"Forever in Blue Jeans" Scrunchie

Materials: Aunt Lydia's "Denim" Quick Crochet in 2 colors (A and B)

Crochet hook size G

Large ponytail elastic

Attach color A to the hook with a slip knot

Round 1: Attach yarn to the ponytail elastic with a sl st, ch 2 (does not count as the first hdc), work 40 hdc around the elastic; join with a sl st in the front loop only of the first hdc.

Pattern note: If you look at the hdc in round 1, you'll see a front loop, a back loop, and on the back of the stitch there's what I call a "bonus" (third) loop. Round 2 will be worked in the front loop only, round 3 will be worked in the back loop only, and round 4 will be worked in the "bonus" loop only.

Round 2: Ch 5, hdc in the 3rd ch from hook, (dc in the front loop only of the next hdc, ch 2, hdc from the side into the top of the dc) 39 times; join with a sl st in the 3rd ch of the beginning ch 5. Fasten off color A.

Round 3: Attach color B with a sl st in the back loop only of any hdc on round 1, ch 7, dc in the 3rd ch from hook, (trc in the back loop only of the next hdc, ch 3, dc from the side into the top of the trc) 39 times; join with a sl st in the 4th ch of the beginning ch 7. Fasten off color B.

Round 4: Attach color A with a sl st in the "bonus" loop only of any hdc on round 1, ch 5, hdc in the 3rd ch from hook, (dc in the "bonus" loop only of the next hdc, ch 2, hdc from the side into the top of the dc) 39 times; join with a sl st in the 3rd ch of the beginning ch 5. Fasten off. Weave in all ends.
