How do you make these Scrunchies?

Scrunchie 1

You can use any yarn and appropriate hook. I used velvet yarn from Hobby Lobby and a 5mm crochet hook.

This scrunchie is super simple! All you have to do is attach the yarn to the hair tie, Ch 3, and double crochet around 50-55 times around the hair tie. Slip stitch into the 3rd chain of the beginning 3 chains. Leave a little yarn, the cut. To finish off, tighten the yarn tail. Using a yarn needle, weave it down to meet the beginning yarn tail. Make two tight knots, weave in the extra yarn, and cut the excess.

Your scrunchie is ready!

1987 Scrunchie

This is a paid pattern by Christina at Christina Ann Studios.

I love all of Christina’s patterns. They are simple and modern.

Head over to her Etsy or website to purchase the pattern.

You can make this scrunchie with any type of yarn, I tried cotton and velvet yarn and used a 4.5mm hook.

If you’d rather buy the scrunchies, they are available in my shop in sets of 2.

Scrunchies 3

Star scrunchie is a cute free pattern by Crochetboss

At the time of writing this blog post, it seems that the Crochetboss website is down. But I wanted to share because I thought this is a really cute pattern.

It really is very easy and quick to make. It would be perfect for Christmas or even year-round.

I tried to recreate the pattern but it didn’t quite turn out exactly how I wanted it. But I will share how I did it, in case you want to try. I used velvet yarn from Hobby Lobby and a 5mm hook.

Attach the yarn to the hair tie. Chain 1, *(1 sc,1 dc, 1 treble crochet, 3 chains, 1 treble crochet, 1 dc, 1 sc) slip st into center of hair tie, repeat pattern (*) all around 7 or 8 times.

Finish off.

Scrunchie 4

This scrunchie is a free pattern on Pinterest, it is a diagram that I followed, you can find it here.

100% Cotton yarn was used with a 4.5mm crochet hook.

Scrunchies 5

Another super easy pattern! This scrunchie is made by crocheting treble crochet about 50 to 55 times into the hair tie. Start with a slip knot and chain 3, and treble crochet around. Finish off with a slip stitch into 3rd chain of the beginning 3 chains. Weave in ends.

These scrunchies were made using plush velvet yarn from Hobby Lobby and a 5mm hook.

Notes:

For all the scrunchies you start the same way by making a slip knot, then attach it to your hair tie. I have seen some people tying a knot onto the hair tie and starting off, but I prefer the method I mentioned above.

As you crochet around, move the stitches closer so you have more place to crochet. A good rule of thumb to know when you have done enough stitches is to stretch the hair tie if you see the hair tie then crochet a few more stitches, but if the hair tie is fully covered then it’s good enough.

To finish off, I cut the yarn and tighten it. Using a yarn needle weave the end down to the starting tail. Make 2 knots with both tails. Weave in the extra yarn under a few stitches and cut the extra yarn off. When you stretch the scrunchie you shouldn’t be able to see the tails.
