20 Minute Project!! So Soft Velvet Scrunchie!!!

Skill Level:  Easy

Size:  All Sizes

Materials Needed:

     1 Skein Bernat Velvet Yarn  (Each scrunchie takes only a small amount so you will have enough to make many scrunchies or matching cowls, or a scarf.)

     1 Hair Elastic per scrunchie

     Size H Crochet Hook (5.00 mm)

     Yarn Needle

     Scissors

Gauge:  Gauge doesn’t matter on this project.

Pattern:  

1.  Attach yarn to the elastic with a slip stitch.  Ch. 2.  (This will count as first dc.). Work 69 dc in the elastic circle.  Join to top of Ch 2 with a slip stitch.  (70 st.)
2. *Ch. 3.  Skip 1 dc.  Slip stitch into next dc.*. Repeat between the * * all the way around the elastic.  Slip stitch into the base of the first Ch. 3.
3. Cut yarn, finish off.  Weave in ends.
4. That’s it!  The So Soft Velvet Scrunchie!  You’ll want to make lots of them for all the girls with ponytails that you know!
5. A variation of this would be to change yarn color for Row 2.  You could combine colors to represent school colors for team events and support.  

 This pattern will be a fluffier, larger scrunchie.  If you would like it to be smaller, just work Row 1, finish off and work in the ends.
