Yarn over and pull through to secure the yarn onto the band.

Crocheting Around the Elastic

Continue evenly around until you've covered the entire elastic.

Remove the stitch marker once the round is complete.

Second Flower Branch

Skip 2 stitches on the base.

Insert the hook into the fourth stitch from the previous branch.

Pull up a loop and attach yarn.

Chain 6 and repeat the petal pattern as done for the first branch.

Create only 5 petals this time.

End with 15 chains and cut the yarn.

Repeat the first and second flower branches alternately around the scrunchie (5 groups total).

Crocheting the Leaves

Attach yarn between flower groups.

Chain 6, slip stitch into the second chain from the hook.

Slip stitch into the next stitch, then chain 5.

Slip stitch again and repeat for a total of 6 leaves.

After the sixth leaf, slip stitch into the space between the third and fourth leaf to anchor.

Make 3 sets of small chain leaves total.

Finish with a slip stitch, chain 1, and fasten off.

Pull the loop up, chain 4, and slip stitch into the center.

Repeat for a total of 3 large flowers.

Medium and Small Flowers

On the next flower branch, chain 4 and make 5 double crochets into the base loop.

Repeat the process across all flower branches to decorate the scrunchie.

Finishing Touches
