A crocheted crown can not only decorate the baby’s festive costume, but also bring her great pleasure on any everyday day. The openwork crown is interesting. Crochet scheme and job description will be offered in the article.
What yarn to use for knitting a crown
Despite the numerous recommendations that almost any thin thread is suitable for the crown, it should be clarified that the yarn should be very thin. Using the wrong material will result in a rather rough crown. A crochet pattern for an openwork border is often designed to use a thread with a thickness of about 550-600 m / 100 grams. Such material allows you to implement a large number of rapports, which gives the product a beautiful and rich appearance.
Of course, you can knit a narrow crown of several rows, but still a product from a thread of the specified thickness will be more accurate.
The composition of the yarn may include:
- Cotton.
- To viscose.
- Polyamide or microfiber.
Do not use acrylic, as it looks frankly cheap.
Types of crowns
The preference of the craftswoman and the purpose of the product directly affect what shape the crown will have. The crochet pattern usually has the form of an openwork strip. It is most convenient to use for this purpose a scheme of some border or strapping. You can choose any width and pattern.
If you liked the narrow border, the width of the crown can be given by knitting several even rows from the bottom.
Knit classic round items or tiaras attached to the hoop.
In any case, you get a very beautiful and original crocheted crown. Border patterns can be adapted for any kind of product. An important condition for the pattern becomes a wavy edge or the presence of sharp protrusions.
