Used AmyLu’s modifications. Made for 6 year old King D but I’m a little worried about size around. Will have to try it on him to see if I maybe need to add some stitches. Adorable! I love it! Need to make one for King H next :-) http://www.ravelry.com/projects/AmyLu/elegant-knit-crown

and as follows:

Important things to know:
How to do the cable cast on. https://www.anniescatalog.com/knit/content.html?content_i...
Centered Double Decrease http://www.twistcollective.com/collection/index.php/compo... (cdd) - in this pattern the cdd is worked with the knit stitch even on purl rows.

For a toddler/child size crown (this worked well for 2-1/2 year old Henry, slightly snug but wearable on 6 year old Dalton):

Cast on 126 stitches with the Cable Cast On. Join to knit in the round. Place marker.
