Crocheted Crown. Hook and thread for crown

Mastering the skills of crochet - an excellent opportunity for masters to fill the closets of their loved ones with warm clothes from really high-quality material, to make a variety in the interior of their house or to please the children with interesting accessories, such as a knitted crocheted crown. Hook, a minimum of yarn and a good design - that's what can turn a simple white baby dress into a dress of a princess or a snowflake.

No "and so come down"

To get a product that can compete with plastic and metal crowns, which are sold in stores, you should pay attention to the choice of yarn and decor. If you show insufficient effort, the resulting crown will be like "maid in samodelkin." This is unlikely to please a child who counted on a beautiful thing. In addition, any product connected with their own hands is always subjected to close scrutiny and criticism of others, which means that the crown crocheted must be stylish, accurate, proportional.

Yarn and tools

The best thing for Crochet Crochet is fine thin yarn. Optimum choice will be in favor of cotton, linen, viscose or polyamide. The thickness of the thread can not be less than 500 m / 100 grams, it is better to choose the yarn even thinner. Of course, knitting with such thin threads is not for the faint of heart, because everything will also have to comply with the high density of the polona (otherwise you can not avoid uneven stretched loops). The finished fabric should be dense and as stiff as possible so that a neat crown is obtained. The hook should be used thin, with a head size of 0.9-1.2 mm.

As for the color of yarn, it is better to use classic tones: from cold white, to pastel shades of blue, pink and purple. The use of beige yarn can negate all efforts, because it looks "dirty" next to clothes of a lighter color.

Additional decor

Gone are the days when the child's costume was considered beautiful, which was more "shiny" than the New Year tree, so do not puzzle and try to fit a knitted crown more decor. Crown crochet for girls, no doubt, can be decorated with embroidered decorative elements, suitable for stylistics and color. However, it is important to observe the measure and not overdo it. Sewn elements that can be an ornament for the crown:

• Beads and beads.
• Sequins.
• Rhinestones.
• Satin ribbons and cords.

Fine decoration is very convenient to sew between the loops of the canvas. Also for this purpose the pico is perfect, with which the last row of crowns is often decorated. Decorate the decor before the crown is impregnated with a fixing solution.

As an option of decoration, you can consider the use of yarn with lurex. The metal thread in the knitting yarn shines well and has a smart appearance, however it is necessary to use other sparkling elements with lurex carefully, there is a chance to overdo it.

Crown form

Crochet Crochet Crochet can be made in two versions:

1. Classical round.
2. Diadem in the form of a crescent.

Each of these species has its advantages and disadvantages. The first looks like a completed product, is easier to manufacture and opens up more possibilities for decorating. However, it is easy to make a mistake in calculating the circumference of the head and get a crown either too large or small.

Crown, crocheted in the form of a diadem, is attached to a metal or plastic hoop. Also, if the height of the decorative part of the crown is not high, you can do with simple bandages (as shown in the photo below).

Most likely, this model can serve only as an example, illustrating the general principle of knitting diadems, since the craftsman used a rather thick yarn.

Round crown

To make it, you need to measure the circumference of the child's head, for which a crown is knitted (hook and yarn should be prepared in advance). It should be noted that the decoration will be worn on the top of the head, therefore, this part of the head should be measured.

Various patterns of knitting the openwork fringes perfectly suit the pattern. They are abundantly offered by many publications devoted to crochet. However, to be sure of a successful result, you should link the sample. Thus, you can accurately calculate the size of the future crown and avoid such unpleasant consequences as:

• Incompatibility of the size of the rapport with the size of the product ("trimmed" rapports).
• Errors in the selection of yarn or hook.
• The incompleteness of the finished crown to the rest of the costume (the attached pattern can be attached to the dress and in time to change the pattern or yarn).

The round shape allows you to evenly distribute the decor around the entire diameter of the product, which will decorate the crown. Snowflakes, crochet them quite easily, knit separately from the canvas and then sewed. Or they can be hung on laces on the sides of the crown. The photo below shows examples of several very successful snowflake schemes.

Crochet Crown (crochet snowflakes give it a completely winter color) is suitable only for the celebration of the New Year, while the use of universal decor will expand the scope of use of the accessory.

Knitted diadem

When choosing this form for the manufacture of the crown, the volume of the head can not be measured. By the way, this model can be used repeatedly, even if the child has grown, or it can be given to friends having a baby, without worrying about the size of his head. In search of information on how to tie a Crown Crochet for a girl, it is easy to find a large number of tips and schemes. It is worth choosing the one with a look at which there are as few questions as possible. In this case, the work will be fun, and the result - positive.

The diagram below is rather complicated in execution, but with its successful implementation, a very beautiful crown will turn out to be effective. Hook is good in that it allows you to tie the canvas even of such a complex shape.

Shutdown

In order for a finished product to fully function, it must be processed with starch, PVA glue or gelatin. All these methods are equally effective, especially if you combine some of them.

Taking into account that the described procedures lead to dampness, it is necessary to prepare in advance an object on which the crown will dry (the hook and the specificity of the cloth associated with it can lead to shrinkage or deformation after drying). Many skilled workers say that for these purposes a glass bank is a great fit. Sometimes also use an inflated ball. Then the dried Crocheted Crochet Crochet will have the correct shape, will become really stiff and will not fail at the crucial moment.
