Stitching Instructions for Making the Easy Crochet Hair Scrunchie Pattern

Make a Foundation Ring

• Begin by taking your

  hair elastic

  and placing it in your left hand (or dominant hand).

• Ch 1

  to set the first stitch.
• Work

  sc

  stitches around the

  elastic

  , making sure to crochet through both strands of the elastic and around it. This will ensure the elastic stays enclosed inside the scrunchie.
• Continue working

  sc

  around the elastic until you have covered the entire elastic. You should have a circle of

  sc

  stitches around the elastic.

• Sl st

  into the first

  sc

  stitch to join the round and form a closed circle.

Round 1

• Ch 1

  (this doesn’t count as a stitch) and

  sc

  into the first stitch.
• Continue working

  sc

  into each stitch around the elastic. Make sure to keep the stitches close enough to securely hold the elastic but not so tight that the elastic is restricted.
• Complete the entire round by working

  sc

  into each stitch around.
• After reaching the starting point,

  sl st

  into the first

  sc

  to join the round.

Round 2

• Ch 3

  (this counts as your first

  tr

  ).
• In the next stitch,

  tr

  (triple crochet). This will form a “ruffle” in your scrunchie.
• Next,

  sc

  in the next stitch.
• Then,

  tr

  in the following stitch.
• Continue alternating between

  sc

  and

  tr

  (sc, tr) around the scrunchie. For each

  sc

  stitch, follow it with a

  tr

  stitch in the next.
• When you reach the beginning of the round,

  sl st

  into the top of the

  ch 3

  to close the round.

Round 3

• Ch 1

  (does not count as a stitch), then

  sc

  in the same stitch.

• Tr

  in the next stitch.
• Repeat the pattern of

  sc

  in one stitch, then

  tr

  in the next. Continue working these two stitches around the entire scrunchie. You should have alternating

  sc

  and

  tr

  stitches around.
• At the end of the round,

  sl st

  into the first

  sc

  of the round to close it.

Optional Additional Rounds

• If you prefer a fuller scrunchie, you can continue working more rounds. Repeat Round 3 or modify the pattern to increase the number of

  sc

  and

  tr

  stitches.
• For each new round, repeat the

  sc

  and

  tr

  alternation, adding more volume by increasing the number of stitches or making the rounds longer.
• Continue the rounds until your scrunchie has the desired puffiness and volume.

Finishing

• After completing your last round,

  sl st

  into the first

  sc

  to close the round.
• Cut the yarn, leaving a small tail long enough to weave in.
• Thread the yarn tail through a

  yarn needle

  and weave it through the stitches of the last round, making sure it is secure.
• Tuck the tail into the scrunchie and trim off any excess yarn.
