What You’ll Love About This Crochet Flower Scrunchie Pattern
Materials Needed for Crochet Flower Scrunchies
Yarn for This Pattern (Worsted + Bulky Options)
You will need approximately 5 grams (10 m / 11 yds) of worsted weight (4) yarn or 8 grams (16 m / 18 yds) of super bulky weight (6) yarn for each scrunchie, making this a perfect small project for using up leftover yarn.
The samples pictured were made using Premier Just Chenille in the colors Pink and Hibiscus, a 100% polyester, super bulky (6) yarn (60 m / 65 yds per 50 g), and Premier Just Yarn Teddy in Hot Pink, a soft worsted weight (4) blend (62% acrylic, 38% polyester; 100 m / 109 yds per 50 g).
Both of these yarns were purchased at the Dollar Tree, making this an incredibly budget-friendly project! If you’re shopping there, look for any soft, plush, or standard worsted yarns, they work beautifully for this pattern. You can also substitute with similar yarns from your stash, making this a great stash-busting project.
💡 Tip: If your yarn feels thinner than a typical worsted weight (which can happen with some budget yarns), simply add a few extra stitches to your base round for a fuller scrunchie.

How to Crochet a Flower Scrunchie (Free Pattern)
Tips for Perfect Crochet Scrunchies
Getting a polished, professional-looking scrunchie comes down to a few simple details. First, make sure your stitches are worked snugly around the hair elastic so the scrunchie has enough structure and doesn’t look loose or floppy. If your stitches are too tight, though, it can make the scrunchie stiff—so aim for a comfortable, even tension.
When switching between worsted and bulky yarn, keep in mind that bulky yarn will naturally create a fuller, more dramatic “flower” effect, while worsted weight gives a more subtle, everyday look. If your scrunchie isn’t as full as you’d like, simply add more stitches into the base round.
Finally, don’t skip weaving in your ends securely—scrunchies get a lot of stretch and wear, so taking an extra minute here will make sure your finished piece holds up over time.
Can You Sell Crochet Scrunchies? (Craft Fair Tips)
Yes! Crochet scrunchies are one of the best-selling items at craft fairs and markets, especially in the spring and summer months. They’re quick to make, use minimal yarn, and are priced in that perfect impulse-buy range.
To make the most profit, try batching your scrunchies by making several at once. This saves time and helps you build inventory quickly. Offering a variety of colors (neutrals, pastels, and seasonal shades) can also help attract more buyers.
For pricing, most crochet scrunchies sell well in the $5 - $12 range, depending on your yarn and market. Display them in a small basket or on a simple stand so customers can easily see and grab them.
If you’re selling online or at markets, handmade scrunchies like these are a great way to introduce new customers to your work and build your brand.
Dollar Tree Yarn Hack for Crochet Scrunchies
One of the best things about this pattern is how budget-friendly it can be. You can easily make these crochet flower scrunchies using yarn and hair elastics from the Dollar Tree, making this a perfect beginner project or low-cost item to sell.
Dollar Tree yarn is typically on the lighter side of worsted weight, so if you want a fuller scrunchie, you can hold two strands together or add extra stitches to your base round. This simple trick instantly gives your scrunchie more volume without increasing your cost.
Pair that with affordable hair ties, and you can create multiple scrunchies for just a few dollars! Perfect for building craft fair inventory for craft fairs without a big upfront investment.
