Crochet Scrunchie

Who loves a cute crochet scrunchie? It seems as if the 90s are back in full force! Many young people are rocking scrunchies again. With that in mind, I decided to come up with a quick and easy crochet scrunchies pattern. What I have noticed is that when I am working on these, I have people ask if I can make them one all of the time! I keep really busy making these…hopefully you will too!

I am including a photo tutorial for a Crochet Scrunchie. This version of a scrunchie gives a more unique look to the popular hair accessory. This is a a quick crochet project. It is a 15-minute crochet project.

Next, place the yarn inside of the hair tie (see attached picture).

Start by single crocheting around the hair tie. I used the Goody Ouchless hairties and I was able to fit 40 SC onto the hair tie (you do have to smoosh the SC together a couple of times to fit that many onto the hair tie).

Now, place as many single crochets around the hair tie as you possibly can. I even squish the SCs together to fit more around the hair tie. The key here is to squeeze as many SCs into the hair tie as possible.
