About the pattern
The scrunchie is knitted back and forth in garter stitch and sewn together with a hair tie inside. It’s one size, but it can be made bigger either by knitting more rows or by choosing a looser gauge/bigger needles. How it fits depends a lot on how big and how elastic your chosen hair tie is. You can decide if the scrunchie should be used more as a decorative piece by choosing a small and fairly stretchy hair tie to just go around your hair once or you can use a more regular hair tie so the scrunchie can be wrapped twice for a better hold.

Measurements
Diameter (depends on your chosen hair tie): ~13-15cm
Width from center to edge: ~5cm

Gauge
I used 5.5mm needles to get a gauge of 13.5 sts. x 27 rows = 10cm x 10cm in garter stitch.

Recommendation: The sts. are a bit difficult to count in Teddy Dear, so I recommend that you make a swatch of 16sts and 30rows, wash it, pull it slightly in every direction and let it dry in a straight angle. Don’t make any special edge sts. Simply turn and knit from the other side. When it’s dry you measure width and length of the swatch and calculate gauge like this:

Number of sts = 16sts / (measured width in cm) x 10cm
Number of rows = 30rows / (measured length in cm) x 10cm
