I was doing some housekeeping in my craft room last few days, only to find out that I have so many leftover yarns from my previous knitting and crocheting projects, oh dear!!! What am I going to do with them, I can’t just throw them away? They are neither enough to knit into garments, nor I can combine all of them to make one…. the colors are just “repulsive” when coming together. Since I am keeping long hair, why not make them into some hairbands!!!! You know, time is bad and I have to save a little when coming to handicraft :p
I took some rubber hairbands and started to crochet, just a simple pattern. With a combination of some yarns, I have made a few of hair scrunchies in just an hour 🙂 I also showed the yarns I used for each hair scrunchies I have made.
My daughter likes the pink hair scrunchies the best but her hair is too short to put them on. I let her keep it, she can use it when her hair is long enough 🙂
If you want to try one, you just need to prepare some yarns, 5mm (8/0) crochet hook and a rubber hairband. Follow the photos and the instruction written just below the photo, you should be able to get one done very fast.
Crochet Hair Scrunchies
Step1: Tie a knot onto the rubber hairband.
Step2: Crochet 6 chains.
Step3: Double crochet onto the rubber hairband.
Step4: Crochet another 3 chains.
Repeat Step 3 and 4 until you fill-up the whole ring of the rubber hairband. Join the end to the 3rd chains of the start point with slip stitches, bind off and hide the yarn-end, and you are done 🙂 Pretty simple, right!
Hope you enjoy crochet it and match it with your knitted or crocheted work.

You should go and see how Salihan do these hairbands by using my pattern, colorful and stylish with novelty yarns :)]
Beautiful scrunchies! What size hook do you use and what yarn are you using?
I particularly like the white fuzzy one and the blue with green dots in it.
Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
I used various yarn with matching hook size that recommended on the label of the yarn. The gold crochet hook is 3.5mm hook.
I would like to make some for my granddaughter. They are very pretty 🙂
Can you tell me what size hook you used and what type of yarn you used?
Thanks so much

Love these scrunchies! I have a ton of hair ties laying around that I don’t wear because the color is weird so now I can make scrunchies from them! Took me barely any time to make one and was so easy, thank you so much 🙂
Awesome, Korryn, that goes with the name “Simple Hairband” 🙂
Hello,
Is this pattern available on Ravelry? Thanks!
I just published it in Ravelry but the details are still pointing back to this page. Please click page 2 to get the photo tutorial and written pattern.
I cannot bring up directions to make this simple hairband. I only get follow rows 3&4, I don’t get the beginning of the instructions. help! thank you
Hi Linda, I have made all the pictures visible so you don’t have to flip through the album.
i’m into crochet lately..been doing a threadbands..at first it was only for my daugther’s use and eventually earn a small profit from it..how eould you feel if i sell the finished products?
I did the above to find the pattern, but it’s still not there–anywhere.. Help?
Go to page 2 and click the “next” arrow at the bottom right corner of the photo.
I cannot get the directions either, I did go to page 2 & clicked on the arrow & it did not come up
I have made the step pictures all visible now instead of flipping through the album.
I would really like to make some of these for grandchildren, but I’m not able to get to the pattern at all. Instead of 4 pictures, I only get one picture and there is no “next” to click on. Can this be corrected?
HI Gaye, I have made the album to the second page. Please go to page 2 and click next picture on the album. This should work.
These are quite lovely–I do not have long hair but my daughter does AND she loves the scrunchie look!!! She will receive many for her birthday!!!
Thanks for linking to me! 🙂
Yes! Agreed with LK, your composition of this pic is great! Well done! Let me figure out how to make this hairband…. 🙂
It is easy and it is meant for beginner 🙂
i have an award for you. please hop over to my blog and claim it.
Oh, thanks!!! You are so generous 🙂
This is a great, easy pattern and gives me something to do with all that “left over” yarn!! I also have long hair so these will be used a LOT – Thanks Joanne!!
You are welcome!!! Isn’t it fun to share 🙂
Very pretty hairbands but like the other poster, I don’t have long hair anymore.
You can always make some as gifts to friend with long hair 🙂
I luv all the handbands you made. They are simply gorgeous! But sad thing is I dun keep long hair and no daughter too. 🙁
Btw, your first photo looks so professional with beautfiful composition too! Well done!
Thanks. 2 options, you can make a few and wait until your hair is long enough, or give them to your friends who can use it 🙂
