Setup: Join your pink yarn to the hair tie using a slip knot.
Round 1: Ch 1. Work 1 sc into the center of the hair tie. Continue working single crochets (sc) all the way around the band.
Note: Make sure to slide the stitches together as you go to cover the elastic band fully.
Round 2: Slip stitch into the top of the first sc to join. Ch 2, then work 2 dc in the same stitch. Work 3 dc in each stitch around. This creates the base of your ruffles!
Round 3: Slip stitch into the top of the first dc to join. Ch 2, then work 1 dc in the same stitch. Work 2 dc in each stitch around. This round adds incredible volume to your scrunchie.
Round 4 (The Border): Join the round with a slip stitch. Change your yarn color to White. Ch 1, then work 1 sc in each stitch around. This provides a clean, contrasting edge to your ruffles.
Finishing: Fasten off your yarn. Using your yarn needle, weave in all ends securely to ensure your scrunchie can handle being stretched and twisted!
