More about Handy Helpers

Handy Helpers is a knitting pattern for a hair tie, also known as a scrunchie. It is knitted from side to side as a tube in stockinette stitch and fitted around an elastic band to give it a soft and voluminous look. The piece is knitted in Drops Snow, which is a thick wool yarn in 100% wool. Each scrunchie weighs around 12 grams, so this pattern is ideal for using up small scraps of yarn in different colours. The simple design makes it perfect as an everyday hair accessory, a gift idea or a quick little project to fit in between larger knitting projects
