Scrunchie

The pattern provides instructions for a worm scrunchie made of crocheted chains attached to an elastic hair band. The scrunchie is made using fingering weight yarn and a 3mm crochet hook by crocheting rounds that alternate between single crochets and chains attached between stitches. The scrunchie gets its name from its resemblance to worms due to the crocheted chains attached in rounds.
