As easy as this written pattern may sound, having the basic crochet stitches down is certainly going to be helpful! But do not worry if you’re an absolute beginner, as I have got you covered with my guide to crochet for beginners. This guide covers all things crochet, from different yarn and crochet hook sizes to free crochet patterns and my favorite ways to practice crocheting. For the visual learners out there, here is a video tutorial from a fellow YouTuber. 

Supplies For Crochet Scrunchie

You only need 3 things to start crocheting a scrunchie. They are:

1. Yarn:
   You may use cotton yarn, worsted weight yarn, Bernat velvet yarn, faux fur yarn, or any type of yarn you desire. Instead of buying new yarn, you can also use up your stashed or leftovers from your previous project. Switch up the type of yarn to use, depending on the end result you are trying to achieve. Use a thicker yarn if you would like a chunkier hair scrunchie or a thinner yarn for a more delicate look. You can even mix 2 strands of different yarns for something special.
2. Crochet Hook:
   As for the crochet hook, some yarns call for size J (6 mm hook), while I used a smaller hook of 3.5 mm in this tutorial. You may experiment with different crochet hooks by making a few stitches to check if you like the crochet tension. Loose tension will produce a floppy crochet scrunchie, while tighter tension will result in a stiff scrunchie.
3. Elastic Hairband.

Step-By-Step Crochet Scrunchie Instructions

• Step 1: fasten the yarn by tying a knot onto the rubber hairband.

• Step 2: To start crocheting, insert the crochet hook under the elastic hairband, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Yarn over again, pull up a loop and pull it through the first loop. You are ready to crochet after connecting your crochet hook to the yarn and hairband.
  
  Crochet 6 chains and mark the 3rd chain with a stitch marker.

• Step 3: make a double crochet stitch (dc) onto the rubber hairband.

• Step 4: Followed by 3 chain stitches.

• Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have filled up the whole elastic hairband. Join the end to the 3rd chains of the start point with slip stitches, fasten off, and hide the yarn-end, and you are done.

Pretty simple, right?
