Crochet Hugs & Kisses Crown Headband Pattern + Tutorial

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.
