Hair Scrunchie from Handspun Merino

What'cha Knittin'?
1

For the KH Forum April knit-along this month, we’re making hair accessories. So, I chose to start off with a hair scrunchie.

I used some yarn that I spun on my spinning wheel a couple years ago - a beautiful blue merino wool.

Here’s the finished scrunchie:

I tried it on, and it works great!

Here’s the free knitting pattern for the scrunchie:

Thank you all!
That pattern is SO quick and easy. I think I could make eight scrunchies a day if I wanted to.

A fun spring and summer project. :thumbsup:

Hi Sandy,

Great looking scrunchy, and I too love the color you chose.

One question, will it hold [I]really[/I] thick, strong hair? My DIL has hair so thick it’s ruined many vacuum cleaners.

Thanks!

You look adorable! :hug:

I can definitely vouch that it will hold VERY thick hair. My hair is coarse and ridiculously thick. I have an Irish heritage, as well as some Cherokee Indian thrown in. :teehee:

Here’s a view of the back of my head:

Thanks Dollyce! :heart:

Sandy, I commented on your blog but thought I would comment here as well.

What a fabulous project!!! I just love the color and the pattern!!!

Thanks Nathalie! It’s so easy, I feel guilty accepting compliments. :teehee: It was like knitting a tiny scarf and seaming it together.

Why feel guilty? Just because a project is easy doesn’t mean you don’t deserve kudos for a lovely job.

:hug:

Spoken like a wise friend. :hug:

Great job!!

I love it Sandy! Thanks for posting the pattern! That’s a nice project to have when you feel like some real instant gratification - and it’s useful too!

Thank you both! I’ve only made two of these…the first one was for a care package for a little girl in another country. It was made with a red sparkly yarn. I think I’ll make some more with some novelty yarn again. So fun! :slight_smile:
