Notes:
The most difficult part of making a velvet scrunchy is securing the ends. If you don’t get them secure then every time you stretch the band you will have ends coming out. To avoid this frustration, I recommend knotting the yarn around the hairband leaving a long tail. You will thank me later!
Once the end of the yarn is secure create a loop on your crochet hook.
