Scrunchies are gaining more notoriety among young people. Mainly because of films with vintage aesthetics.
These accessories can be made of various materials, but the models made of crochet are charming. In view of this, we have an easy and explanatory tutorial that will help you make one for you, or, who knows, for potential customers.
How to make a crochet scrunchie
With this step by step you can make a crochet scrunchie of each color. The materials are very accessible and production is fast and easy.
Materials
- Line: Color is a personal choice, however, remember to always opt for quality materials.
- Crochet needle: When choosing the needle, take into account the thread size.
- Round or plump elastic: For this piece, the most suitable elastic is the round one, since the crochet stitches will be made around it. Regarding the size, separate approximately 10 cm for this work.
Stitch
In this project we will use 3 stitches: the very low stitch, the low point and the high stitch.
Execution of a crochet scrunchie
- Join the two ends of the elastic so that the knot is not too prominent. If you can, make this joint with a seam to make it more delicate.
- Once the ends are joined, you will have a circle of this elastic. Now cover it completely with low stitches. You should not make any currents between the low stitches.
- TIP: stretch the elastic while making these stitches, as they will be better organized and you will not run the risk of leaving some space unfilled.
- At the end of this step, attach the last stitch to the first with a very low stitch. Then, make three little chains to create the next career.
- Make three high stitches at each low stitch of the row that covers the elastic. This increase in stitches will cause the wave effect that is so characteristic of Scrunchie.
- At the end of the row, attach the last stitch to the first with a very low stitch and tie a very tight knot to avoid the risk of the stitches loosening.
Following this tutorial you will have in a few minutes a beautiful crochet scrunchie to rock around.
