chunky crochet scrunchie

You can learn how to crochet a beginner-friendly crochet scrunchie with this free and easy tutorial. Not only are scrunchies a fun nostalgic project they are also quick to make!

Keep on reading down to learn how to make a chunky crochet scrunchie using jumbo yarn and simple crochet stitches.

How to Crochet a Scrunchie

To make a crocheted scrunchie you will need a hair tie, yarn and a crochet hook as well as knowledge of one crochet stitch. If you can half double crochet, then you can make these scrunchies with no problem.

Materials for a Scrunchie:

Hair Tie: A regular hair tie is fine, but I suggest getting the ones without metal, so the yarn won’t snag. If you use lighter yarn use a lighter colored hair tie and the same goes for darker yarn and a darker hair tie.

Yarn: I used a jumbo #7 weight yarn called Bernat Blanket Extra. You are going to love how this jumbo yarn makes the ultimate chunky yarn crochet scrunchie. I used left over scrap yarn from the weighted crochet blanket I designed for the tutorial below.

Crochet Hook: You’ll want a 9 mm or 10 mm crochet hook to work with the chunkier yarn. Since this is a quick project you could make one of these scrunchies using each size to see which one you like best.

Stitches for a Scrunchie:

The whole scrunchie pattern will be worked using hdc in the round which means you will work a certain amount of hdc’s followed by a slip stitch to the first hdc to complete or join the round.

Half Double Crochet (hdc):

  • YO (yarn over) Insert hook from front to back of the designated stitch, YO the hook and pick up a loop. 
  • YO the hook and pull back through all three loops on the hook.

Ready to Get Started?

Now that you know about all the supplies to make a scrunchie with and the one simple stitch you are ready to get started. You’ll love how easy to make a DIY hair scrunchie!
