How to Crochet a Floral Scrunchie – Beautiful & Decorative

This is the grand finale of our scrunchie series! 🌸 Instead of a plain edge, we’ll crochet little flower-like petals around the elastic, giving you a scrunchie that looks handmade, stylish, and totally unique.

It’s a great project for intermediate beginners who already know their chains, single crochet, and double crochet.

Materials Needed:

• 1 hair elastic (no metal)

• Yarn: cotton or acrylic (light to medium weight works best)

• Crochet hook: 3.5mm–4.5mm (depending on yarn)

• Scissors & yarn needle

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Attach Yarn to Elastic

   • Slip knot on hook, insert under elastic, pull through, secure with slip stitch.

2. First Round – Base Stitches

   • Work single crochet (US) / double crochet (UK) all around the elastic until fully covered.

3. Second Round – Petals

   • Pattern:

     • Chain 3, work 2 double crochets (US) / trebles (UK) in the same stitch, chain 3, slip stitch into the same stitch → this forms one petal.

     • Skip 1–2 stitches, then repeat in the next stitch.

   • Continue around until your scrunchie is covered with flower-shaped petals.

4. Finish Off

   • Join with slip stitch, cut yarn, weave in ends.

✨ Pro Tips

• Use variegated yarn for multicolour petals without switching yarns.

• Try alternating petal sizes (small + large) for a more natural floral look.

• Add beads in the centre of each petal for extra decoration.
