Easy Crochet Scrunchie Tutorial for Beginners (Step-by-Step Written Pattern)

Easy Crochet Scrunchie Tutorial for Beginners

Looking for a quick and beginner friendly crochet project? This easy crochet scrunchie tutorial is perfect for beginners who want to learn how to crochet hair accessories using basic stitches.

This crochet scrunchie is made by crocheting directly over a hair tie, which makes it stretchy, durable, and comfortable to wear. The fluffy texture and simple border make it look beautiful while staying easy to create.

Materials Required

• Lightweight yarn (100% acrylic or cotton blend)
• 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Hair tie / elastic band
• Stitch marker
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

Crochet Scrunchie Written Pattern (Beginner Friendly)

Start by making a slip knot and insert your crochet hook. Place the hair tie onto the hook. Hold the hair tie firmly on both sides.

Insert the hook into the center of the hair tie, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through both loops to make a single crochet.

Continue making single crochet stitches closely next to each other around the entire hair tie. Stretch the hair tie occasionally and push stitches together to avoid gaps.

Once the hair tie is completely filled, join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet. This completes Row 1.

Row 2: Double Crochet Increase for Fluffy Texture

Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet). Place a stitch marker on the third chain.

Into the same stitch, work 2 more double crochet stitches. This makes a total of 3 double crochet stitches in the same stitch.

In each stitch around, work 3 double crochet stitches. This creates a wavy, ripple effect and makes the scrunchie look fluffy.

Join with a slip stitch into the third chain of the starting chain 3.

Row 3: Border with Contrast Color

Attach a new color yarn. Chain 1 and make a single crochet in the same stitch.

Chain 2, then single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern: single crochet, chain 2 in each stitch around.

Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch. Fasten off and cut yarn.

Finishing

Weave in all yarn tails using a tapestry needle. Make sure the yarn is secured and not visible on the front side. Trim excess yarn.

Crochet Easy and Simple Summer Top for Beginners (Made with Just 2 Rectangles)

Looking for a beginner-friendly crochet summer top that is light, airy, and easy to customize? In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to crochet a beautiful granny stripe summer top using only two simple rectangles.

This crochet top is made using a measurement-based method instead of stitch counts, making it perfect for beginners and for all body sizes. The breathable granny stripe pattern makes it ideal for spring and summer wear.

Skill Level & Pattern Details

• Skill Level: Beginner
• Pattern Type: Granny Stripe
• Construction: Two Rectangles
• Fit: Customizable (Measurement Based)
• Season: Summer / Spring

Materials Required

• 500 g cotton blend yarn (60% cotton, 40% acrylic)
• 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Stitch markers
• Measuring tape
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

Measurements Used

This project follows a measurement-based approach. You can adjust the size easily by following these measurements:

• Top Length: Shoulder to waist or hip (example used: 20 inches)
• Foundation Chain Length: Twice the top length (example: 40 inches)
• Width: Divide your chest measurement by 4 (example: 10 inches)
• Neck Depth: Approximately 8 inches
• Armhole Depth: 8 to 9 inches (adjust for fit)

Written Crochet Pattern (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Foundation Chain

Start with a slip knot and make a foundation chain measuring twice the length of your desired top. For example, if your top length is 20 inches, your foundation chain should measure 40 inches.

Ensure the chain count is a multiple of 3 plus 1 additional chain. If needed to add of 1–2 chains to adjust the count,you can add them. It will not affect the top too much..

Step 2: Row 1 – Granny Stripe Pattern

Begin with chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet). In the same stitch, work 2 more double crochets to form a granny cluster.

Skip the next two chains and work 3 double crochets into the next chain. Repeat this pattern across the row:

• Granny cluster
• Skip 2 chains
• Granny cluster

The row will start and end with a granny cluster.

Step 3: Row 2

Chain 3 and turn your work. In this row, you will work granny clusters into the gaps from the previous row.

The second row will start and end with a gap.

Step 4: Row 3 and Beyond

For the third row, chain 3 and turn your work. Make 2 double crochets in the first gap to complete the first cluster.

Continue making granny clusters in every gap across the row. Alternate between Row 2 and Row 3 patterns until the rectangle reaches the required width.

In this tutorial, 25 rows were completed to achieve the desired width.

Making the Two Rectangles

Once the first rectangle is complete, fasten off and weave in the ends. Make a second rectangle with the same measurements.

Each rectangle measures approximately:

• Length: 40 inches
• Width: 10 inches

Marking Neck and Armholes

Fold both rectangles lengthwise and place them side by side. Mark the following:

• Front Neck Depth: 8 inches
• Back Neck Depth: 8 inches
• Armholes: 8–9 inches on each side

Use stitch markers to clearly mark all points before joining.

Joining the Panels

Using a tapestry needle and a long yarn tail, start sewing the panels together from the bottom up to the stitch marker.

Sew in one direction (front to back) and secure the join with small knots every 4–5 inches for strength and a clean finish.

Repeat the same joining process on all sides, leaving openings for the neck and armholes.

Finishing Touches

Once all sides are joined, weave in all loose ends securely. You can leave the top as it is or add a simple border if desired.

Your granny stripe crochet summer top is now ready to wear!

Easy Crochet Scarf Tutorial for Beginners – Simple 2 Row Repeat Pattern

Looking for an easy crochet scarf tutorial for beginners? This simple crochet scarf pattern uses a two row repeat stitch that creates a beautiful textured design with minimal effort.

This scarf is beginner-friendly and perfect for learning double crochet stitches and mesh crochet patterns. The pattern alternates between a solid row and mesh row, creating a light, stylish scarf suitable for fall and winter.

This pattern can be easily customized to make scarves of different lengths and widths by adjusting the starting chain.

Materials Required

• 4 Weight Medium Acrylic Yarn (Loops & Threads Facets Acrylic or similar)
• 4 mm Crochet Hook
• Stitch Marker
• Tapestry Needle
• Scissors

In the original tutorial, Loops and Threads yarn was used. However, you can use any yarn of your choice with a suitable hook size.

Abbreviations Used

• ch – chain
• dc – double crochet
• st – stitch

Pattern Notes

• Foundation chain must be an odd number.
• Chain 2 at the start of each row is a height chain and is ignored.
• The pattern alternates between mesh row and solid row.
• First and last three stitches remain solid to form a clean border.

Foundation Chain

Begin with a slip knot.

Make a foundation chain of your desired length. For the full scarf example, 267 chains were made. For the sample demonstration, 21 chains were used.

Ensure the number of chains is odd.

Row 1 – Double Crochet Row

1. Chain 2 (height chain – ignore).
2. Make 1 double crochet in the first chain.
3. Place a stitch marker in the first DC to track the stitch.
4. Continue making 1 DC in each chain across.
5. You will have the same number of DC stitches as your foundation chain.

Example: If you made 21 chains, you will have 21 double crochet stitches.

Row 2 – Mesh Pattern Row

1. Chain 2 and turn.
2. Make 3 double crochet stitches in the first three stitches.
3. This creates a clean border.
4. Chain 1.
5. Skip the next stitch.
6. Make 1 double crochet in the following stitch.
7. Repeat: Chain 1, skip 1 stitch, 1 DC in next stitch.
8. Continue until the last three stitches remain.
9. Make 1 DC in each of the last three stitches.

This row creates the mesh or hollow square pattern.

Row 3 – Solid Row

1. Chain 2 and turn.
2. Make 3 double crochet stitches at the beginning.
3. Then work into the mesh spaces:
4. Make 1 DC in the chain-1 space.
5. Make 1 DC on top of the previous DC.
6. Repeat: 1 DC in chain space, 1 DC on top of DC.
7. Continue across the row.
8. Finish with 3 DC stitches at the end.

Now you will see the alternating pattern:

• Solid Row
• Mesh Row
• Solid Row

Repeating the Pattern

Continue repeating:

• Row 2 – Mesh Row
• Row 3 – Solid Row

Repeat these rows until the scarf reaches your desired width.

The example scarf was made with 13 rows. For smaller samples you can make:

• 9 rows
• 11 rows
• 13 rows

Always end with an odd number of rows.

Finishing the Scarf

1. Once the desired size is reached, chain 1.
2. Pull the yarn through and cut the yarn.
3. Secure the final stitch.

Adding Tassels

1. Wrap yarn around a book several times.
2. Cut the loops to create strands.
3. Take three strands together.
4. Fold them in half.
5. Insert hook into the chain-2 gap at the edge.
6. Pull the folded yarn through.
7. Pull the tail ends through the loop to secure.
8. Repeat on alternate rows.

Attach tassels on both sides of the scarf.

Final Touch

Use a tapestry needle to weave the starting and ending yarn tails into the tassels to hide them neatly.

And that's it! You have created a beautiful handmade crochet scarf using a simple beginner-friendly pattern.

Why This Scarf Pattern is Great for Beginners

• Easy two-row repeat
