Crochet Cat Scrunchie

As the weather is warming up we are switching from making hats and scarves, to smaller crochet accessories. One of my daughter’s favorite accessories is crochet scrunchies. She is always helping come up with new ideas for me to make. Her most recent request has been a crochet cat scrunchie.

These scrunchies are a super easy and quick pattern. Because of this you will be able to easily make a bunch in different colors.

For this pattern I used Big Twist Value yarn and Red Heart Super Saver yarn. Since it doesn’t take a lot of yarn you can use leftovers from your previous projects to make these. They are a great stash buster! You will also need a 5.5 mm crochet hook, a 9 in piece of elastic, and a yarn needle.
