Step-by-Step Pattern Instructions
Base of the Crown
- Foundation Row:
- Chain 7 stitches (ch 7).
- Row 1:
- Starting in the second chain from the hook, work 6 half double crochets (hdc) across.
- Row 2:
- Chain 1, turn your work.
- Work 6 hdc into the stitches from the previous row.
- Note: Insert your hook into the front half loop of both rows (top and bottom rows). This creates a subtle texture.
Top of the Crown
Step 1: Cluster Formation
- Chain 1 and turn.
- Skip the first stitch and work 3 double crochets (dc) into the next stitch, but finish them as one top:
- Yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch, pull through a loop, yarn over, and pull through 2 loops (leaving the last loop on your hook).
- Repeat for 2 more dc stitches to leave 4 loops on your hook.
- Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook to complete the cluster.
Step 2: Crown Points
- Chain 4 stitches (ch 4), then create a slip stitch (sl st) into the base of the cluster to form a point.
- Work single crochets (sc):
- Crochet 2 sc into the next stitch along the top.
- Work another sc into the next loop.
Step 3: Repeat Cluster and Points
- Repeat cluster with one top (3 dc) into the next stitch.
- Chain 4, create another sl st at the top of the cluster.
- Continue with 2 sc stitches and 1 sc stitch as described earlier.
- Repeat until you've formed three clusters/points in total.
Final Stitch
- Work a sl st into the remaining loop to close the row.
- Border: Crochet connecting slip stitches evenly along the bottom of the crown for a decorative border.
Finishing the Appliqué
- Weave in all loose ends with a tapestry needle.
- Cut off excess yarn.
