Here's how to do it
This scrunchie is knitted in one piece using circular needles, like a headband. Then it's sewn around your hair tie at the end. /Rebecca
Stap 1:
Slip KnotStart by making a slip wick.
Here's how: Wrap the yarn once around your fingers, then pull the working yarn through the loop so that it tightens when you pull on it.

Step 2: Cast on 73 stitches
Place the slip knot onto one of your needles to begin casting on stitches. Here's how to do it:
Hold the needle in your dominant hand, with the yarn tail pointing towards you.
With your other hand, hold the yarn:
— Place the long strand of yarn (connected to the ball) between your index and middle fingers.
— Lay the yarn tail over your thumb.
— Grip both strands with your remaining fingers to keep them secure in your palm.
Now bring the needle under the yarn at your thumb, then over . Tighten the loop with the yarn tail.
Cast has 73 stitches in total. Remember, the slip knot counts as your first stitch.

Step 3: Join to knit in the round
By “joining” the first and last stitch of the row, you'll create a circle for knitting in the round. Here's how to do it:
- Slip the first stitch from the left needle onto the right needle.
(Reverse this if you're left-handed.) - Then take the last loop on the round (now behind), and using your needle, pull it up and over the top of the stitch just released — like binding off a stitch.
Now your round is closed into a circle, and you're ready to continue knitting in the round.

Step 4: Knit rounds using the knit stitch
Here's how to knit stitches (also called the “knit stitch”):
- Make sure the working yarn is behind your needle.
- Insert the right hand needle (the one in your dominant hand) into the first stitch on the left hand needle from front to back.
- Wrap the yarn around the right needle (from back to front, over the top).
- Pull the yarn through the stitch to form a new loop.
- Slide the old stitch off the left-hand needle.
Repeat this process across the round.
!!!: Utilizzare un marchio di stiche (come un pin di sicurezza o loop di yarn) per marcato dove la ruta inizia e termine.
Knit a total of 24 rounds.

Step 5: Tie off
Here's how to bind off your stitches to finish the scrunchie:
- Knit the first 2 stitches as usual.
- Using your left needle, lift the first stitch (the one furthest to the right) over the second stitch and off the needle — just like pulling it over the tip.
- Knit 1 more stitch, then repeat the lifting step.
- Continue this around the whole round until only one stitch remains on your right needle.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail (at least 1 meter) — this will be used for sewing the scrunchie together.
- Pull the tail through the last loop to create a secure knot.
Tip: It's always better to have too much yarn than too little for sewing!

Step 6: Sew Around the Hair Tie
Using a large, preferably blunt tapestry needle, sew the knitted tube around your hair tie to complete the scrunchie.
Here's how:
- Thread your long yarn tail onto the needle.
- Place the hair tie inside the tube (your knitted piece).
- Carefully bring the two long edges together around the hair tie.
- Sew using a zigzag pattern (in and out motion) through the outer loops of both edges. This keeps the seam neat and flexible.
- Once you've sewn all the way around, tie a secure knot to fasten the end.
- Weave in the remaining yarn tail inside the scrunchie for a clean finish.
You're done!
