Inspiration for The Lazy Scrunchie
Don’t you just love scrunchies? At first, when I started seeing them on both Instagram and Pinterest I must admit I was very skeptical. It was like reliving a constant bad hair bun day from the 90s all over again.
They just never looked cute on me – or maybe I never had a good hair day as a kid back then…
But now it’s like I can’t get enough.
And to be honest, so far they have cured many of my bad hair days. That’s why I decided to call the pattern “The Lazy Scrunchie” – because some days you’re just too lazy to do anything about a bad hair day. But you still don’t want to look like you just got out of bed all day 😉
This cute crochet hair scrunchie can also pimp up your hair bun which already looks cute. A scrunchie just adds a little extra cuteness. And depending on which color of yarn you choose to make it in and if you add beads or not, it can become a party bun, a “hygge” bun, a beach bun or something else you need it to be.
Altogether, that’s why I made this super cute free crochet scrunchie pattern for you.
