16 Fun and Easy
Crochet Scrunchie Patterns
To Make Today

Crochet scrunchies are a great way to use up leftover yarn and create a fun accessory at the same time. With these free crochet patterns, you can make scrunchies that are gentle on your hair and stylish too. And you can customize the size and stretchiness to fit your hair perfectly.

Crochet scrunchies can be better for your hair than traditional hair ties. They are generally made from soft materials and don’t pull as tightly on your hair, reducing hair damage.

Keep in mind that scrunchies that are too tight or made of harsh materials can still cause damage to the hair. So choose soft yarn and avoid wearing them for long periods./rank
