"Princess Crown"

"Princess Crown"

Introduction

A Fabulously Decorative "Crown" for your next Gala or Holiday Party! This beautiful hat works up wonderfully in any of the regular and/or metallic crochet threads, however you must use at least four balls in order to get the 4 ply thickness that will enable you to shape it. You can also use any of the 4 ply wools, (I love Red Heart brand for its shapability). Is that a word--LOL! I put each ball in separate bags to resist tangling—however a spool holder will work much better:) As a Born-Again Believer, I give all the Glory to God for His creative abilities in me; therefore I take no credit for this is His original design. I trust that you will enjoy crocheting this unique pattern as much as I did! And just think--how exciting it will be at your next glamorous gala or holiday party to walk into the room--and turn heads! I see it already in these rich metallic’s: silver, red, bronze, and gold with pretty organza ribbon! Please E-mail me if you experience any problems. indianprincess_777@yahoo.com.

Materials List

For this "Princess Crown" I used two balls of
regular mint green and two balls of gold matallic crochet thread.

You can use the colors of your choice.

Size J/10 6mm hook

Finished Size

Fits most size 22 inch heads snugly, however you may wish to stretch it a bit to fit more loosly by misting it with water--not too much--and gently hand shape. You may also use a larger sized needle for a 23 inch fit.

Gauge

Gauge is not imperative to this pattern, however, careful shaping is the most valuable thing to consider. If you crochet tightly, you may consider using a larger hook.

Notes

Mist the design lightly with water and twist the larger shells in an oblique. Gently pull the shells just above them into a peak in order to give it an appealing visual effect. The very top of the crown is to lay flatly on the head, gently stretch it into shape to lay flat.

Where Do You Crochet?

Categorized As:

Hi! I am so excited to begin blogging on CrochetMe and sharing my adventures in crochet with you. I have been crocheting for about 15 years, first teaching myself to crochet while sitting in my parent's living room. My mother is a very competent knitter, but she has never quite been able to wrap her brain around the freeform nature of crochet. Maybe one day I will be able to teach her. I keep trying. The infinite possibilities and infinite number of new things to try and learn that crochet provides has quickly become apparent to me, and I love searching for a new stitch or technique to try. I look for every opportunity to crochet and have found myself crocheting in a variety of interesting, and some might say unusual, locations. I have crocheted many times in moving vehicles, waiting rooms, bus stops, while walking from one room to another, and at a coalmine. Now I find that a fair bit of my crochet time is found at work. Yes, that is correct, at work. Interweave is a very special place to work. Like most companies we have our fair share of meetings, but our meeting may not look like the average conference. We have the requisite long table, projector, pads and paper, handouts, etc. But one look down that long table will reveal the difference. Bins of tiny, glittering seed beads, beautiful skeins of luscious fibers, knitting needles, and crochet hooks flash as many of those in attendance work on their latest project. I completed the Schoolmarm Vest from the Winter 2007 issue of Interweave Crochet while in company meetings.

My brain works better if I have something to keep my hands busy. Maybe that's why I taught myself to crochet. One thing is certain, whether sitting in a waiting room, at a bus stop, or in a meeting my hands will always have plenty to keep themselves busy. So, where do you crochet? I am looking forward to getting to know you, so please feel free to comment on my blogs or send me a message.
