Giant Lacy Scrunchie

I’m thrilled to publish this beautiful cozy scrunchie for you! I had plans for a triple scrunchie pattern earlier in the summer and it just got away from me. I was invited to a Back to School Email hop and thought one of the scrunchie designs I had been planning was perfect for the hop, so I made a couple of changes and it turned out awesome! I loved using the Lion Brand Truboo yarn for this scrunchie. It really made it extra silky and comfortable.

About the Back to School Email Hop: an email hop is a little different from a blog hop. An email hop is for crochet designers to be able to send their patterns straight to your inbox! How great is that?! So each day, the email hub hosted by Joy of Anvisgranny will direct you to sign up for a designers email list, and then you get their pattern to your email! It’s a little less “hopping” than a blog hop! My day will be Monday, August 15th! So hop to that hub post and be ready to download your free PDF of the Giant Lacy Scrunchie Pattern! Check out these amazing designs!

Alternatively, you might just want to purchase the pattern pack. Each pattern comes out to just 60 cents when you buy the pack! Here is my affiliate link for the pattern pack. If you use my link, you’ll get an additional free pattern from me! It’s my Hair Bow Scrunchie from a couple of years ago, which is still one of my favorites!

I love to offer free versions of my patterns here on the blog! Not all of my patterns are available as such, but this one is simple enough that you might like to just use this free version below! The PDF contains a photo tutorial and is easier for couch crochet, but the written instructions are exactly the same. Here is the ravelry link to purchase!
