Stitches You Should Know
Before you get started on the pattern, there are a few basic crochet stitches that you will need to know for this project. Let’s look at what those stitches are.
A Slip Knot. A slip knot is a type of knot you will need to know how to make in order to get your crochet project started.
Chain Stitch. A chain stitch is the primary stitch used in this crochet pattern. It is an easy stitch made by looping the yarn over your hook and pulling it through the previous loop, resulting in a chain-like appearance.
Single Crochet Stitch. A single crochet stitch is another very basic crochet stitch. In this pattern, you will want to know how to make this stitch to attach your scrunchie to the hair tie.

How to Make Crochet Hair Scrunchie Pattern
Step 1: Gather your Supplies
Before you get started you will want to gather your supplies. I like to use 100% cotton yarn for this project, a crochet hook, and a hair tie. Once you have everything gathered, you are ready to get started.
Step 2: Attach the Yarn
First, make a slip knot in the yarn, then loop the slip knot over your crochet hook as you normally would to get started.
Then pick up your hair tie, and work the first single crochet stitch around the hair tie to attach it.
Step 3: Make the Loops
Now to make the loops, you will want to chain 20 even stitches, then come back to the hair tie and make a single crochet stitch around the hair tie. Chain 20 stitches, then attach it to the hair tie again by making a single crochet stitch around the hair tie.
Repeat this process.


While you are making the loops, I like to gently press the single crochet stitches so that they sit snuggly next to each other. This allows me to make a nice full and fluffy hair scrunchy. When you squish the single crochet stitches together, make sure that they don’t overlap. Only sit snuggly next to each other.
Continue making your 20 chains, and single crochet stitches until the rubber band is completely covered.
Step 4: Finish Off
To finish off, you will want to join your last single crochet to the first one made on the hair tie by making a slip stitch. Then tie a knot, cut the extra yarn off, and weave in any yarn ends.
Your hair scrunchy is now finished and ready to wear!
