🌻About This Flower Scrunchie Crochet Pattern
This pattern creates one crochet flower scrunchie using a hair tie as the base. The sample has a pink center and a white outer edge. The stitches are worked directly around the hair tie and built up in rounds, so there are no separate flower pieces to assemble.
