Crochet Coronet...



Messing around with some scrap yarn I had lying about and came out with this design. Not thinking much of it and would like a lot of criticism from people. What do you think? What could improve?

That's fascinating. How does it fasten in the back?

The center piece keeps going to the back of the head and connects with the three strands at the very last vertebrae of the neck...actually I should probably take a photo of that part. Thanks for asking! :)

Ah, so it doesn't tie at all, then? Handy.

I think it would look really neat done in a metallic yarn. Very medievel. :-D

It is very beautiful all on it's own!

The little "celtic" kids(who are all now in their 20's+) that I know, would buy it a lot faster if it had some sort of jewel that dangled from the very front of the piece.

The girls love these things made in a dark green or metallic thread/yarn with some beading on it.

I've made some with lots of shiny beading, not as detailed as yours, with ties in the back that curl down with many strands for some of my friends children to wear to the Renniseance faires and Celtic festivals. I've made two out of a ribbon yarn also...


Doesn't need a tie in the back...that's inspiring for me...

Did you use regular yarn/thread or mix it with an elastic so that it wouldn't stretch out?

PS. I'll send this blog post on to some of the young ladies that I know would wear this. :)
