Crochet Hugs & Kisses Crown Headband

Crochet crowns are trending right now.  One of our TCCSS members took my Hugs & Kisses Headband and turned it into a fun winter crown.  I have already seen a few others jumping on this latest bandwagon with great color combinations.  Use your imagination to change the colors of the popcorn stitches or add beads to Hugs & Kisses Crown Headband to dress it up.

Need more Crochet Crowns, we have 8 More Crochet Crown Patterns.

The crown addition to this easy pattern comes from Kim Conoly.  Thank you much for suggesting this.  I’m going to have fun wearing this one to upcoming parties.

When you upload your project to The Crochet Crowd Stitch Social Group or Instagram, feel free to tag me so I can see what you have crocheted.  Follow me on Instagram @ jeannestein or on Facebook.  My designs can also be saved in your Ravelry favorites by following me HERE.
