L's birthday crown

I finished L's birthday crown last weekend and managed to snap a quick picture. She hates wearing hats, so getting any photo was definitely a challenge!
The crown came out a little bit too short after felting, so I stretched it while it was drying. My original plan was to use velcro to fasten the ends together. I wound up using two pieces of 1/2" elastic instead, although I sewed them on so that the crown is now a bit too big for her! It fits E quite nicely, though, so maybe he can use it for his birthday, too. (Although he says he wants a blue one.)

FO (almost!)

I finished knitting L's birthday crown last night; I am felting it as I type this morning. The pattern is the Felted Halloween Crown from Lion Brand. It was super easy, since it was completely in garter stitch and only required a single increase or decrease per row. I made the smallest size, which I'm hoping will fit L for her first birthday in a couple of weeks. I'm being a bit risky in the felting; I just threw it in with a pair of jeans, and set the washer for a quick, hot wash. I have a front loader, so pulling it out to check in the felting progress isn't an option.
