When little ones are on the way, it’s time to take out yarn and needles and make a few wee gifties. These Crùnan were born out of frustration after multiple false starts using other author’s patterns, as well as not being able to find a sea-themed one for a special friend. These can be crocheted up easily in an evening and offer infinite embellishment possibilities to match any gender and/or nursery decor.

Pattern includes 3 designs — Sea Fairy Crown, Ocean Waves Crown, and Royal Crown

Instructions are given for newborn size (13” brow circumference that stretches to approx 15.25”). Notes are offered for making longer/larger sizes in pattern.
