I think we have some royalty in the family!
Doesn’t Miss KT4 looks too cute.?!
OK, it was a royal pain in the bum to do. I have been waiting to do this crown for awhile, but since you can’t get the Lion Brand Glitterspun Yarn in New Zealand, I put it off. But i was in Knit World yesterday, and saw this yarn, and it immediately made me think of the crown. It’s Jo Sharp Lumina, which is an 8 ply yarn, 62% viscose, 36% cotton and 2% polyester, and it has little tiny gold sequins strung on the yarn. I used a 3.75mm hook to crochet the yarn around some 26 gauge floral wire. I did 3 rounds of singles on the base, and 7 rounds of 7 chain segments, adding picots at the points of the seventh round.
I need to use some spray stiffner I think, as a couple of uses and it will be ruined. And then, maybe add some dangley jewels too.

WOW totally cool C!!!!!
That turned out crazy cool!!
What an amazing idea!!! I want to be a princess too 😉
That crown is awesome! My little girl would love something like that. A quick question – what do you use as spray stiffener? I was looking for something the other day but nowhere seems to have it here (UK). x
Hi Abigail — I ended up using a clear spray vanish. It’s stiffened the yarn really well and doesn’t seem to have made it too hard. I will add some combs to the bottom though, as it needs something to help it stay on. 😀
Thanks – I think I’m a it late for Maia’s birthday (in a week) but will definitely think about it for the future. x
