The Free Crochet Pattern Fit for a Royal Princess

May 18, 2015 by AllFreeCrochet

Not matter how old, every child will feel like real royalty in this beautiful crocheted crown.  Many will say that this is the perfect free crochet pattern for dress-up time, but I know a few little girls who will want to wear it all the time, and there is not a thing wrong with that.  Every little one deserves to feel like a Royal Princess, even if there isn’t a special occasion.  This royal crochet crown pattern works up in a hurry, and the use of crochet thread with a shiny silver filament gives it a wonderful sparkle that will make it feel like the real thing!
