Bun Wreaths & Hair Ties Free Crochet Pattern

I’ve got a super cute project to share with you today. It’s a lovely stash-busting make that’s quick, practical, and perfect for using up those leftover bits of yarn.

These are great for donating, ideal for craft fairs, and make really pretty last-minute gifts — especially for someone with long hair.

Other notes: The bun wreaths are designed to place around a finished bun without twisting. The Ruffled hair tie may be twisted multiple times to tie up the hair. As the hair tie will be stretched make sure to fit as many stitches around as you can to allow for this (or you can also use as a bun wreath).
