Crochet Reindeer Ears Headband Pattern
Materials Needed:
- Super fine cotton yarn in brown and beige
- 2.5mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Needle
- Plastic headband (1cm width)
- Stuffing for the antlers
Pattern:
Headband Cover:
- Start with brown yarn.
- Make a magic ring and crochet 4 single crochets (sc) inside the ring.
- Close the ring and increase in each stitch around by making 2 double crochets (dc) in each stitch for a total of 8 stitches.
Continue adding 1 sc in each stitch around until you have a piece long enough to cover the headband.
- Insert the headband and close it with four decreases. Remove the headband if needed to continue adding length, then reinsert and close.
- Cut the yarn, and with a needle, weave in the end to close the hole.
Ears (Make 2):
Make a magic ring with brown yarn.
- Crochet 4 sc in the ring and increase in the same pattern explained above, gradually increasing the number of sc between each increase by one on each subsequent round.
- Continue increasing every other stitch until round 8, where you should have 24 stitches.
- Crochet 24 sc for rounds 9 through 13 without increasing.
Decrease by doing two sc and then a sc decrease (sc two together) around for round 14.
- For rounds 15-16, crochet 18 sc around without decreasing.
- For the final round (round 17), do one sc and one decrease (sc two together) around until you have 12 stitches left. Slip stitch, cut the yarn leaving a long tail for sewing, and bind off.
Antlers (Make 2):
Make a magic ring with beige yarn.
- Crochet 5 sc in the ring and increase to 10 sc.
- For the next few rounds, keep crocheting 10 sc—this will create one section of the antler.
- Create a second, longer section by repeating the steps above but continue for more rounds than the first section.
Join the two sections with a slip stitch and continue crocheting around both parts to form the base of the antler.
Start decreasing to shape the antler, adding stuffing as you go.
- Continue decreasing until you have 8 stitches left for the final round, crochet 8 sc around.
- Cut the yarn leaving a long tail for sewing, and bind off. Stuff the antler fully.
Assembly:
- Sew the ears and antlers to the covered headband with the yarn tails, making sure to position them correctly with the antlers on the reverse sides.
- Weave in any remaining ends.
Final Touches:
- Check the positioning of the ears and antlers for symmetry and secure them firmly to the headband.
- Adjust the stuffing as needed for the antlers to give them the right shape.
