Lace-Edge Crochet Scrunchie Pattern
A lace-edge scrunchie feels more delicate while still using simple stitches and a basic hair elastic. Work slowly around the elastic the first time, then repeat the same structure for faster batches.
Materials
- Cotton or cotton-blend yarn
- Hair elastic
- 3.5 mm or 4 mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Step-by-step instructions
- Cover the elastic with single crochet stitches.
- Join the round with a slip stitch.
- Chain 3, skip 1 stitch, and single crochet into the next stitch.
- Repeat the chain-space pattern around the scrunchie.
- Join with a slip stitch at the end of the round.
- In each chain space, work single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, single crochet.
- Repeat the scallop stitches in every chain space.
- Join carefully so the final scallop blends into the first.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
- Lay the scrunchie flat and shape the scallops with your fingers.
Finishing tips
- Use cotton for cleaner scallops.
- Keep chain spaces even.
- Do not overblock; the scrunchie needs stretch.
How to use it
Use the finished scrunchie for everyday hair styling, gift sets, craft fair baskets, party favors, or quick accessory bundles. Make two or three in matching colors for a more polished gift.
