Finished Scrunchie diameter equals 5.5″ x 5.5″
Gauge is not critical for the Caribbean Seashore Scrunchie, making it a great project for using up yarn scraps. However, if you’d like your scrunchie to closely match the size and look of the original design, we recommend using a fingering weight yarn similar to Comfy Cotton from WeCrochet.
If you choose to substitute with a different yarn weight, keep in mind that this may affect the overall size and fullness of the scrunchie. Heavier yarns will result in a larger, more voluminous scrunchie, while lighter yarns may produce a more delicate effect. You may also need to adjust the number of stitches worked around the elastic band to ensure even coverage and proper shaping. When making changes to the stitch count, be sure to work in multiples of 6 to maintain the integrity of the lace stitch pattern.
Experimenting with different yarns can give your scrunchie a unique look and feel. For a soft and romantic finish, try a bamboo or silk blend; for a bolder and more structured scrunchie, opt for a cotton or cotton-blend yarn.
This pattern is highly adaptable, so feel free to get creative with colour, texture, and fibre content. A list of recommended yarn substitutions is included below.

Construction
The Caribbean Seashore Scrunchie is worked seamlessly in the round around a standard elastic hair band. You’ll begin by crocheting directly onto the elastic, covering it with a base round of stitches. Once the foundation is complete, the lace stitch pattern is built outward in continuous rounds to create a delicate, ruffled effect. The result is a soft, stretchy scrunchie with beautiful texture and structure. This method makes it quick to work up and easy to customize with different yarn colours or elastic sizes.
