Princess pouf question

OK, so I know how to crochet - basically

But when you guys are talking about crocheting the first chain ONTO the ponytail holder, well, I just have no idea how one would do that. Can someone explain please?

[rn4picu]

Ok, here is my attempt to explain. you have your hook through your starter loop, then go under the pony O and hook yarn, pull the yarn under and through your starter loop. Does that make any sense??

that's how I do it too.

So....it's like you pretend the ponytail holder is the first row of crochet you're chaining onto?

yep! once you get the first stitch on it's easy peasy!

[Amber427]

Yep! I agree. It's kinda weird to start..but when you get the hang of it- it goes super fast.

I was wondering what yarn you guys were using for this? I bought some really cute yarn and taught myself how to chrochet the chain stich but the yarn I bought I wasn't so sure abut. Also how many rows do you do around the pny tail holder?
Thanks,
Lana

i have been using any type of fun fur. my favourite are the ones with the bobbles in them

i do two rows.

if you do a quick google, there are lots of crochet scrunchie patterns out there to use with regular yarn too.

What size crochet hook do you use? I have not crocheted in years but I *think* I could do this but when I went to buy a hook I was overwhelemed by all the different sizes. Any idea what sizes work well? Thanks.
