Dani and Bel: The royal plush seal`s crochet crown

A bit ago my daughter Isabel told me that her white plush seal absolutely needs a crown, because, when you come to think of it,- Isabel said - , the seal is not a simple seal but actually a royal seal.

So Isabel asked me to crochet a crown for her plush seal and, as a matter of course, I did what she asked me for. We chose turquoise yarn because it suits the seal best. It fits perfectly with her eyes. Doesn´t it ?

For all those, who have daughters with royal plushies in desperate need of a crown ;), here´s the pattern :

crochethook 1,25mm + wool needle
