My partner Peter is nuts over King Arthur and merlin. So I decided to make him a crown and drew inspiration from the native South Americans, as I love their Helmet hats.

Some bobbles and spikes form a diadem and post stitching makes it bulky and sorta butch. A pom pon reflects the bobbles to balence them, and functions as an orb.
