Free Bow Scrunchies Pattern

I love the 90's.  Probably because much of my childhood was during that unique time.  

It makes me smile (and cringe a bit) to see many of the styles of my childhood making a comeback.  Like the scrunchie.

I mean, they were never dead, but to rise back into trending fashion.  Way to go scrunchie!!  

And since I have a daughter, I had to put together this fun tutorial on how to make a scrunchie.






I wanted this scrunchies pattern to be a little more feminine, so I made sure to add this cute bow.  It really adds a lot to the design and makes it really pretty.  

However, the entire pattern will work without the bow as well.

Now, not all scrunchies are created equally.  I remember loads of scrunchies not having enough stretch for my mountains of hair.  

And since both my daughter and I have long hair, I wanted to make sure our scrunchies had enough stretch to wrap several times around our hair.  

So if you don't like stretch, just shorten the elastic.

I also was really happy when I realized I still had some of the Kiss Me Kate fabric leftover from another project.  It is the perfect fabric for this pattern.  

You really don't need a lot of fabric.  This is a great scrap buster project.

One other unique part of this scrunchies pattern is that it comes in both a PDF sewing pattern and an SVG cut file.  

That means if you use a Cricut cutting machine, you can get the cut file in Cricut Design Space.  Which is pretty much my favorite thing ever since I didn't have to cut out this pattern by hand.  (But that is an option.)
