"We've been working some texture into our double crochet scrunchie. And you see we're just kind of getting this nice fat and lumpy effect going. Just to add just a little bit more umph and a little bit more weight to this little crochet design that we've been working on. And all we've been doing is bringing our columns forward or taking them backwards. And the way we've been doing that just to remind every body of the process is just like a double crochet. Take our yarn and wrap it and then we go in through the front of the column and then through the back and pull it up. And through the first two just like a double crochet through the second two. And that's what brings our column to the front. And to pull it to the back we go through the back and then around the front of the column and pull our yarn through like that. Through the first two and the second two. See we pulled it forward and then we pulled that one back. That's all that we've been doing all the way around. And it's just very important to remember to keep track of that. That one was in front and this one I've got to go in the back. Because you want to keep a nice consistent pattern. Of course if you mess anything up all you've got to do is just pull your yarn back out and do it again. It's very easy. That's why I like crochet. You've got one needle. One piece of yarn. It's so easy to back track. So I'm just going through like this. And we're almost done. And you see this is my last column so you just want to make sure that you're really careful. Just to be real clean on this column. Pull it through like that and we're going to close it up the way that we would anything else. Going to count up three chains. So 1, 2, 3, go in right there and pull, go underneath the chain, pull our yarn underneath there and all the way through. And of course just tighten it down and there we go. We have a nice textured little crocheted piece that we can put on our hair."
