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!
