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.

HEAD – in Limelight
The head is made by doing an oval increase. Sometime it helps to mark where your increases are going to go with a spare piece of contrasting yarn. Just note that the first row is worked on both sides of the starting chain. The face is then embroidered on before you add the hair and stuff him.
Ch 8

Rounds 7-17: SC in each stitch for 11 rows [48 stitches per row].
Fasten off. Note: This flat edge is what is attached to the hair. Place the oval increase side at the bottom in order to see placing for eyes and embroidery.
Place safety eyes between rows 10-11 approximately 8 stitches apart. It helps to fold the head flat so you can make sure it is centered on the oval.
Embroider a grey scar over the right eye by making a diagonal straight stitch and crossing the stitch with small straight stitches.
Next to the left eye you will want to embroider a black scar in the same fashion but more upright.
Using red, embroider a small straight mouth centered between the eyes about 5 rows lower.
Make sure you tie all of these off inside the head to prevent unraveling later.

Here at Drunken Aunt Wendy Designs, I’ve been continuing my crochet microbes series. Below you will find a pattern for Mr. Sa. He’s MRSA under the microscope. He’s got a cape because he’s a superbug. I think I’m going to have to crochet an antibiotic in order to fight off all these diseases.
But before we get to your free pattern, lets check in on everything else I have been up to.
I finished my gingham plaid scarf. I went a little crazy on the color scheme settling on Lime Green and Blush.
This one I made with worsted weight acrylic yarn. I don’t think I will use the same kind of yarn in the warp as it was a touch sticky in the heddle. The next scarf will be purple silk made out of lace weight yarn. It should have amazing drape.
Last week I also found a bonus sweater. What is a bonus sweater? Well it is a completely knitted wool cable sweater that just needed the arms sewn on. Exactly how many projects do I have going that I forgot I knitted a sweater. I mean seriously.
It is made out of Wool of the Andes Yarn in Sapphire Heather from Knit Picks. I’m a big fan of this site. The yarn is very reasonable and makes sweater knitting significantly cheaper. The pattern is called the Central Park Hoodie. It is one of my favorite patterns. I have knitted it a couple of times. The end project is super cozy. I did go up a size on the arms as my biceps are huge. (knitting apparently beefs them up, lol).
Free Crochet Pattern
Now what you have all been waiting for. Here’s the crochet pattern for Mr. Sa, the MRSA superbug.

If you haven’t visited me before, the free patterns are not tested. Tested versions with lots of photos are available in my Etsy or Ravelry shops. If you make Mr. Sa, make sure to use #drunkenauntwendy so I can find it on social media. Don’t forget the other crocheted microbes, Anthrax and Mr. Sniffles.

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.

If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen Clint and Lydia Chlamydia. I’ve also done an Sperm and Ovum, Adam and Eve. Those two have magnets to facilitate their attraction.
There has also been MRSA. He’s a super virus, hence the cape.
Super MRSA
I like my cuddly microbes. There has already been Mr. Sniffles, the cold virus.
Meet Anthrax. He’s a biohazard with a malicious sense of humor.
Cute Biohazard
Remember the patterns on my blog aren’t tested. Let me know if there are problems. If you make Anthrax make sure you use #drunkenauntwendy so I can find it.
