I designed the Gem Scrunchie because the Squid has been begging for lots and lots of scrunchies lately. I find it funny because they were cool when I was young and now they’re cool again. So am I cool again?? Ok, I was never cool. Ha.

This crochet scrunchie is easily the quickest project I’ve designed. You could whip out a few in an evening. I’ve written the pattern for a small and large size. The larger size is just a bit fuller. Both are super fun to make!

This pattern is part of the Furls Blog Hop. Each week new free pattern from a talented designer is added. Patterns could be crochet knit or Tunisian so there’s a lot of variety!

Gem Scrunchie Free Crochet Pattern Instructions

Small size

First Tie

Round 1: Create an adjustable ring, ch 1, esc 6 in the ring, pull tight to close, do NOT join. 6 esc

Round 2: Esc in each st around.

Repeat round 2 until your piece is about 4″ long.

Scrunchie Body

Insert the hair tie through the piece and work the next st over the tie to enclose it in the tube.

Repeat round 2 until your scrunchie is as full as you’d like.

At the end of each round you will have to flip the hair tie around the tube so you can keep working. It may feel finicky at first but will get easier as you go.

Second Tie

Next round: Repeat round 2 with the first st over the hair tie so that it will no longer be in the tube.

Repeat round 2 until it is the same length of the first tie.

Fasten off, sew the last round closed, weave in ends.

To ties the knot loop the ties in the opposite direction of each other around the scrunchie and tie them in a knot.
