Level of Difficulty

• A stitch marker is useful but not mandatory, especially when working in rounds.

Tutor’s Suggestions

1. Secure Yarn at the Beginning:
   • Work over the yarn tail when crocheting onto the rubber band to avoid the need for weaving it in later.
2. Fit as Many Stitches as Possible:
   • Ensure the rubber band is completely covered with stitches and try to fit as many stitches as possible for a fluffier scrunchie.
3. Keep Track of Rounds:
   • For the second round, use a stitch marker to mark the start of the round for better accuracy.
4. Adjust Hook and Yarn Sizes:
   • You can use any yarn and hook size, but make sure the hook matches the yarn for ease of working.
5. Push Ruffles Aside While Crocheting:
   • When working in the front loops during the second round, push the ruffles aside to avoid tangling and make it easier to work.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Round 1: Covering the Rubber Band

1. Create a Slip Knot:
   • Start by making a slip knot, ensuring the tail is about 7–8 inches long.
2. Attach to Rubber Band:
   • Insert your crochet hook into the rubber band and place the slip knot onto the hook. Chain 1 to secure the slip knot to the rubber band.

3. Work Single Crochet (SC) Stitches Around the Rubber Band:
   • Insert the hook into the rubber band, yarn over, pull up a loop (2 loops on the hook), yarn over again, and pull through both loops to complete a single crochet.
   • Repeat single crochet stitches around the rubber band, ensuring the entire rubber band is covered.
4. Pull the Stitches and Rubber Band to Create More Space:
   • Slide the stitches closer together on the rubber band and check for any remaining empty space. Continue adding single crochet stitches to make the scrunchie fluffier.
5. Slip Stitch to Join:
   • Once the rubber band is fully covered, slip stitch into the first single crochet to join the round.

2: Working into the Back Loops

1. Identify the Back Loops:
   • Look at the top of your stitches—each stitch forms a small "V". The back loop refers to the portion of the "V" that is furthest away from you.
2. Start with Chain 3:
   • Chain 3 to create a loop.
3. Single Crochet into the Back Loop of the Next Stitch:
   • Work one single crochet into the back loop of the next stitch.
4. Repeat the Pattern (Chain 3, SC in Back Loop):
   • Chain 3 and single crochet into the back loop of the next stitch.
   • Continue this pattern (Chain 3, SC in back loop) all the way around the circle.
5. Slip Stitch to Join:
   • Once you reach the beginning of the round, slip stitch into the back loop of the first stitch and chain 1.

3: Working into the Front Loops

1. Identify the Front Loops:
   • The unused front loops from the previous round will now be visible.
2. Repeat the Pattern (Chain 3, SC in Front Loop):
   • Chain 3 and single crochet into the next front loop. Repeat this pattern around.
   • Add a stitch marker at the beginning of the round to make it easier to track your progress.
3. Push Ruffles While Working:
   • Push the ruffles behind as you work in the front loops to make it easier to see your stitches.
4. Slip Stitch to Join:
   • Once the round is completed, slip stitch into the first stitch and secure the end.

Finishing

1. Fasten Off:
   • Chain 1, pull the yarn through the loop, and tighten it to fasten off.
2. Weave in Ends:
   • Use a tapestry needle to weave in both the starting and ending yarn tails. This will ensure that the scrunchie looks neat and professional.
