COLLARETTE DAHLIA SCRUNCHIE
Collarette dahlias are one of my favorite flowers. So it's no surprise that I would want to make a scrunchie that resembles those beauties.
Dahlia Collarette description: One row of flat or slightly cupped petals surrounding a disc. These flowers have an inner set of petaloids generally multiple and irregular forming a collar around the disc.
COLLARETTE DAHLIA SCRUNCHIE
MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn, less than .5 ounce
I (5.5 mm) crochet hook
Ouchless (no metal) ponytail elastic, 1.25 (1.5) inch diameter
Tapestry needle
NOTES:
1. Read instructions all the way though before beginning.
2. For the first round If you want to use a longer elastic sc the number of stitches to half cover the elastic..
3. I used Red Heart Super Saver scraps.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Round 1: Attach yarn around elastic with a sc. *Ch 5, sc around elastic. Repeat from * 8 (12) times. Remember this round you only want to half fill the elastic. End with ch 5. DO NOT join, fasten off. Use your tapestry needle to join in the first sc of this round. (10, 14 loops)
Round 2: Working behind round 1. Attach second color yarn, with a sc in the space between two sc of round 1. (Ch 8, slipstitch in the side of the sc just made) 2 times.
*Ch 8, sc in space between the next 2 sc of round 1. (Ch 8, slipstitch in the side of the sc) 2 times. Repeat from * around. End with ch 8, fasten off and use your tapestry needle to join in the first sc of this round.
With beginning and ending tails tie a tight knot and weave in ends.

Very cute...I am new here and have not made any scrunchies yet. But I will give this one a try...Also, I like the looks of your crochet hook. Have never seen one like that...What are they called and where do you purchase them? I am still just using aluminum or silver hooks. :-) Thanks. Loretta
That is a Clover Soft Touch hook. JoAnn and Michaels here both carry them. Good thing to use your coupons on. I think the regular price is $6.99.
