Scrunchies

The Goldy twins received scrunchies for Christmas that have been knitted.  They are very cute and I thought I might make a few.  They came from American Eagle....so it might be just as easy to purchase.  They are knitted as a tube with a hair rubber band inside and then seamed.  Actually I am thinking that the hair band needs to be inside from the very beginning....The gauge is 6 stitches to the inch knit loosely.  

You can see the seam if you look carefully at the white scrunchie.  The length is  and the tube is approximately 3 inches in diameter.  But that measurement would not be crucial.  Here is a photo that shows the seam better:

The tube measures 18 inches in length.  I had Kya stretch the scrunchie out as far as it would go and it measured 9 inches so the entire tube would be double that.
