Introduction

This is my first crochet pattern, so feedback is welcome, though admittedly, there isn't much to this one. I had made the Obama finger puppet from a Lion brand pattern, and when I saw that he won the American election last night (Nov. 4th, 2008), I thought I should make him a crown to celebrate his victory. I couldn't find a pattern for a mini crown online, so I made my own! Enjoy!

Materials List

Small amount of yellow worsted weight yarn (I used Stylecraft Special Double Knit in Sunshine.)
Size E-4 (3.50 mm) crochet hook
Tapestry needle

Finished Size

Approximately 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) in diameter, or the perfect size to fit around your Obama finger puppet's head!

Gauge

Gauge isn't particularly important for this project.

Notes

The Pattern

Ch 30, join with sl st to form a ring, making sure not to twist chain

Thank you! We too made the Obama finger puppet. We are so excited to have an incoming government that cares about Americans and other humans, and maybe even the planet we live on!

A crown for Obama...while the crown itself is neat, I'm sad anyone felt the need to commemorate the likes of that man.

About Chilana

About Me:

I picked up crochet during the winter of 2007 when I wanted to make myself some wrist warmers to wear while I play violin in cold places. My mom taught me all I needed to know and I found a pattern online. Then, in April of 2008, I graduated with my bachelors degree and had decided that I didn't want to work over the summer. In a bout of boredom and with an urge to create, I bought three crochet books off Amazon.ca and started crocheting like crazy. One of them was the Crochet Me book, and I thought the patterns were so fabulous that I'd join the site. And so here I am.

I'm currently working on my PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Toronto. Besides crochet, I enjoy drawing, web design, playing violin, and rocking out with my band, Doppelgänger Effekt, who unfortunately had to break up in August 2008.
