Queen of Hearts Crown

Queen of Hearts Crown was made yesterday, a Sunday afternoon project. I have been staring at this bright red Caron Simply Soft Yarn wondering what to make with it. I was browsing around online looking at shawl pattern and out of nowhere I got an idea.. a queen of hearts crown!

I've made the pattern in newborn sizing and have included instructions to increase the sizing. Can be made to any size! I also went looking in the basement through my craft supplies for some beads to add but I found none that would work with red. Beads are optional and the instructions are not included in the pattern but can be easily added in. If you need some help adding beads check out my Flower Girl Crown for more details.
