Back to School Scrunchie

Welcome to our delightful gingham scrunchie pattern, perfect for coordinating with your child's summer school dress! This charming accessory is not only stylish but also easy to knit, as it is made in the round and expertly sewn together with mattress stitch along the circumference. In this pattern description, you'll find both comprehensive written instructions and a handy chart to guide you through the process.

You only need small amounts of fingering weight yarn for this project, making it an ideal choice for using up mini skeins or even yarn scraps you may have on hand. For this scrunchie, I opted for the beautiful and durable mercerized cotton yarn, specifically the Scheepjes Catona. I purchased three 10g skeins in the delightful colours of Snow White, Watermelon, and Poppy Rose, but feel free to get creative with your colour choices! An excellent alternative yarn for this pattern is Schachenmayr Catania, which works just as wonderfully.

In this pattern, you will be employing 2 colours per round and skillfully repeating the same 2 rounds to create a stunning gingham pattern that looks intricate but is surprisingly simple to achieve. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, this project is a fantastic way to showcase your colour coordination and knitting skills while creating a cute and practical accessory for summer.
