I'm using Katia Bambi Baby Love in Bordeaux. - Acrylic, cotton or cotton blend yarn (DK or Aran) that matches your velvet color, I'm using Paintbox Yarns Simply DK. - Crochet hook that fits your yarn. For this scrunchie, I used a US size 7 (4.5 mm) hook (smaller than recommended size) - A tapestry needle - A pair of scissors - An elastic hair tie (best to be a thick & firm tie without a metal clamp about 6 cm, 2.5 inches in diameter) Choose colors and textures that bring out the personality of who your scrunchie is for or reflect your own unique style. **Notes**: - Numbers at the end of each round in parentheses ( ) = total number of stitches for that round. - Please note that I use US crochet terms. ----------------------------------------------------- **Please Note** This product is for a CROCHET PATTERN only.
