Scrunchies are making a big comeback in 2021!

Knit your own scrunchies with this simple knitting pattern. The Silk Scrunchie is a small project that you can take with you anywhere!

Knit in stockinette stitch, in the round, on Clover Double Pointed Needles, and seamed with a Clover Darning Needles.

Pattern:

Using a size H crochet hook, start with provisional cast on

Provisionally cast on 18 sts with Clover size 3 dpns

Make a crochet chain of 20 sts

Pick up 18 sts from the crochet chain

Without twisting join in the round and knit in sts for 10 inches

String your 11 inch piece of elastic through your tube and secure by tying the ends together in a secure knot, or sew the ends together with your Clover Darning Needle.

Arrange all of your stitches on one needle and cut your working yarn, leaving a long tail for Kitchener Stitch.

Unravel your provisional cast on and place all of the stitches on one needle.

Arranging so your stitches are on the same side of the elastic for Kitchener Stitch.
