Pupu is the Finnish word for a bunny rabbit, and the scrunchie got its name after the tied bow that resembles the ears of a bunny. The Pupu scrunchie can be work with or without the bow, and it makes the perfect project for all your leftover mohair yarns!

Check out our blog post of this fun project.

MATERIAL:

Winter Blossom (50 gr/246-yds): 50% Organic Extra Fine Merino, 30% Mohair, 20% Silk

Note: The scrunchie uses a strand of fingering weight yarn held together with a strand of lace weight yarn, but they can be substituted for a single strand of DK weight yarn. If you wish to work a DK weight version, omit all the instructions where it says “hold the yarns together” and follow only the yarn amount requirements for the fingering weight yarn.
