郷愁 (Kyōshū)
Nostalgia /näˈstaljə/

  1. a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.

  2. something done or presented in order to evoke feelings of nostalgia.

Each scrunchie uses only a few ounces of yarn, so it’s the perfect project to use up your loose ends. If you use a full skein, you should be able to make at least 10, depending on the material you use. This is a beginner project and can be worked quickly while watching television or reading.

This pattern was created with soft acrylic yarn, which adds the extra benefit of a strong, slip-resistant grip on your hair. For me personally, it doesn’t need to be adjusted during the day in my naturally wavy hair, even when flat-ironed. You may choose to use another fiber type in the same gauge which should create similar results.
