I have long curly hair and wear a scrunchie every single day. Even when I wear my hair down for work, I always tie my hair up in the evenings to get it out of my face. I usually sleep with my hair tied up. I shower with my hair tied up. Because my hair is thick and curly, tying it up gets it out of the way and under control. I tend to carry a scrunchie in my bag in case my hair goes rogue while I am out.
I wrote yesterday about crochet scrunchies. I usually wear silk or cotton ones, so the crochet version was a revelation to me. It is so comfortable.
I was absolutely amazing when reader Eva found a pattern and made one in about ten minutes. Isn’t it gorgeous? I absolutely adore the colour and it looks so lush. I am so inspired!
I can knit, crochet, and sew – but not well. I love doing it, but I am left-handed and was taught to use my right hand for crafts. This means I don’t have strength or dexterity in either hand, and it is very difficult to unlearn and relearn a skill that is built on technique.
A scrunchie may be the ideal task for me. Not too complicated and will not take too much time. I found loads of patterns. Click on ‘Source’ in the caption of each photograph to find the pattern.
