Hello Friends,
So, I've had this faux fur yarn kicking around for some time and I couldn't quite figure out what to make with it. In the past, I had made a pillow cover for an accent pillow in my living room, which I'm quite happy with, but after many failed attempts to crochet and knit a scarf, I was at a loss as to how else I put this yarn to use. Until finally one day I had the idea to make hair scrunchies with it. Honestly, I'm sure how it didn't dawn on me sooner - so quick and simple! I'm so happy with how they turned out - they are very soft and fluffy, and couldn't be easier to make.
If your looking for a less than 5 minute project that is super easy, makes a great gift and is the perfect add on to craft markets, then you're in luck. Below is the the full written patter (super easy and beginner friendly) and video tutorial - enjoy!
Insert hook into the centre of the hair elastic, wrap the yarn around your hook and pull up a loop through the centre of the elastic, Ch 1.
R 1 (only round) - Work a hdc into the centre of the elastic. Continue working hdc's all around the elastic and try to make as many stitches as possible to achieve and nice fluffy and ruffled effect. Once you make it all around, join with a slip stitch to the first hdc and fasten off.
Weave the initial tail up to the other tail and secure with a double knot, trim ends.
