Instructions

Get ready to crochet your festive crown! We’ll start by making each individual element before assembling them onto a headband.

Large Poinsettia Flower (Make 3 Red, 2 Cream)

Inner Petals Layer:

Round 1: Start with a MR. Ch 1 (does not count as st). Work (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) into the MR, sl st to MR. This forms one petal.
Round 2: Repeat Round 1 four more times to create 5 petals total. Sl st into the first sc. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Outer Petals Layer:

Round 1: Start with a MR. Ch 1 (does not count as st). Work (sc, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc, sc) into the MR, sl st to MR. This forms one larger petal.
Round 2: Repeat Round 1 four more times to create 5 petals total. Sl st into the first sc. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Flower Assembly:

Place the smaller inner petal layer on top of the larger outer petal layer, aligning their centers.
Using the yarn needle, secure the layers together with a few stitches through the center.
Sew 5-7 small gold beads/pearls tightly in the very center of each assembled flower.

Sparkle Leaf (Make 8-10 Green, 4-6 Gold)

Row 1: Ch 8. Sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next 2 sts, dc in next 2 sts, hdc in next st, sc in last st. (7 sts made along one side of the chain)
Row 2: Ch 1, then work into the other side of the starting chain: sc in the same last st, hdc in next st, dc in next 2 sts, hdc in next 2 sts, sc in last st. Sl st to the first sc to join. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Small White Snowflake (Make 2-3)

Round 1: Ch 6, join with sl st to form a ring.
Round 2: Ch 1, 12 sc in ring, join with sl st to first sc. (12 sc)
Round 3: *Ch 3, sl st in 2nd ch from hook (picot made), ch 1, skip 1 sc, sl st in next sc.* Repeat from * to * 6 times total for 6 points. FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Optional: Lightly stiffen the snowflakes with fabric stiffener to help them hold their shape.

Crown Assembly

Now that you have all your beautiful crocheted elements, it’s time to bring your crown to life!

Lay out your plain flexible headband. Arrange the crocheted flowers, leaves, and snowflakes along the top of the headband to plan your design. Start with the main poinsettias as the focal points.
Using your yarn needle and matching yarn tails (or clear thread for discreet attachment), securely sew each element onto the headband. Make sure they are firmly attached so they don’t shift.
Weave in all remaining loose ends.
If using, strategically attach the small gold bells among the leaves or beneath a flower for a subtle jingle.
