Materials:

• 1.7mm crochet hook
• Yarn in color of your choice

Instructions:

1. Starting with a slip knot, sl st attach to ponytail band, ch 1 pull tight.
    
2. Rnd 1: ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc 179 around the ponytail band, sl st join to first dc of rnd. (180 st)
    
3. Use stitch markers as you crochet this first rnd to keep track of how many you have done. I like to put one in the first st and then in every multiple of 30.  As you crochet this rnd, stop and push the stitches back.  When you have reached 90 st, push the stitches back and adjust them so they only take up half of the ponytail band. Continue to adjust them in this fashion until this rnd is done.
    
4. Rnd 2: sc in first st, ch 3, skip 2 st, (sc in next st, ch 3, skip 2 st) x 59, sl st join to first sc of rnd. (60 ch 3 spaces)
    
5. Rnd 3: sl st into first ch space, ch 1, sc into same ch space, ch 3, (sc into next ch space, ch 3) x 59, sl st join to first sc of rnd. (60 ch 3 spaces)
