Auntie Nat's Crochet (Free Crochet Pattern)

 For this headband, you will need some cotton yarn and a plain metal headband. I used a 3 mm hook but you can use a 4 mm or a 3.5 mm hook. The headband, start by making a magic ring and 5 single crochet into the ring. Then 5 single crochet all around, make several rows until it can cover the whole metal headband. I used a marker on each row to make sure I do have 5 single crochet in each row. Once it is long enough, insert the metal headband into the crochet headband, cut the yarn and use a needle to sew it shut. As for the horns, start with a magic ring and 5 single crochet into ring. Make about 10 to 12 rows of single crochet all around, just like the above but I didn't use a marker this time and some rows I skip a stitch. This way the horn will turn out a bit crooked. Make a long horn and a shorter one and sew the shorter one to the side of the long one. Leave a long tail on the horn to sew it on the headband.  The ears, make 2 different color ear and later joint them toget...
