Materials Needed

• Hook: 3.5 mm (E/4)

• Yarn: DK/8ply. I used Knitwise Pricewise Hero, from The Warehouse.

• Size: to fit toddler/small child with head circumference 50cm (20″) approx – my daughter is 3 and a half.

Instructions

Step 1: ch 84, join with sl st making sure you don’t twist the chain.

Step 2: R1. ch1, sc in same st, sc around, join with sl st

Step 3: R2. ch1, sc in same st, sc around, join with sl st

Step 4: R3. v-stitch (hdc, ch2, hdc) in joining st and every 3rd st around, join [the first v-stitch will be ch4, hdc]

Step 5: R4.

Option One

Shell (3dc, ch2, sl st in 1st ch, 3dc) in first v-stitch, sc in next v-stitch, repeat around, join [the first shell will be ch4, sl st in 3rd ch, 3dc]

Option Two

Shell 6dc in first v-stitch, sc in next v-stitch, repeat around, join [the first shell will be ch2, 5dc].

Step 6: R5. If you did the 2nd option in R4, then ch1, sc in same st, sc around (in the tops of stitches of each shell) and sl st into the sc’s of the previous row. If you chose the first option in R4, then omit this row.

Step 7: Join. Fasten off.

Step 8: If you would like to make the 3 middle crown points stand out from the rest, then work as follows:

Creating the Centre Point

6dc in v-stitch, sl st into sc, ch1, turn, sc back over top of shell, sl st in sc, ch1, turn, sc in first 3 sts, picot (ch 4, sl st in 2nd ch, ch1), sc in final 3 sts, sl st in sc. You can modify this in so many different ways. The idea is to make this crown point the largest one so you can tell where the front of the crown is.

Step 9: Work the larger centre point picot (ch 4, sl st in 2nd ch, ch1) in the middle of the shells of the 2 points to the left and right of the centre point.

Enjoy!
