Materials
- Yarn: Medium weight (4) yarn, such as Red Heart Super Saver in Frosty Green
- Crochet Hook: Size 6mm (J), or you can adjust according to the yarn recommendation
- Hair Tie: Elastic ponytail holder without metal parts
- Scissors
- Darning Needle: To hide yarn ends
Preparation
Select at least a third of a skein of your favorite yarn.
Prepare your crochet hook and hair tie.
Crocheting the Base
- Starting: Tie your yarn to the hair tie with a knot, ensuring you leave a small tail.
- First Round: Insert your crochet hook into the hair tie, loop over and pull through, creating 60 single crochets around the hair tie. Adjust the number of crochets based on your desired fullness.
Joining and Building Layers
Joining: Use a slip stitch to connect to your first stitch.
- Second Round: Start with a chain of three (this counts as the first double crochet). Add two more double crochets into the same stitch. Continue this pattern by adding three double crochets into each stitch around the hair tie.
Finishing Touches
- Final Round: Transition to a single crochet stitch in each stitch around. Add a contrasting color for an additional decorative touch.
- Closing: Finish by slip stitching into the first single crochet of the final round. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail long enough for weaving in ends.
Securing and Weaving in Ends
- Thread the tail through a darning needle. Weave in securely by passing the needle through several stitches vertically. This avoids unraveling when the scrunchie stretches.
Trim the excess yarn after securing.
Tips and Customization Options
- Try different yarns like variegated, fuzzy, or velvet for various textures.
- Adjust the number of stitches to alter the fullness of the scrunchie.
Consider adding different colored rows for a festive look or matching specific occasions like holidays or sports events.
