Crochet Scrunchies Set of Three in Cotton on Strong Elastic

These crochet scrunchies come as a set of three, worked in cotton over strong elastic in the colours you pick. Each one is about 11 cm across when laid flat. They hold thick hair without pulling and they are light enough to post anywhere, which is why they are often added to a larger order.

How we make a set of crochet scrunchies

1. The elastic is sized. We cut and knot the elastic to a tension that grips without digging in, then hide the knot inside the work.
2. The cotton goes on. Stitches are worked around the loop until the cotton gathers into the ruffle that gives the shape.
3. The ends are sewn in. Every end is sewn back through the body of the work, so nothing can catch in your hair.

Why cotton suits crochet scrunchies

Cotton does not hold heat and does not crease hair the way a tight band does, so a set of crochet scrunchies is kinder on a ponytail worn all day. The ruffle spreads the pressure across a wider area rather than pinching one line, which is the usual complaint about thin elastics.

They wash in with everything else and keep their colour, and the cotton softens with each wash instead of going limp. Three is a practical number because one is always in a bag and one is always lost. If you want something small to go with them, there are charms and keyrings in our small gifts and souvenirs.

Crochet scrunchies specification

Made to order and shipped worldwide

A set of crochet scrunchies is made after you order, which takes 5 to 10 working days, and then it is posted tracked from Hanoi. The shipping page has the detail.

Care

Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap, then press the water out with a towel, reshape the ruffle with your fingers and dry flat away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry, because the elastic will not survive it. More is in our amigurumi care guide.

Questions people ask

Will crochet scrunchies hold thick hair?

Yes, that is where they work best. The elastic is strong enough for a full bun and the cotton grips well on thick or wavy hair.

Can I have all three in one colour?

You can. Name the shade once in the order notes and we will make the whole set in it.

Will the elastic go slack?

It loses a little tension over a year of daily wear, as any elastic does. Because the cotton is worked on rather than sewn, the body of the scrunchie stays intact.

Can I order more than three?

Yes. Tell us how many and which colours and we will price it before you pay.

If you are putting a parcel together, the on sale page is a good place to find something to go with them. Message us on Facebook Messenger if you want a shade matched to an outfit.
