This pretty hair scrunchie is knitted right onto a purchased covered elastic band. Mine came from the Dollar Tree in a package of 8. It’s simple and quick and takes less than an ounce of yarn so you can make one to match any outfit, probably with the leftover yarn from the main knitting.

YARN, GAUGE, SIZE AND MACHINE
Use any yarn that knits about the middle of the dial on any mid-gauge machine or standard machine. Gauge is not very important. Use the stitch size that would work for a sweater, not socks. In other words, the fabric should not be overly dense for this design. No patterning or ribber is required. One size is determined by the purchased elastic but you do have some room for self expression in the degree of ruffling created.

There are some support videos of the techniques in use for this design on my youTube channel, theanswerladyknits
