How to Crochet a Hair Scrunchie
Crocheting hair scrunchies is a fun and easy project that can add a touch of style to your hair or wrist. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to crochet your very own hair scrunchie using a lightweight rayon yarn.
Materials Needed
Before starting the project, gather the following materials:
- Lightweight rayon yarn
- 4mm or G6 size crochet hook
- Hair elastic
- Yarn needle
Step 1: Attaching the Yarn
To begin, create a slip knot and attach your yarn to the crochet hook. Place the slip knot on the hook and insert it through the center of the hair elastic. Pull the yarn through the elastic and secure it with a loop.
Step 2: Working the First Round
Start by chaining one and working a single crochet stitch through the center of the elastic and around it. Insert the crochet hook through the center, yarn over, and pull through the loop. Continue working single crochet stitches around the elastic, making sure to cover it completely. Aim for about 60 single crochet stitches in total.
Step 3: Joining and Fastening Off
Once you have completed the desired number of single crochet stitches, join with a slip stitch into the top of the first stitch. Chain four, which will serve as a triple stitch, and work three more triple stitches into the same stitch. Repeat this pattern of four triple stitches into each single crochet stitch all the way around the elastic. By the end of this round, you should have a total of 240 stitches.
To finish off, join with a slip stitch into the top of the starting chain four and fasten off. Use a yarn needle to tuck in any loose ends securely.
