How to Make a Princess Crown Cozy with Jewels

Introduction

In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a cute little princess crown cozy with jewels on top. This cozy is perfect for otter pops, ice pops, gogurts, or even adult freezer pops with alcohol. It's super easy and fast to make, and it will add a touch of royalty to your frozen treats.

Materials Needed

Before we dive into the tutorial, gather the following materials:

• Worsted weight yarn of your choice (e.g., Red Heart with Love Blue Hawaii)
• G hook
• Tapestry needle
• Small jewels (optional)

Now, let's get started on creating our delightful princess crown cozy.

Step 1: Making the Initial Chain

To begin, make a chain of nine using your G hook. Start with a slipknot, insert your hook, and pull the yarn through to create a chain. Once you have nine chains, you're ready to move on to the next step.

Step 2: Half Double Crochet Rounds

Working in rounds, perform half double crochet stitches along the chain. Start by half double crocheting in the second chain from the hook. Continue making half double crochets until you have a total of sixteen stitches. This completes the first round.

For the next eleven rounds, continue performing half double crochet stitches in each stitch, resulting in a total of sixteen stitches per round.

Step 3: Single Crochet Round

In this step, switch to single crochet stitches. Insert your hook into each stitch and perform a single crochet, resulting in sixteen single crochet stitches.

Step 4: Creating the Crown Points

To create the crown points, you'll be performing a series of stitches in one stitch and skipping the next stitch. This will give the cozy its unique crown shape.

Start by double crocheting into the next stitch. Yarn over, insert your hook, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and pull through all three loops to complete the double crochet. Next, chain two and perform a slip stitch into the second chain from your hook. Follow this with another double crochet in the same stitch. This creates the first crown point.

Repeat the same sequence – half double crochet, chain two, slip stitch, and half double crochet – in the next stitch. Slip stitch into the following stitch. Continue this process until you have completed all the crown points.

Step 5: Adding the Jewels

If you desire, you can add a touch of sparkle to your princess crown cozy by attaching small jewels. Using a hot glue gun or any suitable adhesive, secure the jewels onto the cozy. Be creative with their placement to achieve the desired visual effect.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully crafted your very own princess crown cozy with jewels. This cozy will add charm and whimsy to your frozen treats, making them fit for a princess. Get creative with different colors and decorations to personalize your cozies. Enjoy your treats in style!
