Materials Needed

- Hook: 9mm crochet hook
- Hair Elastic: A standard hair elastic to provide stretch and hold
- Scissors: For cutting the yarn
- Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start with a Magic Ring:
To create a magic ring, hold the yarn in your hand, wrap it around your fingers to form a loop, and pull a strand of yarn through the loop. This will be your starting point.
- Work 12 Single Crochet (sc) into the Ring:
Insert your hook into the ring, yarn over, and pull up a loop. You should have two loops on your hook. Yarn over again and pull through both loops. Repeat this process until you have 12 single crochet stitches in the ring.
- Pull the Ring Tight:
Once you have completed your 12 single crochet stitches, gently pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the magic ring. This will close the center of your scrunchie.
- Join with a Slip Stitch:
To join, insert your hook into the first single crochet stitch you made, yarn over, and pull through both loops on your hook. This completes the first round.
- Chain 1:
After joining, chain 1 to prepare for the next round.
- Work 2 Half Double Crochet (hdc) into Each Stitch Around:
In this step, you will create the ruffled effect of the scrunchie. Yarn over, insert your hook into the first stitch, yarn over again, pull up a loop (three loops on your hook), yarn over, and pull through all three loops. Repeat this process, working 2 half double crochet stitches into each of the 12 stitches around.
- Join with a Slip Stitch:
Just like before, join the round by inserting your hook into the first half double crochet stitch, yarn over, and pull through both loops on your hook.
- Fasten Off:
Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. This will finish your scrunchie.
- Weave in Ends:
Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends to give your scrunchie a clean finish.
- Stretch Around a Hair Elastic:
Finally, take your completed crochet piece and stretch it around a standard hair elastic. This will enhance its elasticity and ensure it holds your hair securely.
Congratulations! You've just completed your very own Chunky Crochet Hair Scrunchie. Enjoy wearing it or gifting it to a friend!
