Pattern Directions

Note: These directions work with ANY yarn and ANY hook size. Use what you have available!

Start: Put the hair tie on your hook before you tie on your yarn.

Row 1: Slst to the elastic, then make SC stitches until the entire hair tie is covered. Make sure you end on an odd number. Slst to close the round, then ch1

Row 2: SC into the same stitch, then ch3. Skip 1 stitch, and SC into the next. Repeat this CH3, skip 1, SC pattern all the way around the scrunchie. When you get to the last sc stitch, instead of another ch3, work a DC stitch into your first ch3 space as shown. This will start our next row.

Row 3: Ch3, slst into the next ch3 space. Repeat this all the way around the scrunchie. When you’ve gone all the way around, slst to the starting stitch and fasten off. Weave in tail.

That’s it!

How easy was that? You’ve just created a fast, easy, beautiful scrunchie that looks like it took ages to complete.

Customization Options

Now that we have the base pattern down, how can we customize it? It’s simple! Here are some ideas:

Row 2, Option A: Ch5 instead of ch3

Row 2, Option B: Instead of skipping 1 sc stitch every time, ch3 and then slst immediately into the next stitch.

Row 3, Option A: Ch5 instead of ch3

Put elastic on first
Attach with a SLST
SC all the way around
Ch3, skip 1, 1SC in next st
DC st into first ch3 space
Ch3, slst into next ch3 space
Slst to last ch3 space, fasten off
