Working in rounds
Step 2: SC around. Repeat two more times. (making 3 rows)
Step 3: Slip stitch into next 24 stitches
Step 4: SC 22, TURN
Point 1: Skip one stitch, 2 HDC, CH 2, 2 HDC in same stitch, skip
stitch, slip stitch
Point 2: Skip one stitch, 2 HDC, CH 2, 2 HDC in same stitch, skip

Turn, slip stitch 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. When weaving in both ends, try to go the directions that will pull the starting and finishing stitches to be more level. (since we worked in rounds.)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This will be perfect! And so quickly too, can’t wait to go buy yarn in the morning. 🙂 Yay!
😀 You are very welcome! Its better than the larger princess crown. I love how the simply soft worked up.
Chain 70? this fits me…not 0-3 months…here’s hoping it shrinks up a bit as I keep going…
Are you using the right hook and same yarn I used?
Yup, i don’t know if they way I was holding it was stretching it or what, but the finished product was falling off my three year old. I’m making another one and just did about half the number of stitches…seems to be working 🙂
I agree I’m using the car in simply soft along with my size G hook and when I piece the two together it’s big enough to fit me and I’m a grown woman.
mine also turned out large,
I agree Simply Soft is a soft worsted weight (medium-4) yarn that USUALLY works out smaller. But this is still turning out way too big for a 0-3 month size. I wanted it bigger than 3 months anyway but not this big.
The pattern is still cute and at least she can grow into it! Thank you for making it a free option! :o)
Thanks so much for posting this pattern! I grabbed my yarn and hook and worked as I read. It took me 40 minutes start to finish. It’s absolutely adorable! Thanks so much!!
So I just tried this, 70 chs with the soft acrylic yarn using a 4.25 hook got me 16″, the average size of a 0-3 month old head is 13-14.5 inches.
15-16.5″ is 6-12 months
16-18″ for a 12-24 month old.
The crown is beautiful but the measurements seem much bigger than a 0-3 month old, 16″ plus stretching would fit a 12-24 month old.
Thank you for posting this pattern! I am going to be working with it to make several different sizes anyways. For a 0-3 month old I would chain to about 13″, with the stretch it should fit prefect!
I used simply soft… which works up smaller than the average acrylic.
After joining to first CH should we than CH1 before beginning to SC?
No, You will be working in continuous rounds 🙂
Love this tiara! Mine turned out exactly the right size. 0-3 months. I added jewels to it and did it in royal purple. I will definitely use this pattern again! Thank you!
I just came across this crown on Pinterest. Oh my!! I have 2 granddaughters, ages 5 and 6, who would DIE to have one!!! Can anyone figure out how to make it in that size??? I can crochet, but I cannot figure out stuff like that myself. I hope so much that you can….and will. I would love to make them these crowns for Christmas. Thank you…….Linda
Hi Linda! Here are some more sizes 🙂 http://stitch11.com/princess-crown/
Wow all of your patterns on the website are so awesome! We know so many people who are having newborns right now. I do believe I will be awfully busy! lol Thanks for sharing so many great ideas.
I made this tonight. I will try to post a picture on my ravelry tomorrow. I love the pattern. It is easy to follow and came out very nice. Thank you so much for this pattern 🙂
Is it okay that the ottomh of my crown flares out?? I have tried this patter twice now, and both times he bottom of the crown turns out to be much wider than the top part, if you know what I mean…..
Hmm.. If I were to make one now, I honestly would start with the FSC (foundation single crochet) that would make it so the CH doesnt make it tighter at the bottom.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your instructions were great! I added beads to mine for my great niece. I would add a picture for you, but there isn’t an option.
Thank you again!
I would love to see! If you are on Facebook, you can send me a photo there! 😀 Thanks for the comment!
Just wanted to say a big thank you for your gorgeous crown pattern, I’m a novice crocheted, but I managed to make one for my two week old granddaughter in under an hour. I have some photos, but I haven’t figured out how to add them to your page.
I feel TOTALLY stupid now. All I had to do was continue reading for the Puff Stitch. And it’s looking aDORable! Newbie royalty will love it — or at least her parents S will! Sorry. 😉
Follow the pattern I just used a 3.25 hook came out perfect in size
