Katrin Scrunchie (EN)

Katrin Scrunchie (Katrin Hårelastik) is a hair elastic made with the same pattern as Katrin Mittens, and both patterns are inspired by one of the many traditional Faroese patterns found in the book "Faroese Knitting Patterns" (Original Title: Føroysk Bindingarmynstur) by Hans M. Debes (1932). The elastic keeps the hair securely in place, as it also has an elastic inside. The closure is what makes the pattern more challenging, especially if you choose to do a knit-together closure around the elastic. You can knit it using yarn such as Jawoll from Lang Yarns or Class Garn from Mayflower, both on a size 3 needle. You can use a size 5-6 needle as a auxiliary needle for the closure.
