Materials Needed

• Yarn: Fingering weight, multicolored yarn (vibrant blues, purples, and pinks recommended)
• Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 22 stitches x 30 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Hair Elastic: A sturdy hair elastic to secure the scrunchie
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your project. This will be the center of your scrunchie.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st). You should have 6 stitches.
3. Round 2: Chain 1 (ch 1), then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. You will have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Ch 1, then *sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * around and join with a sl st. You should have 18 stitches.
5. Round 4: Ch 1, then *sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * around and join with a sl st. You will have 24 stitches.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner until you reach a total of 60 stitches. This will create a nice, full scrunchie.
7. Work in Spiral: After reaching 60 stitches, ch 1 and sc in each stitch around for 3 rounds. This will form the body of the scrunchie.
8. Create the Spiral Effect: Switch to a contrasting color yarn. Work 1 round of half double crochet (hdc) in the back loops only. This will give the scrunchie a unique texture.
9. Continue with Contrasting Color: Still using the contrasting color, work 2 rounds of sc in each stitch around.
10. Switch Back to Original Yarn Color: Change back to your original yarn color and work 1 round of hdc in the back loops only.
11. Finish Up: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
12. Attach Hair Elastic: Sew a hair elastic into the center of the scrunchie, ensuring it is secure and won’t come loose during use.
