What have you been up to this summer? 

I have been busy designing fun beginner-friendly crochet patterns, some of which I used during a summer crochet camp that I taught in July.

I have three scrunchie patterns that are fun to make and only require knowledge of two simple stitches the double crochet stitch and the half double crochet stitch.

The Nova Scrunchie is available free here on my blog, and the Laguna and Cordelia Scrunchies will both be discounted during the Summertime Fun Hop happening in August.

The Nova Scrunchie pattern features the double crochet stitch and is a beginner friendly crochet pattern. Use any weight yarn to make this simple but elegant scrunchie!

This pattern is written here using US crochet terms.
