"What I'm going to show you how to make is something that's very easy and very fun to make with your different crocheting skills that you've learned. And all it is is a type of scrunchie or a hair tie. And what we have here is one that we make using a single crochet pattern. And this is one that just has a single crochet done all the way of the rubber band. Because it's just a rubber band like this but we just covered it up with our yarn very easily. Doesn't take hardly any time at all. So you can buy a pack of these which comes in like a pack of 30 or 60 for a buck and you can really stylize it which is really handy if you've got kids or little girls because they can stretch them out really fast. But with these little bits of yarn you can really have fun with them and not worry about having to buy two scrunchies for a lot more money than a pack of these rubber bands. Now with this same single crochet pattern you can add multiple rows and do multiple colors that way. Also what we have is this. This is what you can make also with the same single crochet pattern. As you can see it goes all the way up here. What we've got here is four rows not counting this outside. And this is just a little flame detail that we did all the way around it. But all of these three you can make with the single crochet pattern and it's really easy, really fun and I'm going to show you how to do it."
