This tiara is the perfect shape for making a classic Wonder Woman headband. I have the exact color of Red Heart yarn, but for my purposes, I used the Caron One Pounder in Gold instead. The Caron tends to be a bit heavier than the Red Heart. I already had a red star appliqu from another project. Because I made this for an adult, I did have to add 10 additional chain stitches as well as adjust the slip stitches to make the point.

I may try to crochet a mermaid costume for my grand daughter. She really wants to have one. Found a pattern on Ravelry, I think.

Usually my Grand Kids tell me what they want, and of course I make a few extra. This year I'll add the crown, it may become a fav with the girls.
