Royal Fun Crochet Princess Crown Pattern for Kids
Uses
-
Create a princess crown or headband for dress-up, holidays, or costumes.
-
The base section (before the lace points) can be used as a simple, thick headband or turban.
Materials
Yarn Thick, dense yarn (like Caucasian Troika/Dvoyka in the original video). If using thin yarn, use multiple strands (double or triple) to achieve the necessary thickness for rigidity.
Colors Two contrasting colors (e.g., a dark color for the base/texture and a light color for stripes/lace).
Hook Size to match your thick yarn (the tutor used a 3.5 mm hook).
Optional Beads for decoration, sewing needle and thread for beading, wire (from an electrical cord) to insert into the base for maximum rigidity, and extra yarn for a decorative braided tie.
Special Features
-
Self-Supporting Structure: The design and yarn choice prioritize a stiff fabric, minimizing the need for starching.
-
Simple Color Blocking: Uses contrasting colors to easily create stripes and highlight the decorative pattern.
-
Elongated DC Texture: Features a unique row of elongated double crochet stitches that dip into the foundation rows, creating a defined V-shape pattern.
-
Customizable Edges: The crown can be finished with a braided tie attached at the sides and embellished with beads on the band and points.
Level of Difficulty
This pattern is Intermediate. You must manage color changes, maintain a consistent and tight tension, and execute a patterned row involving elongated stitches that reach down into previous rows, followed by a specific lace border pattern.
Tutor's Suggestions
-
Prioritize Thickness: Use yarn that is already thick, or hold two to three strands together, so the crown naturally stands up.
-
Stitch Tightly: Work the single crochet (SC) rows, especially the base, with tight tension (туго) to create a firm, dense foundation.
-
Pre-Planning: If you plan to add the decorative braided ties and beads, attach the braided ties first. Beading after the ties are attached is much easier.
-
Finishing Alternatives: If the crown fabric is still too soft, you can slightly starch it, or glue the bottom band onto a piece of firm cardboard for a very stable edge.
-
Headband Option: If you stop after the solid rows and before the lace points (after the white SC row following the textured dark row), you will have a wide, textured headband.

Tip
When working the lacy top points (Part 5), remember to insert your hook into the base of the DC stitch of the previous row when creating the elongated DC stitches. This is a crucial detail that ensures the points stand tall and stable, rather than collapsing like normal crochet points.
