Knit Crown Pattern (for Kids and Adults!)

Knit crowns add fun and whimsy to any event. Wear them for birthdays, holidays, game nights and any celebration. I’ve noticed that kids are extra silly when wearing these crowns!

The celebration is a very quick knit and can be completed with just roughly 50 yards of worsted weight yarn.

Repeat the Increase and Decrease Rows a total of 7 times or until the crown fits snugly across the forehead. Then, cast off.

With the iron, steam block the points of the crown so that they lie flat.

With right sides together, seam the crown together using a backstitch seam.
