Cute scrunchie knitting pattern for sportweight cotton, wool, alpaca, acrylic or other cushy and cozy yarn.

This knitting pattern is easy, quick, and perfect for intermediate-advanced beginners. Use up your scrap yarn with a quick little scrunchie project. These make great gifts!

Skill level: intermediate*

Cast on, picot edge, and bind off methods are intermediate level, in my opinion. The pattern has links to tutorial videos, and a savvy advanced beginner could probably handle this project.

Needles - size US 3 - 16” circular needles (3.25 mm x 41 cm)
Add’l set of 16” circ needles or dpns in a close size
elastic hair tie

Note: I think this yarn feels lighter than some sportweights. Check your gauge if using an alternate sportweight yarn with larger needles. The pattern also has a note to help you adapt it to a larger needle/yarn weight.
