Crochet Scrunchie

Materials Needed:

Approximately 30g (40g for a larger scrunchie) of yarn suitable for a 4.5mm crochet hook.
A 4.5mm crochet hook.
Scissors.
A darning needle.
An elastic band (preferably a thicker one to support the yarn).

Scrunchie Pattern:

Start with a Slip Knot:

Twist your yarn and pull it through itself to create a slip knot.
Place the crochet hook in the loop and tighten around the hook by pulling the long end.

Attaching Yarn to Elastic:

Make a slip stitch around the elastic band to attach the yarn.
Chain up one and start making single crochets into the band, covering the short tail end as you go by wrapping it over the hook.
Continue single crocheting around the elastic, pushing the stitches together to avoid gaps.
Keep crocheting until the elastic is fully covered and the yarn color is visible without any elastic showing through.

First Row of Double Crochets:

Slip stitch into the first single crochet.
Chain two, and make double crochet increases in every stitch by adding two double crochets into each.

Second Row of Double Crochets:

After completing the first row of double crochets (increases), slip stitch into the top of the first double crochet of the previous row.
Chain two and repeat the process of making double crochet increases (two double crochets in every stitch) all the way around.

Finishing the Scrunchie:

After completing the second row of increases, you can decide on the final row based on how ruffled you want the scrunchie:
For a larger ruffle, continue with double crochet increases.
For the same ruffle size, alternate between one double crochet in one stitch and two in the next.
To tone down the ruffles, put one double crochet in every stitch.
Slip stitch to finish the row once you've made your desired adjustments.

Adding a Single Crochet Edge (Optional):

Fasten off the base color.
Attach a new color with a slip knot and insert the hook into the first stitch.
Slip stitch to attach the new color, chain one, and make single crochets all the way around.
Slip stitch into the first single crochet to join.
