STITCH EXPLANATIONS:

FPdc (Front Post double crochet) Yarn over, insert hook from front to back then to front, going around post of indicated st, draw up a loop, (yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook) twice. Skip top of st behind the FPdc.
picot Ch 3, sl st in 3rd ch from hook.
WC (Waistcoat Stitch) Insert hook between the "legs" of the next st, yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through both loops on hook.
Notes:
A waistcoat stitch is worked like a single crochet EXCEPT that the hook is inserted between the "legs" of the next sc instead of under the top 2 loops.
The "legs" of a single crochet are the two leaning vertical strands that form a "V" on the front of the st.
NOTES:
Each Crown is worked in one piece in rnds from lower edge upwards.
One ball of yarn is sufficient to make both Crowns.
CROWN I:
Ch 55.
Rnd 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across; join with sl st in first sc - you will have 54 sc in this rnd.
Rnd 2: Ch 1, sl st in each st around; join with sl st in first sl st.
Rnd 3: Ch 1, working behind sl sts of Rnd 2 and into sts of Rnd 1, sc in each st around; do not join, work in continuous rnds (spiral).
Place a marker in last sc just made to indicate end of rnd. Move marker up as each rnd is completed.
Rnds 4-8: WC in each st around.
Rnd 9: Sl st in each st around; join with sl st in first sl st.
Remove end of rnd marker.
