“Quick and fun scrunchie” is a ruffled hair accessory that makes any pony tail or bun elegant and chic! It holds hair tight thanks to the hair elastic inside.

But beware: this scrunchie is addictive!
Once you have made your first project, you will want to make more and more for you and your friends, because, of course, it is a perfect last time gift!

“Quick and fun scrunchie” is worked in the round on an hair elastic.
You will need:

• Cheval Blanc “Alto” (50 g = 105 m/115 yds): a total of approx. 25g = 53 m/58 yds for a project in plain color. For a project in 2 colors: approx. 25 m/28 yds in color 1 and 28m/30 yds in color 2. I used a soft cotton DK weight yarn, and I am so sorry that it is discontinued, but any DK yarn of your choice will do just as well. For yarn suggestions, please refer to the yarns listed above or to the yarns used by the testers.
• 1 hair elastic, diameter: approx. 4.5 cm (2”), thickness: approx. 2 mm (0.08”). You can of course use elastics of other sizes: instructions are provided to get a good result too with other sizes, but keep in mind that the amount of yarn needed will differ.
• 1 hook 3.5 (US E) ;
• 1 stitch-marker ;
• 1 tapestry needle.

This project is beginner friendly: only basic crochet skills are needed.
Instructions are written in US crochet terms.
A chart and a pic are provided to help you with the 3 rds pattern.
