Pupu is the Finnish word for a bunny rabbit, and the scrunchie got its name after the tied bow that resembles the ears of a bunny. The Pupu scrunchie can be worn with or without the bow, and it makes the perfect project for all your leftover mohair yarns!

This is the smaller version of my popular Pupu scrunchie pattern, suitable for finer and shorter hair or when you just wish to wear something a bit less dramatic ;)
