    • Use the I, 5.5 mm hook.
    • Join yarn to the hair tie by making a slip knot on your hook. Inserting the hook through the elastic band, yarning over and drawing the yarn through the loop on the hook.
    • CH 1 (Does not count as a stitch). Work 38 SC STs around the hair tie. Join the round with a SL ST into the first SC ST. (After crocheting about 30 SC STs, push the STs close together so you can crochet the rest of the stitches around).

    Pattern Notes

    Crochet pattern is written in US Terms.
    The first round of crochet stitches are worked around the elastic hair tie.
    You can stop after round one or continue on to round two for a wider crochet ruffle on the hair scrunchie.
    When weaving in the yarn ends, try and weave them up and down close to the starting and ending stitches. This way, they will not pull out when the hair elastic tie is stretched out.
    When securing the bulky weight yarn ends, I just weaved the ending yarn close to the beginning yarn. Tie a square knot and snip off the excess yarn.
    There is no need to turn at the end of each round.

    Crochet Stitches

    Treble Crochet Stitch
    Yarn over twice, insert the hook through both loops and pull up a loop. Next, yarn over and pull through two loops on the hook. Yarn over again and pull through the next two loops. Lastly, yarn over again and pull through the last two loops on the hook.
