Free Scrunchie Crochet Pattern (Ella Scrunchie)

A free crochet pattern to crochet a simple hair Scrunchie. 
My niece loves wearing these crochet scrunchies, in her hair or mostly around her wrists in all different colours and I love making them as they are such a quick easy stash busting crochet project. 
I love how I can use up little odd bits of Balls of yarn to make the scrunchies, making this a really cool yarn stashbusting crochet project.
