    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. If you are brand new to crocheting, you may want to check out my Learning how to Crochet tutorial before you begin. 

    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. 

    If you would like to learn more about these stitches, please be sure to check out my beginners guide for learning how to crochet. Or watch my youtube videos to show you exactly how to make each of these stitches.

    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!

    Tips and Tricks for Scrunchie Making

    Make it as Full as You Want

    In the instructions above, I have given you my suggested instructions for making this crochet scrunchie. However, remember you can adjust the pattern as you prefer. One of the ways that you might wish to adjust it is by making the scrunchie as full as you want. You can do this by adding or many or as few chain loops as you prefer. 

    Different Yarn Options

    There are many different yarn options to choose from. I have suggested that you use 100% cotton yarn. This is because the cotton yarn will hold up the best, and can be exposed to water. However, this does not mean you can only use cotton yarn when making these hair scrunchies. 

    Other yarn options include a nice medium weight yarn, or worsted weight yarn. You likely have some scrap yarn sitting around from various projects. These scrunchies are a great use for any leftover soft yarn you might have on hand already. 

    You can also use acrylic yarn, or even velvet yarn if desired. Bernat velvet yarn is a good option because it is nice and soft. Just note that some types of velvet yarn may not last as well as other yarn types. 

    When it comes right down to it, you can use any kind of yarn that you prefer for these scrunchies. I simply recommend cotton yarn because it will last the best.

    The Best Crochet Hook Size

    In the above crochet pattern I have suggested that you use a 5.0 mm crochet hook, but please note that this is a recommendation. You can feel free to adjust the size of crochet hook to a smaller hook or larger hook as you prefer. With this pattern, the size of crochet hook used is not a huge deal.
