Finkelstein’s Brain Crochet Scrunchie Pattern
Because apparently a normal scrunchie just wasn’t weird enough.
Finkelstein’s Brain is an extremely ruffled crochet scrunchie designed to create a gloriously squishy, brain-like texture. The oversized ruffles give it loads of volume and make it a very fun little accessory for spooky season, costumes, themed outfits, or anyone whose hair accessories could use a bit more personality.
Better yet, it looks far more complicated than it actually is.
The scrunchie is worked in the round and made almost entirely with double crochet stitches. A simple repeating stitch pattern creates all of those dramatic ruffles, so once you get going, it’s an easy project to settle into.
And because it only takes around 125 yards of DK-weight yarn, it’s also a great small project for using up yarn from your stash.
This is a beginner-friendly crochet pattern that can be worked up in just a few hours — making it especially handy when you want a quick handmade accessory, a last-minute gift, or something delightfully strange to wear in October.
