Crochet Puffy Flower Scrunchie Pattern
Materials Needed:
- Yarn (1 skein of 50g for large scrunchy, less for a smaller version)
- Crochet hook (4 mm)
- Stuffing (or leftover yarn scraps)
- Elastic band
- A bit of white yarn for finishing
Pattern:
Creating the First Petal:
Start:
- Make a starter loop and chain 12 (10 plus 2 additional to turn).
Row 1:
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the third loop from the hook (the one on the hook doesn’t count), and make a double crochet. Continue with double crochet in every chain. You should have 10 double crochets.
For Row 2:
- Turn your work. Insert your hook into the first loop, do a single crochet, then in the first loop of the following single crochet, make another single crochet. Then, two double crochets in each of the next stitches until the row ends, totaling 20 double crochets.
Row 3:
- Repeat the starting single crochet pattern, then do a pattern of one double crochet in the next stitch followed by two double crochets in the subsequent stitch till the end, reaching 30 double crochets.
Expanding the Petal:
Row 4:
- Start with the single crochet pattern, then mix one double crochet and two double crochets in one stitch (increase) throughout the row to get 38 stitches.
Rows 5 and 6:
- Repeat the 38 double crochets from the previous row without increases to establish the petal's size.
Decreasing for the Petal Tip:
In Row 7:
- Begin with a single crochet and then one double crochet before doing your decreases - yarn over, insert the hook, pull through two loops, yarn over, insert into the next stitch, pull yarn through, you'll have four loops on the hook. Crochet through two loops then the last three together. Continue with two double crochets and a decrease pattern until the row ends.
Row 8:
- Similar to row 7, but with a pattern of one decrease followed by one double crochet across the row.
Row 9:
- Make only decreases across the entire row.
Creating Additional Petals:
- To make additional petals (for a total of five), do not cut the yarn.
- Turn your work and repeat the pattern from Row 1 to Row 9 for each new petal.
Joining Petals and Finishing:
- Join the first and final petals' edges together using slip stitches for a total of 10 stitches.
- Position the hair tie at the center of the connected petals.
- Join the edges around the hair tie with single crochet stitches, making sure to fit two single crochets into each row for a snug fit. Between petals, insert the hook directly into the center of the hair tie for a long single crochet.
Additional Decoration (Optional):
- For ruffles, start with a slip stitch into the first single crochet, chain three, and then in the same stitch, do two double crochets followed by a single crochet in the next stitch. Continue this pattern all around the edge for a ruffled look.
Conclusion:
- The Finished Buffy Flower Scrunchy is a unique and voluminous hair accessory perfect for any hairstyle, and also makes an adorable gift idea. Remember to chain 17 loops at the beginning if you prefer to create a smaller version of this scrunchy. Enjoy your crafting!
