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.
