Sweet n’ Simple Scrunchies

The Sweet n’ Simple Scrunchies by The Perpetual Crafter are delightful crochet accessories. They combine functionality with a touch of handmade charm.

Pattern Name: Sweet n’ Simple Scrunchies
Designer: The Perpetual Crafter
Craft: Crochet
Project Type: Accessories
Yarn Weight: Super Bulky
Suggested Yarn: Premier Yarns Just Chenille

Design and Construction

These scrunchies are designed for quick and easy crafting, making them ideal for last-minute gifts or personal use. The pattern offers two sizes to accommodate medium and thick hair, with the size variation achieved by using different hair tie sizes. Crafted in the round, the scrunchies feature a plush texture, especially when using chenille or velvet yarns, adding a luxurious feel to your hair accessories.

Sizing

The pattern provides two size options to suit different hair types:

  • Medium Hair: Suitable for standard hair thickness.
  • Thick Hair: Designed for voluminous hair, offering a comfortable hold without compromising style.

The distinction between sizes is achieved by selecting appropriate hair tie sizes, ensuring a snug and secure fit for various hair types.

Materials and Yarn

The pattern recommends using super bulky weight yarns like Premier Yarns Just Chenille. Approximately 15 to 22 yards (14 to 20 meters) of yarn are needed per scrunchie. Because of the small yardage needed, these are excellent projects for using up leftover or scrap yarn. Testers have also successfully used acrylic yarns, resulting in equally charming scrunchies.

A 6.5 mm (K) crochet hook is suggested to achieve the desired tension and texture.

You will also need elastic hair ties in sizes corresponding to the desired scrunchie size (medium or thick hair).

Skill Level and Techniques

This pattern is beginner-friendly, requiring basic crochet skills:

  • Working in the round
  • Basic stitches such as single crochet (sc) and slip stitch (sl st)

No gauge swatch is required, as exact gauge is not crucial for this project, allowing for a relaxed and enjoyable crafting experience.

Availability

The Sweet n’ Simple Scrunchies pattern is available as a free download on Ravelry, providing easy access for all crafters. The pattern includes clear, written instructions accompanied by a photo tutorial, ensuring that even beginners can follow along with ease.
