The Hydrangea Scrunchie is a beginner friendly knitting pattern that is knit completely in the round. It requires some seaming at the end. Whether you’re looking for an easy first knit, or something simple that can become a staple project, this is the pattern for you. The best part? It’s very hard to mess this pattern up, because it’s completely customizable. Your gauge is off? That’s okay, it will be scrunched up anyway. You cast on too tight? Just cast on more stitches until you can knit into the first stitch. You want to try a new stitch pattern? Go ahead, it will look great! I feel comfortable recommending this project as a first because it was my first project. All around, the Hydrangea scrunchie is perfect for knitters of all skill levels.
