This pattern is a quick and rewarding knit project. Crowns can foster imaginative play and are lovely to wear. Whether they are imagining they are royalty, posing while they blow out birthday candles, or wearing it all day on their birthday, this crown is stretchy and comfy. But so comfy and stretchy it can be an all day every day play piece! The suggested yarn is machine washable. And play is encouraged!

Please share a finished picture of your crown on Instagram or on a Ravelry project page so I can see your beautiful finished creation in action!

Enjoy the knit!

I have corrected an inconsistency (the lace chart was correct, and I updated the written directions to correspond)

Video tutorial links added to the pattern for the “Center Double Decrease” and the “Make Bobble” (3 stitch bobble). These are both explained in the Special Techniques section, but these videos will hopefully help if you have not done these stitches before.
