The Pattern

Step 1: Creating the Base with Chains

  1. Make a Slip Knot and place it on your hook.
  2. Ch 70, keeping tension loose (not too tight or too loose).
    • Tip: Work in multiples of 5 to maintain consistency if you adjust the size.
  3. Join the last chain to the first chain using a Sl St to form a ring. Be careful not to twist the chains.

Recap: At this point, you have created a chain ring that will serve as the foundation for your scrunchie.

Step 2: Round 1—Forming the Shell Pattern

  1. Ch 3 (counts as the first DC).
  2. Work 2 DC into the same stitch.
  3. In the next chain, work 1 DC.Crochet Bow Hair Tie Pattern 1
  4. You now have a set of 4 DCs (3 from step 1 and 1 in step 3).
  5. Ch 2, skip 2 chains, and move to the third chain.
  6. Repeat the following sequence across the round:
    • 1 DC in the next chain.
    • 2 DC in the next chain.
    • 1 DC in the next chain for a total of 4 DCs in each set.
    • Ch 2 and skip 2 chains before starting the next set.Crochet Bow Hair Tie Pattern 2
  7. At the end of the round, Sl St into the top of the first Ch 3 to join the round.

Recap: You’ve completed your first round, forming alternating “shells” (clusters of DCs) and “spaces” (Ch 2).

Step 3: Round 2—Building Patterns of Shells and Spaces

  1. Ch 3 and Ch 2 (counts as 1 DC and space).
  2. DC on top of the fourth DC of the previous row.
  3. Work 2 DC into the space between shells.
  4. Ch 2, skip the next shell, and repeat the pattern:
    • DC on top of the fourth DC of the previous shell.
    • Work 2 DC into the space between shells.

Recap: Continue this shell-space pattern in rounds, creating the bow structure. Add as many rounds as desired to achieve the desired width of the bow.

Step 4: Forming the Base Connector (Optional Bow Center)

  1. Begin with a slip knot and Ch 6.
  2. Work 3 DC into the top of the third chain from the hook. This forms a small shell.
  3. Ch 3, turn the work, and continue adding DCs to form a small rectangular strip (approximately 8 rows).Crochet Bow Hair Tie Pattern 3
    • Tip: Adjust the length of the strip based on the width of your bow.

Recap: This strip forms the centerpiece for joining and shaping the bow.

Step 5: Assembly

  1. Place the two bow panels together, ensuring the side you want visible is facing outward.
  2. Fold the rectangle strip around the center of the bows to form the bow shape.
  3. Use a yarn needle and remaining thread to sew the rectangle securely around the bow panels.
    • Tip: Ensure the stitches are hidden for a clean look.
  4. Attach the rubber band to the back of the bow using the remaining yarn and secure it firmly. Be sure to sew it through the rectangle strip to keep everything in place.Crochet Bow Hair Tie Pattern 4
