About
Beanies & Bobble Hats
Transform the child in your life into prince or princess with this cute knitted crown. I’ve gone down the traditional route and knitted mine a soft gold yarn—but choose any color you like. I’ve kept to a clean, simple look—as I thought the lacy stitch was quite fancy enough, but you want a burst of added bling, sew on a few sequins and gems, whatever you can find in your craft box.

1 x 5oz (142g) ball (81yd/74m) in shade
