There is this new…. or should we say old fad that has recently come back full force. It’s Scrunchies! Everyone is wearing them in their hair and on their wrists again! I decided to try my hand at making some for my daughter (13) who just had to have some for her hair. I got my hands on this AMAZING yarn from Yarnspirations Bernat Velvet. And the texture is so soft! Like butter. Easy to work with and extremely forgiving. Make a mistake and no one knows! LOL
When I started selling them they went like hotcakes! .. I can’t make them fast enough!
I decided to go ahead and make a video tutorial so you all can make them too. See Below:
Here’s what you need:
Bernat Velvet Yarn (1 skien makes like 13 scrunchies!)
Scissors/ Needle
DIrections:
1- HDC Foundation Chain 45
2- CH 2, Rotate, DC in each stitch along the line, turn
3- Ch2 (counts as first DC) Dc in each stitch.
For large Scrunchies Repeat Row 3
CH 1, Fold Project lengthwise and wrap around elastic. Put hook in first st on the front side and then put hook through st on the back side, sc sides together around elastic. (See Video for technique) Continue in this manner single crocheting all the way around securing front and back together. Tie off, leave length for sewing ends together. Use needle to sew ends together and weave in ends.

Brilliant! Just the pattern I was looking for. The scrunchie is a proper one. Most other patterns just crochet around the elastic and they’re kind of flat. Thank you so much. My bestie asked me to crochet her a scrunchernie for her birthday and I’ve made three or four other patterns and yours is definitely the bomb. And it took about 15 minutes. Plus! Your left-handed video made it all the easier. Bien merci, cherie!
