I had this odd idea to add horns to headbands. We are going to a Anime Comic Con this summer, so really I was thinking of an easy cosplay for myself.
So far I have come up with 4 different types. I haven’t got my daughter to pose with all the headbands.
Here’s me in my first set, before I finished them.
Here’s the first one finished. They were immediately annexed by my teenager.
Here’s your free pattern for the last set of horns. Enjoy. The others will be up eventually. Please use #drunkenauntwendy if you make them and post on Instagram.
Materials
Worsted Weight Yarn

I love this yarn – Neon Blue

SC – Single Crochet
CH- Chain

Note: Entire project is worked in the round. Use a stitch marker or a scrap piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each row. Then you don’t have to count every row. Do not join unless instructed to.
Parentheses indicate a repeat. Repeat the stitches in the parentheses for the number of times indicated.
The bracketed number [] is the number of stitches at the end of each row.
I spread my increases out so there isn’t a seam on the finished piece. If you do not like this method, you can do regular increases.

Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.
Thread tail through the last row and pull up tight to close. Using the tail, attach the horns to the headband with the horns pointing backwards. Use several straight stitches to secure the horns.
Happy Crocheting.
