Peek A Boo Scrunchie

By Priscilla Hewitt copyright ©2001

Materials: Three colors of a worsted weight "soft" yarn (A, B and C)

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 3, (sl st in the front loop only of the next hdc, ch 3) 39 times; join with a sl st in the first sl st. 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 1, hdc in the same st as joining, ch 5, (hdc in the back loop only of the next hdc on round 1, ch 5) 39 times; join with a sl st in the first hdc. Fasten off color B.

Round 4: Attach color C with a sl st in the "bonus" loop only of any hdc on round 1, ch 2, dc in the same st as joining, ch 7, (dc in the "bonus" loop only of the next hdc on round 1, ch 7) 39 times; join with a sl st in the first dc. Fasten off. Weave in ends.
