Materials Needed:
- 5 mm Crochet Hook
- Scissors
- Yarn Needle
- Hair Ties (any brand or color of your preference)
- Velvet Yarn (Recommended: Bernat Velvet or Juicy Couture Velvet Yarn, Bulky 5 Weight)
Abbreviations Used:
- ch: Chain
- sc: Single Crochet
- tr: Treble Crochet (US) / Triple Crochet (UK)
- sl st: Slip Stitch
Making Process:
- Starting Off: Take your velvet yarn and tie it onto your hair tie with a basic knot, leaving about 4 inches of tail. Insert your crochet hook through the hair tie, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through to secure the yarn onto the hair tie.
- Single Crochet Round: Work single crochets (sc) around the hair tie. The aim is to fit as many sc as possible, typically between 35 and 45, depending on the hair tie size. Make sure the stitches are close together and covering the hair tie completely after stretching.
- Checking Coverage: Once you’ve worked your sc around, stretch the hair tie to ensure the crochets cover it adequately. There should barely be any visible parts of the hair tie.
- Connecting the Round: Ensure your stitches are not twisted, and slip stitch (sl st) into the top of the first sc to connect the round.

- Starting the Ruffle Layer: Chain up 3 to begin the treble crochet (tr) round. Wrap yarn around the hook twice and insert it into the first stitch, making sure to work over the tail end.
- Adding Ruffles: Place three tr in each sc around the ponytail, ensuring you’re working over the tail end as you go. Keep stitches close, ensuring not to skip any.
- Finishing the Ruffle: After completing the tr around, sl st into the top of the first tr, cut the yarn leaving a 5-6 inch tail, and pull through the loop to secure.
- Weaving Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in the ends. Run the yarn under tr stitches, making sure the needle is going through the middle tube formed by the treble crochets for a neat finish.
- Final Touches: Gently stretch your scrunchie to even out the ruffles and trim any excess or flyaway yarn. The result? A beautifully ruffled, velvet scrunchie that stretches back to size and snugly holds your hair.
With your velvet scrunchie complete, you've now added a touch of luxury and comfort to your accessory collection. Enjoy crafting more in different colors to match your outfits or give away as thoughtful, handmade gifts!
Crochet Velvet Bag
Discover the joy of crocheting a stylish and fluffy velvet bag, perfect for the winter season. This free crochet pattern utilizes soft and touchable yarn, ensuring both elegance and comfort. The addition of a heart keychain brings an extra charm to your creation, making it a fantastic accessory or a thoughtful handmade gift. This project is suitable for intermediate crocheters looking to expand their skills with a chic and practical item. Follow this straightforward guide to create your own cozy velvet bag.
Materials Needed:
- Fluffy yarn (Luna Art Baby Fox, 100 grams, 125 meters) - a little more than one skein
- Crochet hooks: 8mm and 6mm
- Scissors
- Needle
- Markers
Abbreviations:
- ch - Chain
- sc - Single Crochet
- st - Stitch
- sl st - Slip Stitch
Making Process:
- Start Your Bag: Measure about 160 cm from the yarn's end and create the first loop. Begin by crocheting a chain that, when folded in half, determines the bag's height. Cast on 36 stitches (approx. 40 cm), create a chain of 1, then start the first row by inserting your hook into the second stitch (from the hook) for single crochets.
- Form the Body: After completing the first row, chain 1, turn your work, and continue with single crochets into each stitch, ensuring to go under both loops. Repeat this process for a total of 23 rows to form the main part of your bag, approximately 25 cm.
- Construct the Sides: Without cutting the yarn, fold your work in half to determine the bag's side size. Count 15 stitches from the top on each side and mark them. Between these markers, you'll have 6 stitches indicating where the side panels will be. For each side panel, measure about 60 cm from your yarn end, and similarly to the main body, crochet 6 rows.
Continue...
- Join the Parts: Once both side parts are done, use a needle to weave in all ends. Then, using a single crochet, join these side parts to the main body, ensuring you cover all 15 stitches along the sides and the 6 stitches at the bottom.
- Finishing Touches: Switch to a smaller hook if preferred and do a single crochet edge around the top of the bag for a neater finish. For the handles, crochet a chain to your desired length and attach it securely to the bag with regular stitches, hiding ends well.
- Heart Keychain: Begin with a magic ring, and follow a pattern of treble and double crochets to create a heart shape. Once complete, attach the keychain to your bag for an adorable accent.
This pattern offers a wonderful opportunity to craft a unique and fashionable accessory, with a fluffy texture and an adorable heart keychain adding character. Whether for personal use or a heartfelt gift, this crochet velvet bag is sure to impress.
