Go for soft and stretchy yarn like <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45wTDtN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bernat Velvet Yarn<\/a> to create comfortable scrunchies. I like to use a variegated yarn in worsted weight to show off the colors. I used <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Z3QgYU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Heart Icelandic<\/a> super saver yarn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crochet Hook:<\/strong> A hook appropriate for the yarn. If you&#8217;re using the Bernat Velvet Yarn then a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3R2Wu9e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">6.5 mm hook<\/a> is perfect. If you&#8217;re using a worsted weight then a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3L8JHya\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5.5 mm hook<\/a> and will help you work quickly.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/44xqJbr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elastic Hair Band<\/a>:<\/strong> Opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/44xqJbr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plain hair elastics<\/a> that match your yarn&#8217;s color.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45M77la\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scissors<\/a>:<\/strong> Keep a trusty pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45M77la\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scissors<\/a> handy for trimming.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3P5eVrc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yarn Needle<\/a>:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll use this to weave in ends, but you won&#8217;t need it for long!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/craftyturtleco.com\/1703999144418\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230902_053154-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Stitches Used<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Slip Stitch<\/li>\n<li>Single Crochet<\/li>\n<li>Double Crochet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Let&#8217;s Crochet a Hair Scrunchie!<\/h4>\n<h5>Step 1: Slip Knot and Single Crochet<\/h5>\n<p>Begin by making a slip knot with your yarn.
