3 Easy Beginner Scrunchie Patterns

Scrunchies are back guys and these are a cute and quick crochet project for any skill level. Below are 3 different scrunchie patterns using 3 very different types of yarn so hopefully there will be something for every one. All 3 patterns are beginner friendly and work up super fast. These would also make great small items for craft fairs!

There is also a video tutorial up on IGTV showing you how to get all 3 scrunchies started and attach the yarn to the hair tie. I am a visual learner so I understand sometimes it is easier to see certain steps as opposed to just reading them. This is my first ever video tutorial so it is not fantastic but everyone starts somewhere right!

There is a printable PDF version of this pattern for sale in my Ravelry shop  and one yarncanada.com as well :) *This post contains affiliate links. You will NOT be charged anything extra for purchasing through these links, but I will receive a small commission.
