This pattern will be text based, as I want to get this one out fast with the Platinum Jubilee impending!
You’ll need a super chunky yarn, requiring a 10mm crochet hook. However, you want to use an 8mm hook to make the crown stiff. You’ll also need scissors and a darning needle.
I’ve used Marriners super chunky.
This pattern uses US crochet terms.
The chain 2 at the beginning of each row is counted as a stitch, and the stitch at the base of it should not be worked.
Pattern
In blue: chain an amount that measures about an inch less than the circumference of the head. The chains need to be a multiple of 6. You’re better to go under the measurement of the head, than over.
Slip stitch into the first stitch to make a circle. Make sure this is not twisted.
Row 1
Chain 2, double crochet into each stitch, slip stitch to the first stitch to complete the round.
Row 2
Change to white yarn.
Chain 2, double crochet into each stitch, slip stitch to the first stitch to complete the round.
Row 3
Change to red yarn.
Chain 1, *half double crochet, skip 2, (double crochet, 2x treble crochet, chain 2, 2x treble crochet, double crochet) into the next stitch, skip 2*
Repeat between the asterisks/* for every group of six stitches. Slip stitch into the first stitch of the round to finish.
Finishing
Fasten off, sew in the tails and try it on!
