Giant Lacy Scrunchie

"Let's make some scrunchies! Summer is the perfect time to work up some scrunchies for markets, as gifts, or just for yourself! I like to use thinner yarn so they aren't too bulky, which is especially great if you have fine hair like me or they are for children to wear. This pattern calls for Lion Brand Truboo, which is so soft and silky in your hair! You can substitute about 150 yards of any DK weight yarn. "
