Pattern

1. Round 1: Magic ring, 6 sc in ring. (6 sts)
2. Round 2: 2 sc in each st around. (12 sts)
3. Round 3: *1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st; rep from * around. (18 sts)
4. Round 4: *1 sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st; rep from * around. (24 sts)
5. Round 5: *1 sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st; rep from * around. (30 sts)
6. Round 6: *1 sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st; rep from * around. (36 sts)
7. Continue increasing by 6 sts per round in this manner until the base measures approximately 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter.
8. Once the base is the desired size, work even in sc (no increases) for approximately 20 rounds, or until the bag reaches 8 inches (20 cm) in height.
9. Fasten off and weave in ends.
10. Casing: Fold the top edge of the bag inward by about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Using a yarn needle and matching yarn, whip stitch the folded edge in place, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) gap to insert the elastic.
11. Thread the elastic band through the casing. Overlap the ends by 1 inch and sew them together securely.
12. Stitch the gap in the casing closed. Your scrunchie bag is ready to use!
