Britney, This crown actually would be PERFECT for a twelve year old. If you go to my photo album on my facebook fanpage you will see my 10 year old son in this exact crown. Both I and my husband can wear it too. Thats the great thing about yarn. it stretches really well.

I made this king crown last night…once I got the first row connected without twisting it….it was fast and easy. It fit perfect and my grandson loved it. He was King for his party. I also made one tonight for my older son to wear to football games – it will match his bow tie. Going to make the princess one for the granddaughter. Thanks so much!

I just made this for my son to celebrate his first day of preschool. I wrote up a short blog post about it and posted a couple of photos of him wearing it. It is a great pattern! He loves it! Thanks so much for sharing it :)

I would like to make this crown for a 0-3 month old using Red Heart soft baby steps. What hook size should I use and how long should my chain be?

Her 0-3 mos princess crown started with simply soft yarn and 70 chains.
