Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. This will be the center of your scrunchie.
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 8 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to close the round.
3. Round 2: Ch 1, then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the first sc (you should have 16 stitches now).
4. Round 3: Ch 1, then (sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join with a sl st to the first sc (you should have 24 stitches).
5. Round 4: Ch 1, then (sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join with a sl st to the first sc (you should have 32 stitches).
6. Round 5: Ch 1, then (sc in the next 3 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join with a sl st to the first sc (you should have 40 stitches).
7. Round 6: Ch 1, then sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the first sc.
8. Round 7: Ch 1, then (sc in the next 4 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join with a sl st to the first sc (you should have 48 stitches).
9. Round 8: Ch 1, then sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the first sc.
10. Finish Off: Fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
11. Add the Moss Layer: Attach the moss color yarn to your work. Repeat rounds 1-8 to create a layered effect, just as you did with the forest green yarn.
12. Attach to Elastic: Once both layers are complete, take your elastic hair band and carefully sew the crocheted scrunchie around it, ensuring that the elastic is fully covered by the crochet work.
