These Sunshine Scrunchies are so easy to make (just two rounds of crochet!) and can be whipped up in no time at all! They’re also a great way to repurpose some old or boring hair ties. Sunshine Scrunchies are made with velvet yarn which makes them really soft, silky and also gives them that scrunchie-like texture. They look really cute when worn and let’s just say that they were a hit with my daughters!

Materials:
- Velvet yarn
- K (6.5mm) crochet hook
- Hair ties
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors

Pattern notes:
- ch – chain
- st – stitch
- sl st – slip stitch
- dc – double crochet
- hdc – half double crochet
Written in US terminology.
Pattern:
Round 1: Hook the velvet yarn around the hair tie and chain 3. Crochet 24 dc around the hair tie (or any even number of dc depending on the size of your hair tie – ch 3 does not count as a st). Join to the first stitch and ch 1. The hair tie should not be visible at this point.
Round 2: Crochet 2 hdc in first st, slip st in the next st, ch 1, (2 hdc in the next st, slip st in the next st, ch 1) and repeat till the end of the round, finishing off with a sl st in the last stitch. Fasten off and weave in the ends.
