- In the very first single crochet stitch from the previous round, work two more double crochet stitches.
- Continue working three double crochet stitches into each subsequent single crochet stitch around the entire elastic band.
- At the end of the round, slip stitch to join and finish if you prefer a smaller scrunchie.
Adding More Volume (Optional)
- Chain three again.
- Continue working three double crochet stitches into each double crochet stitch from the previous round.
- Repeat this process for as many rounds as needed to achieve the desired fullness.
Finishing
- Once the desired size is reached, cut the yarn, leaving a tail.
- Pull the tail through the loop on your hook to secure it.
- Thread the yarn tail onto a tapestry needle.
- Weave in the loose end through the stitches to hide it and secure the work.
