This tutorial is suitable for beginners and will guide you step by step through the process of creating a crochet scrunchie. Let's get started!

Materials Needed

To make a crochet scrunchie, you will need the following materials:

• Yarn of your choice (velvet yarn recommended)
• Crochet hook (6mm for this pattern)
• Hair tie
• Scissors

Make sure you have all these materials ready before you begin. Now let's dive into the steps involved in making a crochet scrunchie.

Steps to Make a Crochet Scrunchie

Follow these steps to create your own crochet scrunchie:

Step 1: Choosing the Yarn

Before you start crocheting, it's important to choose the right yarn for your scrunchie. While velvet yarn is recommended for this pattern, you can use any yarn of your choice. Consider the texture and color you want for your scrunchie and select a yarn that matches your preferences.

Step 2: Working with a Hair Tie

To give your scrunchie stability and structure, we will be crocheting around a hair tie. Start by creating a loop on your crochet hook and slip stitch onto the hair tie. Make sure the yarn is coming from the back of the hair tie, as this is how it should be positioned for crocheting.

Step 3: Starting the Crochet Pattern

Begin the crochet pattern by chaining one, as we will only be using half double crochets for this scrunchie. Work a half double crochet all the way around the hair tie. If you're unsure how to do this stitch, refer to the links in the description box below for detailed instructions.

Step 4: Creating the Zigzag Effect

Once you have completed a line of plain half double crochets around the hair tie, it's time to create the ripply effect that gives the scrunchie its unique look. Start scrunching the stitches together, working your way along the entire length of the hair tie. This will create a zigzag pattern.

Step 5: Adding More Stitches

Continue working half double crochets around the hair tie, scrunching them together as you go along. This will fill up the scrunchie and add more depth to the zigzag effect. Make sure to scrunch the stitches tightly to achieve the desired fullness.

Step 6: Finishing the Scrunchie

When you have reached the end of the hair tie and have achieved the desired thickness, slip stitch into the top of the beginning half double crochet. Pull the stitch tight and weave in any loose ends. Adjust the zigzag swirls to lay the way you want them to.

Making a crochet scrunchie is a fun and easy project that allows you to add your own personal touch to this trendy accessory.
