Step-by-Step Pattern
Round 0 – Preparation
- Tie your elastic hair band securely with a crochet thread to prevent it from slipping. Wrap the thread around twice for extra security.
Round 1 – Foundation Single Crochet
2. Using your 3mm hook and chosen yarn, crochet single crochet (sc) stitches around the elastic band. Continue until the entire elastic is covered.
- Ensure the stitches are tight enough to hold the elastic firmly but not too tight to restrict elasticity.
Round 2 – First Increase Round (Double Crochet)
4. For each stitch of the previous round, crochet 2 double crochet (dc) stitches into the same stitch. This means 2 dc in every single crochet around.
- This expands the piece and starts forming the shape of the hair tie cover.
Round 3 – Second Increase Round (Double Crochet)
6. Crochet 2 double crochet stitches in each stitch again, doubling the stitch count from Round 2.
- Wrap yarn twice over hook to make your double crochet stitches consistent and even.
- Keep the tension even and your increases spaced regularly.
Round 4 – Shaping the Final Round
9. Continue crocheting double crochet stitches around until you reach the desired width, keeping the shape circular and even.
- The video indicates finishing this round by picking the first double crochet stitch and folding the edge inward, creating a neat finish.
Finishing Up
11. Use a sewing needle to weave in and hide all loose threads and ends securely, especially around the elastic band area.
- Check your work to make sure the hair tie is neat, secure, and functional.
Additional Tips from Tutor
- Try different yarns to find the one with the best texture; cotton gives a firm, neat look that holds up well.

Helpful Tip
To maintain elasticity and durability, always crochet snugly over the elastic band and secure the band tightly before starting your stitches. This prevents the elastic from slipping out during use.
