Headband
Using violet, make single crochet stitches all along the headband to cover it. Crochet the stitches tightly and close to each other, so you won’t be able to see the headband under it. Weave in ends. If you like, you can cover the tips with a bit of grosgrain ribbon.
Assembly
- Sew the ends of the white tube together to form a ring. With a bit of black yarn, embroider tiny dots to the ermine band.
- Sew the velvet cap to the ermine band, using the remaining yellow yarn tail.
- Cross the golden arches over the velvet cap and sew the ends inside the golden band, so they Will remain hidden by them.
- Secure the cross where the golden arches meet to the velvet cap with a few stitches.
- Sew the Monde on top of the cross of the arches
- Sew the entire crown to the headband.
- Weave in all ends.
That's it!!! You are done!!!! Congratulations!
