Old King Cole is a merry old soul and a merry old soul is he! King Cole has two crowns to wear: a coronet with yellow points, and an arched crown with a white brim. The king’s robe is finished with a single crochet border using a crochet hook, although you could add the trim using blanket stitch embroidery if you don’t crochet. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the king is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round), and the robe’s border is a crochet edging.
