work. Single crochet into each stitch from the previous row.

Complete the Edging:

• Continue with single crochet in each stitch until you reach the beginning of the row.

Closure:

• Once reaching the beginning, join with a slip stitch into the first single crochet you made.

Finish Off:

• Cut the yarn, leaving a tail. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook and tighten.

Weave in Ends:

• Using your darning needle, weave in both the beginning tail and the finishing tail securely into the scrunchie.

Fluff and Shape:

• Finally, fluff up your scrunchie and even out the ruffles for a full and plush look.
