Crochet Pattern: Keep Calm Crown Applique
By Amy Yarbrough – 14 Comments| There are lots of “Keep Calm and…” sayings going around about many different subjects. I was inspired by the crown and set out to make my own version. The first try was sketchy, so I made some changes. Initially I used thread, and it was straining on the eyes, but when I was finally satisfied, I tried it out in worsted weight and thought it looked a whole lot clearer. So try it in your favourite yarn and tell me what you think! |  |

fabu! Keep Calm and Crochet This Crown!
Ha ha! Exactly!
Really nice! Have you seen this crown that a local hospital gave out to the babies born on the same day as Prince George? http://www.ksat.com/news/local-sa-babies-share-birthday-with-royal-baby/-/478452/21122942/-/90fqygz/-/index.html
Hi Mary, that was an adorable thing for the hospital to do. Thanks for sharing!

How about adding a few jewels? Tastefully, of course.
I hadn’t thought of that, but it’s a great idea. Thanks!
Amy
I love this. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to make one for a Harry Potter (Ron Weasley) fan. “Weasley is our King!”
This version is much better, in my opinion. Can’t wait to make some. Love your site. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, loving this pattern, i’m a little confused on row 10 though. After the first time you sl sl in the 20ch space next to first 3-ch, it says ‘sl sl in next chain’, which chain?! Sorry, i’m usually more of a knitter than a crocheter, so i’m afraid it’s just that my crocheting instincts are a little rusty!
thanks for sharing this idea =)
Hi Jacey,
You are working along the ch-20 loop. So far you have been slip stitching along to the middle; you should have 9 sl sts. Then from that last sl st you chain 3. The two ch-3’s cover two chains, and there should be one chain in the middle where you make the cross, and then you will have the two ch-3’s on the left side taking up two chains. If you followed the instructions you should have enough stitches. But without seeing your project up close, I can’t tell you where you went wrong. Tell me if this helps. And good luck!
Amy
Got it! Thanks so much! Silly me 🙂
No problem. I’m glad I could help! 🙂
Thank you for the pattern. Can you explain the repeat on
Row 4? I am not doing something correct.
Hello Melody, you’re very welcome!
The row explains how to make crossed stitches with a gap of 1 stitch in the middle. Could you specify what kind of problem you are having?
