Donut Scrunchie

Get ready to create a delightful donut scrunchie with our easy-to-follow knitting pattern, perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters! This charming accessory is knit in the round and seamlessly sewn together using the mattress stitch technique for a polished finish. Each scrunchie features colorful sprinkles, meticulously sewn on with fun yarn scraps to give it that extra touch of whimsy. We've provided a handy chart for colorwork to guide you through the design process. However, don’t fret about replicating it exactly; the beauty of this pattern lies in the uniqueness of each icing splodge—no two donuts need be the same! This project only requires small amounts of fingering weight yarn, making it a perfect opportunity to use mini skeins or even leftover scraps. For this project, we recommend using Scheepjes Catona, which is available in convenient 10g skeins, allowing you to experiment with a variety of colors. Alternatively, Schachenmayr Catania works equally well as a substitute. You will need 10g (approximately 25m) of a main color (MC) for your donut base and 10g (approximately 25m) of a contrasting color (CC) for the icing. Additionally, gather small scraps of colorful yarn in a similar weight for the sprinkles—aim for about 1m each. This playful donut scrunchie is not only a fun accessory for your hair but also makes a delightful gift or a lovely addition to your handmade collection.
