🔺 Crown Spikes
Work directly into the open top edge.
(sc 3, ch 4, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 2 ch, sl st into same base stitch) repeat around.
This creates taller, more defined spikes that resemble blocky crown points.

After completing all spikes:
-
Thread yarn tail onto needle.
-
Insert needle through the inner loops just below spike bases.
-
Pull tightly to gather closed.
-
Secure firmly and weave inside.
The spikes remain upright while the center closes flat beneath them.
