If you’ve ever wanted to make a fancy and striking crochet creation, Lotta Breyer’s Royal Crown pattern is just what you need. It’s perfect for adding a bit of royal style to a costume, setting up a photoshoot, or simply crafting a fun project for your kid.
Materials Needed to Make the Royal Crown
For this lovely crochet crown project, you’ll need light sport weight cotton or a cotton blend yarn, like Premier Yarns Cotton Fair. These yarns offer both softness and the right amount of structure, letting your crown keep its shape once it’s stiffened.
For extra sparkle, you can hold metallic embroidery thread along with your main yarn to give the crown a shiny look.
To give it a real royal feel, consider adding beads — clear or colored, whichever suits your taste. When your creation is finished, use a stiffening material like Mod Podge Stiffy, starch spray, or a homemade sugar solution to help it keep its form.
Use a 3.5 mm crochet hook for the pattern, but you can go slightly bigger or smaller for a different size.
Skill Level and Stitch Guide
The Royal Crown pattern is just right for those with some experience. It uses basic crochet techniques like chains, slip stitches, single crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet. These stitches combine to create the crown’s peaks and grand, royal shape.
The pattern works for a head circumference of 18 inches (46 cm ), but you can easily change it for different sizes. Adjust the pattern repeats or switch your hook and yarn size for a custom fit.
