DESCRIPTION
Quintessential Scrunchie is a beginner friendly scrunchie perfect for tying back your hair, securing a braid, or wearing as a bracelet. It was designed to use up any fingering weight yarn scraps you have on hand, and will look great whether you choose to use solid or speckled yarn.

THIS IS A GREAT PATTERN FOR YOU IF:

• You enjoy mindless knitting and are looking for a pattern to relax with.
• You have a ton of scrap of yarn or a mini skein that you want to put to good use.
• You want to experiment with fading colors to make a fun hair accessory that is as unique as you.

SKILLS NEEDED
This pattern is suitable for an adventurous beginner knitter. It is important that you know how to do a knit stitch and also how to knit in the round. Tutorials are included on page 04 for more advanced techniques and transitions.
