Special Stitches
Incomplete Double Crochet (Puff Stitch)
- Yarn over, insert hook into stitch or chain space, yarn over and pull through—do not complete the stitch.
- Repeat this incomplete double crochet multiple times in the same stitch or space until several loops are on your hook.
- Yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook at once to form a puff stitch.
Step-by-Step Pattern
Step 1: Covering the Rubber Band
- Attach your green yarn to the rubber band securely with a few knots.
- Work single crochet (sc) stitches all around the rubber band.
- Move evenly to cover the whole band.
- You'll make about 47 to 50 single crochet stitches (depending on the band’s thickness).
- Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet to close the round.
- Tip: Keep your stitches snug so the rubber band is fully covered with no gaps.
Step 2: Creating Flower Petal Foundations
- Chain 6.
- Skip 4 chains.
- Work a slip stitch (sl st) into the 5th chain (this forms the first petal foundation).
- For the remaining petals, repeat:
- Chain 10
- Skip 4 chains
- Work 3 slip stitches (sl st) into the next 3 chains.
- Continue this repeat until you have created 6 petal foundations around the scrunchie.
Step 3: Crocheting the Leaves
- Skip 3 chains after completing the petal foundations.
- Join your yarn to the 4th chain to start the leaf section.
- Chain 6, skipping the first chain.
- Work 4 slip stitches (sl st) back down the chain.
- Chain 5, then work 4 slip stitches (sl st) back down this chain.
- Repeat the sequence (Chain 5 + 4 slip stitches back down) 5 times to form the leaf shape.
- Attach each leaf segment to the petal foundations with slip stitches (sl st) to secure the leaves to the base.
- Tip: Keep consistent tension to form smooth and neat leaves.
Step 4: Making the Flowers
- Choose a new color of yarn for the flower petals.
- Join into the 4th chain of any petal foundation space to begin your flower petals.
- Chain 3 (this starts the height of the petal).
- Work 5 incomplete double crochets (puff stitches) into the same chain space:
- For each, yarn over, insert hook, yarn over and pull through (leaving loops on hook).
- Do this five times, leaving five loops on the hook.
- Yarn over and pull through all loops to finish the puff-shaped petal.
- Chain 3, then work a slip stitch (sl st) back into the starting chain space to secure the petal.
- Repeat this puffed petal into each petal foundation space around the scrunchie to complete the full flower.
Step 5: Finishing
- Using a tapestry needle, weave in all loose ends on the back of your scrunchie, hiding yarn tails well.
- Trim any excess yarn close to your work for a clean finish.
Assembly & Finished Size
- The completed scrunchie measures approximately 10 to 12 cm (4 to 5 inches) in diameter, making it a comfortable fit for most hair types.
- The elastic band covered with single crochet provides stretch and durability.
- Leaves and puffed petals create a decorative, dimensional effect.
- Properly weaving in ends ensures the scrunchie has a polished look that will hold up with use.
