I know we are having MUCH fewer fall markets, but that doesn’t mean lots of us aren’t still preparing for an upcoming craft show or community festival.
Last year I participated in a Christmas Handmade Craft Show and one of my bestsellers was velvet scrunchies! I highly recommend crocheting some while you sit behind your booth if you have any free time – customers will inevitably ask what you are working on and I got so many sales this way that I couldn’t keep up with the demand and had to take orders.
I’ve included TWO easy scrunchy patterns – one has points like a star and the other has more rounded floral petals.
Stack your scrunchies on a simple paper towel holder to prominently display them on your table.
I designed these two scrunchie patterns to crank out super quick so you have a nice impulse buy at your booth – I sell mine inexpensively at 2/$5 since these are smaller scrunchies and they only take me 5 minutes or less each! Have fun!
Tools and Materials:
- Size E crochet hook
- Bernat Velvet Yarn (any velvet will work)
- Scunci hair ties (you can use any hair tie and add or subtract repeats to cover the band.
That’s it!
Pattern Notes:
- These are smaller hair ties for thinner hair, they work up super fast and are easy to sell cheap!
- Use any velvet or other yarn you have lying around – this is a great stash buster.
- I like to tie my ends together and weave them through lots of stitches, even securing with a needle and thread so the slick velvet won’t unravel.
Abbreviations:
- sl st – slip stitch
- sc – single crochet
- hdc – half double crochet
- dc – double crochet
- tc – triple crochet
- picotch2 – chain 2, slip stitch into the back bump of the 2nd chain from your hook.
Now, time for the Patterns!
