Every Princess Needs Her Crown

by Corina on March 26, 2012

I went to visit my beautiful nieces at their fairytale castle. Only to realize the Swiper had swiped their royal princess crowns! But that is no problem a little yarn and a hook can’t fix. ;) You can also check out the crown pattern for your little kings and my new improved pattern for the princess crown  :)

Supplies:

Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver)
F/3.75MM Crochet Hook

Abbreviations:

CH – Chain
SC – Single Crochet
HDC – Half Double Crochet
DC – Double Crochet
PS – Puff Stitch

Get Started!

CH 76(for toddler) or CH 80 (for child size), slip stitch to first chain (make sure chain is not twisted)

CH 1, SC around, Connect to CH 1

CH 2, HDC around, Connect to top of CH 2

Slip stitch in next 24 (for toddler) or 26 stitches (for child), SC in next 4 stitches, HDC in next 5 stitches, DC in next 10 stitches, HDC in next 5 stitches, SC in next 4 stitches, turn,

skip stitch, 2 HDC in next stitch- CH 2- 2 HDC(all in one stitch), skip stitch, slip stitch

skip stitch, 2 DC in next stitch- CH 2- 2 DC(all in one stitch), skip stitch, slip stitch in next stitch, SC in next stitch

skip 2 stitches , 3 DC in next stitch- CH 2- 3 DC(all in one stitch), skip 2 stitches , SC in next stitch, slip stitch

skip stitch, 2 DC in next stitch- CH 2- 2 DC(all in one stitch), skip stitch, slip stitch

skip stitch, 2 HDC in next stitch- CH 2- 2 HDC(all in one stitch), skip stitch, slip stitch in next 2 stitches

Turn, slip stitch in back across to the back of the crown but when you reach every CH 2 space on the top of each point you ~Slip stitch in Ch 2 space, CH 2, PS, Ch 2, Slip stitch in same CH 2 space~ (To do the puff stitch you need to yarn over, put hook in stitch, yarn over, pull through, repeat two more times, pulling yarn through a total of 7 hoops)

Finish off.

I really like that crown pattern. I have seen several other places and I think your is my favorite…Good work and thanks for sharing it with us who can’t make our own patterns..Having to buy patterns get expensive quick…factor in all the other stuff you have to buy to crochet and it is not a cheap hobby…love your page and I am trying to help get the word out about your page…God bless you…

Thank you! Yes patterns get expensive quick! And then you have to hope it turns out right or its a waste of money. That’s one of the main reasons I have started this blog. :) I am glad you like it!!

Hi! I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your pattern! It’s very easy, I whipped up three crowns today with some leftover yarn! You can see it here: http://ellenscreativepassage.blogspot.com/2012/04/every-princess-needs-crown.html
Thanks, Ellen

Wow! I love it! Much more durable than some other crowns my daughter has. I just learned to crochet and am slowly getting better, so maybe some day I’ll try this pattern! Thanks!

I’d love a printer friendly version of this. I’m going to attempt to make some for a toy donation drive. Thanks for the free pattern.

My sister is having a frog prince baby shower. Any chance you could tell me how to adjust the pattern for a newborn/infant? I am VERY new to this hobby. Thank you!

I will work on this after I am finished with my current project. When is the baby shower?

Hi I just made the crown adn love it, but is there a way to make it stiffer?

You could try using a smaller hook, modifying the pattern for two stands of yarn, or starching it?

I would love to make this…..however, I cannot seem to get it to print. Ideas?

Hmm, If the “print” option doesn’t work, have you tried hitting “Ctrl P” And maybe select “print options” to choose what pages to print? Sorry for the inconvenience.
