Step-by-Step Pattern
1. Attach Yarn to Hair Tie
- Insert the tail end of your yarn through the hair tie.
- Tie a simple knot to secure the yarn to the elastic, making sure it’s tight.
2. Set Up Your Hook
- Insert your hook through the hair tie where the yarn is attached.
- Yarn over and pull a loop through the hair tie onto your hook.
- Ch 1 to secure the yarn to your hook.
3. Begin the Foundation Chains
- Chain 2 more times (for a total of 3 chains including the initial ch 1 after attaching to the tie).
4. Double Crochet Around the Hair Tie
Repeat the following steps all around the hair tie:
- Yarn over, insert your hook under the elastic hair tie, yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).
- Yarn over, pull through 2 loops (2 loops remain).
- Yarn over, pull through the last 2 loops.
- Keep repeating double crochet stitches all around the hair tie, pushing your stitches together as needed to cover the elastic completely and create a ruffled, scrunchie effect.
Tip:
After the first round of double crochets, gently pull the stitches to make room and continue working more double crochets into the available space. The more you add, the more ruffled your scrunchie will look.
- Continue until the entire elastic is tightly covered with double crochets and the desired fullness/ripple is achieved.
- For a small hair tie, approximately 45 double crochets will often suffice, but this number will vary with hair tie size or yarn thickness.
5. Join the Round
- Find the third chain from the start (skip the knot and the first two chains).
- Insert your hook into the third chain.
- Yarn over and pull through both stitches (on hook and in chain) to make a sl st, joining the round.
6. Fasten Off
- Ch 1.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long enough tail for weaving in.
- Pull the yarn through the last stitch and tighten to secure.
7. Weave in Ends
- Use a yarn needle to weave in the starting and ending tails:
- Thread the needle.
- Sew the tail through several stitches, then back again in the opposite direction (to secure).
- Trim any excess yarn.
Conclusion
A tiny scrunchie is a fast, satisfying project that only uses basic double crochet stitches. This method can easily be adapted for different hair tie sizes by working more or fewer stitches, making it great for stash-busting or last-minute gifts.
Pattern Correction
- Ensure the number of double crochets is sufficient to hide the hair tie and achieve your preferred ruffled effect.
- For larger or thicker elastics, keep adding double crochets—just push stitches tight together as you work.
Tip
- Use different yarn colors and textures for unique styles.
- Consider making a set in various shades to match your outfits.
- If the scrunchie seems loose, tighten the stitches as you go for a snug and neat result.
