Finish the heart with an invisible join, cut yarn and leave a tail for sewing. Make two of them and sew them inside the ears.

The antlers (x 4)

Note: finish each row with a ch 1 then turn.

Cut yarn and weave in ends.

Join the yarn back to row 5 in the sl st, then continue working the next row in the next 2 stitches.

R6: sc dec (1)

Cut yarn and fasten off, weave in the ends.

Make a total of 4 this way, then we will crochet 2 together (2 times) by working through the edges to make the outlines.

For the right antler start on the bottom right side and go this way: 7 sc, sc inc x 2 in the rounded top part, ch 1 then sl st in the previous sl st, ch 1 then on the next rounded part: sc inc x 2, ch 1, sl st back to the middle, 2 sc, ch 1, 2 sc on the bottom (in the 2 loops from the chain base) ch 1 sl st back to the 1st sc of the beginning. Cut yarn and leave a tail for sewing.

For the left antler, make 2 sides again like we previously did and join them together by following the opposite outline we did for the right side. I’ll be showing how to make the left side on my video tutorial, link will be below.

Now the only left thing to do is to sew the ears and the antlers on the headband.
