Scrunchies were so popular in the 90s! Then they seemed to disappear, and now they are back. In the 90s I made piles of them, sewing from all colour fabrics. Now I decided to use the same pattern as for sewing but crochet the piece instead.
Crocheting or knitting scrunchies is also a great way to use up your left-over yarns. One tip I got was that you could make scrunchies for sports or school teams in the team colours!

Instructions for making the scrunchie
This makes a medium sized scrunchie. You can alter the sizes but for best results, keep the same proportions.
You can crochet or knit using any stitches but fancier stitches don’t show much. Therefore I’m using just double crochets (as US crochet term). Make a piece 50×8 cm (20×3½ in). Fold it into two lengthwise and crochet it into a tube. I used single crochets in a contrasting colour or glitter yarn for crocheting the sides together. Pass a 20 cm (8 in) piece of elastic into the tube and sew the ends firmly. Finish off by sewing the ends of the tube together.

Hi i like your hair scrunchie’s i want to make fabric scrunchies aswell do you make your own i went into a shop and asked how much for one hair scrunchie was £4.50 i could make my own and a lot cheaper too
I love your scrunchies. The colors are so pretty and I like the color change when seaming together. I never worked with bamboo yarn before. I am still unable to work with fibers and it is very upsetting to me. I miss it. I would love to learn how to knit a pair of socks one day. Yes, it is summer time here in New Jersey USA I love tutorial videos. Thanks for sharing friend!
what size hook hair scrunchies
I crochet the scrunches around the elastic hair bands. Start with single crochet around then do whatever you want. Works wel
