I was working on an order recently for a gold princess crown, and my nephew was watching me. He asked me to make a crown for him. Obviously I could not say no. The pattern for the princess crown that I was using is a little too feminine for him. So I whipped up a pattern that night. And then my son saw it, so I had to make another one. I decided I might as well write it down here to share with you.
Materials
- I hook (5.5mm)
- Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Caron Simply Soft)
