In crochet patterns, stitches are often abbreviated to save space. Here are the abbreviations you will come across in this pattern:

• ch - chain stitch
• sl st - slip stitch
• dc - double crochet
• tr - triple crochet
• sc - single crochet

Make sure to refer to the description for the complete list of abbreviations.

Making a slip knot

To begin crocheting the baby crown, start by making a slip knot. Cross the yarn like a circle, insert the hook, and wrap the yarn around the hook. Pull it through to create a loop. Continue to wrap the yarn around the hook and pull it through the loop to create your first chain.

Starting the first row

Now that you have made your first chain, yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook. This will create three chain stitches. The first three chains will serve as the foundation for your first row.

Crocheting the first row

To start crocheting the first row, yarn over and insert your hook into the next chain. Yarn over again and pull through, creating three loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through two loops, then yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops. This completes one double crochet stitch.

Continue crocheting one double crochet in every chain all the way across until you reach the end of row one. The total number of double crochet stitches should match the number of chains you made initially.

Continuing with double crochet stitches

For row two and subsequent rows, start by chaining five. Skip the first three double crochets and crochet one double crochet in the next stitch. Then, chain three and crochet another double crochet in the same stitch. This creates a V-stitch pattern.

Repeat this pattern of chaining two, skipping three double crochets, and crocheting one double crochet in the next stitch until you reach the end of the row. Slip stitch to the third chain of the starting chain five to join the round.

Completing the baby crown

Keep repeating the V-stitch pattern for each subsequent row until you have reached the desired length for the baby crown. Slip stitch to the first single crochet stitch to finish. You can then add a ribbon to the crown to make it more stylish and secure it in place.

Congratulations! You have successfully crocheted a baby crown. This pattern is perfect for babies and toddlers aged one to three years old. Continue exploring the world of crochet and create beautiful items for your loved ones.
