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 a small amount 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. The sample is on a mid-gauge. Mid-gauge numbers are first in the pattern with standard numbers in brackets. Gauge is not very important. 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. manual tuck rib completes the edges. Full instructions are in the pattern.

There are tuck rib and elastic attachment videos on my YouTube channel, theanswerladyknits
