Giant Knit Scrunchie

If you've been tempted by those Instagram advertisements for the giant knit scrunchie like I have, it's your lucky day! They're marketed as the way to make a tiny bun look large and dramatically elegant (effortlessly!) And I think it VERY much works! Here's the pattern I made for this and it worked wonderfully. I get compliments regularly and it's so cozy (and giant) in my hair! This pattern is knitted in the round then seamed along the long edge (with an elastic hairband inside) with one row of single crochet. You will need an elastic hairband, scrap yarn, and circular US size 4 needles. The gage and sizing on this doesn't matter much, as long as it's in the general ball park of finished size of 22.5 inches circumference and 5 inches tall. If you prefer to work on flat needles and then add a seam to make the round, that would work just as well! You can also use sewing elastic (stitched or knotted into a circle) instead of hair elastic. If you make this and have any notes please feel free to share for the good of all! Like I said, I'm the only tester so far.
