{this next week i'm blogging everything Santa Lucia}
i think it was a couple of years ago that i saw this Santa Lucia Crown pattern in Handknit Holidays & this was the year that i decided to knit it ~ here's the ravelry link
it was easy to knit & only uses small amounts of yarn, so you can use up some of your stash yarn, but there were about 50 pieces that had to be sewn on, so just be prepared to weave in a lot of ends :)
