Crochet Flower Girl Crown
Crochet Flower Girl Crown is for my little doll who will be turning 3 years old in a week. I've gone out and got her some new clothes and a baby alive doll. She is the most caring little girl, she takes such good care of her dolls like they are real children, except when she throws them out of her bed in the middle of the night. haha
I wanted to make something crocheted for her and have of course left it down to the last minute to do so. The idea came to me last night when I was picking out colours of yarn to use for my next video tutorial. I was picking out colours to film my Crochet Flower Bud Headband pattern when I got the idea that I could implement the headband into a Crochet Flower Girl Crown.

(16, 20 pop-sts)

If your beads are facing inside your crown you can roll them out and up to bring them to the front of your work. (8, 12 peaks)
"Grab a bead pulling it up snug to your work"
Using a yarn needle I took a strand of yarn and sewed around from the inside coming out in the center of the buds to pull them into the crown.

July 21, 2014 at 1:23 PMLove it! Thank you for the pattern. How many chains would I start with if I was making it for a 1 year old?
DearestDebi says
July 21, 2014 at 9:12 PMI included how many stitches per inch, you’d need to find out how many inches the 1 year olds head is.

September 11, 2014 at 9:42 PMI’m new to crocheting and I love this pattern. Is it ok if I make them and sell them?
DearestDebi says
September 12, 2014 at 8:18 AMAt the bottom of my blog I have my policy (and it’s also included on all my patterns). I do allow people make and sell their own finished pieces. ~Happy Hooking~

December 29, 2014 at 1:43 AMThis is the MOST FUN I’VE HAD SO FAR! I started learning how to read patterns recently and this was an absolute blast. your directions are wonderful, well thought out, communicated beautifully – thank you – you should read some of the stuff I’ve had to stumble through, and some I had paid for. I bow down to thee o Great Crochet Mother of the Universe. lol
So happy, I’m making two for my granddaughter’s right now. I can’t wait to see what else you’ve dreamed up. No one has free things, so thank you so much for sharing. I’ll give credit to you in anything I publish of my work or if I ever sell. Yes, I’ll post a picture too.
Should I credit you as Great Mother, or DearestDebi.com? :0)
