Knit Crown

This pattern is a quick and rewarding knit project. Crowns can foster imaginative play and are lovely to wear. Whether they are imagining they are royalty, posing while they blow out birthday candles, or wearing it all day on their birthday, this crown is stretchy and comfy. But so comfy and stretchy it can be an all day every day play piece! The suggested yarn is machine washable. And play is encouraged! Please share a finished picture of your crown on Instagram or on a Ravelry project page so I can see your beautiful finished creation in action!

These are both explained in the Special Techniques section, but these videos will hopefully help if you have not done these stitches before.
