Shelob Scrunchie

The **Shelob Scrunchie** is the ideal project for using up your leftover mohair and turning it into an accessory that is both stylish and practical. If you have already knitted the Shelob Sweater, it is the perfect accessory to create a beautifully coordinated set. The Shelob Scrunchie is knitted in stockinette stitch with one strand of lace weight yarn —either flat or in the round—and then seamed lengthwise to form a tube. If knitting flat, the ends are joined to close the tube, and a discreet elastic band is inserted through a small opening left in the knitting. **Gauge :** 15.5 sts / 25 rows = 10 cm × 10 cm [4" × 4"] following the pattern below, using 4.5 mm [US 7] and 8 mm [US 11] needles, after blocking and drying. **Needles and Cables :** 4.5 mm [US 7] and 8 mm [US 11] needles, fixed or interchangeable 75 cm [30"] cable **Recommended yarns :** approximately 8–9 g, or 65–80 m [70–90 yd] of Lace weight yarn Available in French (with english abreviations) and english !
