Crochet a Fun 3-Layer Ruffled Boho Scrunchie!

Hey everyone, it’s Bindu! 

Welcome back to the blog. 

Today, we are working on something super fluffy that perfectly fits right into our love for quick, satisfying small projects. If you want a unique accessory to brighten up your outfits, you have to try my 3-Layer Ruffled Boho Scrunchie!

I know I usually focus a lot on headbands and beanies over on the Crochetsmash channel, but this scrunchie design was just too exciting not to share. I made a trip out to the Michaels at Kennedy Commons recently and picked up a few different shades of Red Heart Super Saver yarn. Combining three fun colors—like the purple, green, and yellow I used in the tutorial—makes this such a playful piece. You could even use red, green, and white for an adorable handmade holiday gift!

Please don't let the "three layers" part intimidate you! It sounds complex, but in simple terms, all we are doing is crocheting around a basic hair elastic. The secret to getting those gorgeous ruffles is just putting multiple double crochet stitches into the exact same spot. This naturally forces the yarn to wave and flare out beautifully.

In the video, I also share a neat little construction trick. I show you exactly when to start your third layer so the scrunchie doesn't get too stiff or hard to hold onto while you are still working on it.

It is the perfect, relaxing project to whip up in an afternoon, and you can easily customize it with whatever acrylic yarn you already have in your stash.

Grab your 5 mm hook, get comfortable, and crochet along with the full step-by-step video below!

What three-color combination are you going to use? Let me know in the comments, 

and happy crocheting!

Easy Boho Puff Stitch Baby Beanie Crochet Tutorial (0-3 Months)

Hello everybody!

You are here to see what I am up to, right? I made a puff stitch baby beanie! Puff stitches are a quick way to create an incredibly interesting, squishy texture.

I was looking on Amazon for cotton yarn, and these colours looked so pretty. They are Caron All Day Cotton, and it is an absolute pleasure to crochet with it. Playing up with the yarn and my 4.5 mm hook, I came up with the idea for this boho-style baby beanie.

Most people loved my granny stitch beanie on YouTube (if you wish to see that one, it is here). So, I knew I had to share this new design with you all!

Let me tell you, if you are in a hurry and need to make a quick baby shower gift for a 0 to 3-month-old, just follow the pattern in the video below. You will be finished within an hour!

Even if you are a beginner, this is super easy to pick up. Here is what we cover in the tutorial:

• Mastering the Puff: I will show you exactly how to loosely pull up your loops to create those perfect, plush little stitches.

• The Ribbed Edging: We finish the brim with a clever trick that gives it a snug, stretchy, knit-like fit to keep the baby's head warm.

• Bonus Colour Trick: Stick around to the end of the video! I included a secret for making a striped beanie using two colours without having to cut your yarn every single round.

Easy Peacy Crochet Scrunchie

I found a nice project to use up the leftover scraps of yarn.

Crochet scrunchies. 

They fit my love for immediate satisfaction projects. 

I am not the one to make big crochet projects. Make a quick boutique accessory from a simple hair elastic

You will see that the project uses only basic stitches and some leftover yarn. I am thinking of more scrunchies with different patterns. So subscribe to Crochetsmash on YouTube!
