Finkelstein’s Brain

$3.00

Finkelstein’s Brain is a beginner-friendly crochet scrunchie with enormous ruffles that create a wonderfully weird brain-like texture. Worked in the round and made almost entirely with double crochet stitches, it uses a simple repeating stitch pattern and can be finished in just a few hours. You’ll need approximately 125 yards of DK-weight yarn and a 5 mm hook. Gauge isn’t important, making this an easy, low-stress little project for spooky season, costumes, gifting, or anyone who believes their scrunchies should be significantly more dramatic.

Description

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.
