Free Knit Scrunchie Pattern
Scrunchies are a fun accessory. You can never have too many of them, especially if you grew up in the 90’s like we did! You will be knitting these on repeat I promise, they are so fun and fast to knit.
For this pattern I really wanted to feature Premiers new Chameleon Color Changing Yarn. Above, you can see the white scrunchies on the left and when you put them in the sun they change to the picture on the right! They currently offer pink, purple and yellow and the yarn is marked for a limited time only so I would snag some quick, it’s so fun to create with.

US #6 (4.0mm) 16” circular knitting needles
Premier Chameleon Color Changing Yarn or light weight or DK yarn of choice

Step 1:
Once you are done knitting this is what your scrunchie should look like.
Step 2:
Turn the scrunchie inside out so it looks like the picture.
Step 3:
Take your hair tie of choice and wrap it around the middle of your scrunchie as shown. Use the line in the middle from the decreases and increases as your guide for where to place the hair tie.
Step 4:
Fold your scrunchie so that the hair tie is on the inside.
Step 5:
Flatten it the best you can so your cast on and bind off edges are together. It may be helpful to use little clips to hold edges together.
Step 6:
Sew your cast on and bind off edge together all the way around.
Step 7:
Continue sewing your edge until you have it completely sewn shut.
Step 8:
Weave in ends and enjoy!
Happy Knitting!!!
