Crochet Scrunchie Patterns

Crochet scrunchie patterns are worked directly around a hair elastic, first covering it with single crochet and then adding ruffled rounds of taller stitches. They take about 20–30 minutes and use roughly 30–50 yards of yarn. Cotton, velvet, and soft acrylic all work, and scrunchies are gentle on hair.

How do you crochet a scrunchie around an elastic?

Crochet a scrunchie by attaching yarn to a hair elastic and working single crochet stitches tightly around it until it is fully covered, then joining and working rounds of increasing double crochets into those stitches to form ruffles.

Frequently asked questions

What size hair elastic for a scrunchie?

A standard 2-inch hair elastic works well; larger elastics make bigger scrunchies.

Can I use velvet yarn for scrunchies?

Yes; velvet yarn makes plush scrunchies, though it can be harder to see stitches.
