Pattern:
CH 66 and begin row 1 in the second CH from your hook.
Row 1:
Into the first stitch and each stitch across, place 1 SC. CH 1 and turn.
(65 SC stitches)
Row 2:
Into the first stitch, place 1 SC and 1 DC. SK the next stitch. *Place 1 SC and 1 DC, SK the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * 30 more times. Place 1 SC into the last stitch. CH 1 and turn.
(33 SC stitches, 32 DC stitches = 65 stitches)
Rows 3-12:
Repeat row 2.
Assembly:
Your rectangle should measure approximately 15 x 3 inches. If it’s a little more or a little less, that’s okay! Fold the piece together so the longer edge is open at the top (photo A).
Place the elastic in the fold and begin working 1 SC into the front and back folds to join them together, making sure you are working over the elastic (photo B).
As you join the front and back folds, working your way to end of the rows, you will need to continually shift the elastic around. As you SC, the project will begin to create some natural ruffles and waves for a classic scrunchie look (photo C).
Once you reach the end, fasten off and cut a long tail. Use your yarn needle to join the open ends together using the sewing method of your choosing. Fasten off and weave in all ends (photo D). Shift the SC seam around the elastic to hide.
Great job! Your Suzette Scrunchie is complete. For more fun and creative designs, be sure to check out the Free Pattern section of my blog. Ad free, printer friendly versions can be found in my Etsy and Ravelry shops. Happy Crocheting!
