Thank you!!! It was easy and turned out perfectly. My little granddaughter is going to love it. The video was so easy to see and follow. I appreciate that so much because in so many instructional videos people's hands are in the way or the camera goes in and out of focus, etc. But yours was done very nicely.

This is such a simple pattern. For those who want written instructions, just watch the video on YouTube and make a few notes. Video is short and easy enough to follow along and make the notes for your own written pattern instructions. If you've never done SC around a ponytail holder, it's awkward at first but once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze; and lots of fun to do these for the girls (young and old).

I have made dozens of these, very quick and easy to make! You can use worsted weight acrylic, just make 6 chains instead of 4. They come out frilly, and this will give you more color choices.

SC (single crochet) around the ponytail holder; 30-36 but be your own judge, not too full so as to start twisting the holder. Then RND 2 instead of join, start with CH (chain) 4 (or 6 if you're using yarn other than 100% cotton, such as worsted weight acrylic), then SC into the first SC of the beginning round on the holder. Repeat the CH 4, SC into next ST (stitch) around. Cut yarn and finish off once RND 2 is completed. Hope this helps.

add to previous reply -- I did start joining at the end of first or SC round (sl st to 1st sc, then ch 1 and sc in same stitch). Puts yarn into position to start 2nd round and to me just looks better. Have used different yarns and tend to go with 6 chains on 2nd round loops with anything other than the 100% cotton (4 or 6 works with cotton yarn). Also make a lot of these in pairs. Wonderful, fun use of scrap yarns; experiment with different hooks. Just made a pair in hot pink worsted weight, used G hook and 6 chains in the 2nd round loops. Seven year old granddaughter loves them!

Nice idea but I can't crochet next to my computer... I don't know how y'all do that...I need instructions I can print out and take to my crafting space... Have any of those?

I found this to be a very good easy item to do. I finished a few quickly in a couple of days and there were people who wanted to know where I got them. Thank you for the instruction and pattern.

Hello, as a newbie I was thrilled to find this pony tail holder. It is November and I am always looking for unique things to use in place of bows on my Christmas parcels. So this year all the girls and ladies with long hair will be getting a selection of these lovely pony tail holders. I just wanted to share that I used the recommended cotton yarn and loved the look but found it to be a bit youngish for the older gals in my life. So I experimented and used eyelash yarn, metallics, crochet thread, thicker string like size and a whole assortment of what I call the fancy yarns. Once bunched up they looked great. I have made about 30 sets so far. I am hooked!!!! Thanks so very much for this wonderfully useful pattern.

i just made one for my daughter, while watching the video. though i do not know what a slip stitch is, i think it worked out pretty good. i am still a beginner. and its nice that i can now do something other than rows of chains .

All the big chain craft stores (Michaels, Hobby Lobby, AC Moore, and Joanns) carry Sugar and Cream. If you can't find it, try a 100% cotton yarn that doesn't feel like it has much stretch/give to it. It will feel more like thick string than yarn.

Good video way to much explanation on and on with yarn and just do a few sts and then go on to next row. This could have been accomplished in two min. with written instructions. Thanks for the pattern.

I think the video is great but like some others, I prefer written instructions because i don't make items on the spot and like to have written instructions to go back to later when i do decide to make an item. People are not dumb just because they prefer written instructions. i think most people are like me, some things I learn by watching and some things I like to have written instructions. We can't all be a rocket scientist like another person who looks down on all the others here.

Just a note to my previous comment, after reading other people's comments: To me, watching a video like this is MUCH easier than reading a pattern, since it is like having your granny right beside you, as you learn. If you can't SLOW DOWN enough to learn this way, chances are you won't make this or any other crochet project--you'll just end up w/ a lot of printed out patterns, and no projects! You don't NEED printed out instructions for this, IF you understand the basic single crochet, and LISTEN and WATCH the video. If you won't take the TIME to do that, then you will never learn anything!!!!! Just do it.

Now I've made two of these. Very easy as I'm a beginner. Only thing is I don't know how to tie it off at the end. Is there a certain way to do that? I feel silly asking, but I've been winging it, and it turns up a different way each time.

This is such a great idea. My granddaughter loves them and so does her mommy! These just seem to dress up the hair so beautifully. I'm making them to give away and for charity. Your instructions on the video were perfect - for those of you that find the video too fast, try playing it over and have your work in front of you as you view it. Thank you so much.

Cute and easy; I know my "little girls" are just going to enjoy choosing just the right color for the day. And maybe even learn how to make their own when they get a bit older. These are a lot more useful than I expected. Great video-- as a visual learner I don't even need a pattern after watching. Nice job, Connie. Thanks for sharing.

This is cute and easy. I love using cotton crochet yarns in the variegated colors. I can make these for my adult daughter to wear to work in colors close to her haircolor for a more professional look while still toning down the femine look. And she can wear the pretty more femine or some of the wilder colors when she is away from work. And the flower idea is great. I like to crochet hats for charity and this would would be a great addition for the girls and womens hats.

I use ponytail holders to hold up my sleeves up when I am washing dishes. Now I can crochet this pattern on them and make my sleeve holders more cuter. Thanks!
