Knit Crown Pattern (for Kids and Adults!)
May contain affiliate links (what's this?)
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.

Watch the tutorial video above that walks you through how to knit the crowns.
Project Time: 1-1.5 hours
Materials:

With right sides together, seam the crown together using a backstitch seam.
Love love crown but making for seven year old. How many points do I need?
Sleep and stitch. What an amazing find while looking on the internet for how to knit. Finally a tutorial I can follow with great instructions and photos. Thankyou!
I downloaded your how to knit booklet about 6 months ago and have had great success with my cast on and off. Amazing. I refer to it often ’cause at the beginning of each new knit I tend to wrap the wool on the ball around my thumb, not the unattatched one. I am knitting a still incomplete blanket or various shapes including triangles. You gave me the confidence and skill to do this.
Again, thankyou!
