Crochet Hair Tie Instructions
Step 1: Base Cover
- Prepare the Yarn:
- Take the off-white yarn and double it for added strength.
- Create a slip knot and attach it to the hair tie by inserting your hook into the inside of the tie.
- Covering the Hair Tie:
- Work sc around the hair tie using the doubled yarn.
- Ensure your stitches are loose but snug enough to fully cover the elastic.
- Continue working sc until the entire hair tie is fully covered with no gaps.
- Slip Stitch & Cut Yarn:
- Once the hair tie is covered, join to the first sc with a sl st to close.
- Fasten off and cut the yarn. Hide the loose ends with a tapestry needle.
Step 2: Base Decoration (Off-White Yarn, Single Strand)
- Attach Yarn:
- Use single-strand off-white yarn (not doubled) and attach it to any stitch of the base cover with a slip knot.
- Decorative Layer – Round 1:
- Ch 2 (counts as first dc).
- Work two dc into the same st.
- Continue working 2 dc in each st around the base cover.
- Once the round is complete, join to the first dc with a sl st.
- Fasten off and cut the yarn. Weave in ends.
Step 3: Green Yarn Round
- Attach Green Yarn:
- Attach the green yarn to any stitch from the previous round using a slip knot.
- Decorative Layer – Round 2:
- Hdc, ch 2, hdc into the same st.
- Skip 1 st and repeat: (hdc, ch 2, hdc) into next st, skip 1 st.
- Repeat the pattern around the entire base.
- Join to the first hdc with a sl st and fasten off.
- Finishing the Green Round:

Step 4: Making the Sunflowers

- Work 12 sc into the magic ring.
- Tighten the ring and join to the first sc with a sl st.
- Fasten off the brown yarn, leaving a tail for sewing.
- Sunflower Petals (Yellow Yarn):
- Attach yellow yarn to any st of the brown center.

(ch 2, dc, ch 2, sl st) in the same st. - Repeat in each st around the magic ring for a total of 12 petals.
- Join to the first sl st, fasten off, and hide loose ends.
- Make Multiple Flowers:
- Crochet as many flowers as you want to go around your hair tie.
- For the sample, 14 sunflowers were made, spaced closely. You can reduce to 13 flowers if you prefer more spacing.
Step 5: Attaching Flowers
- Align Flowers:
- Place the flowers evenly around the green decorative portion of the base.
- Attach Using Thread or Glue:
- Option 1 (Needle): Sew each flower securely using the brown yarn tail, pulling through the center of each flower and securing to the base.
- Option 2 (Glue): Use fabric glue to attach the flowers securely to the base. Let it dry thoroughly before use.
- Finishing:
