Lead the herd in a pair of amigurumi antlers! Worked around a plastic headband, they’re as comfortable as they are hilarious.
NOTES
Reindeer Antlers are made in 2 parts, which are sewn together. The Covers are worked first; Antlers and Branches are added afterwards.
Parts of the pattern are worked using the amigurumi method. Work stitches continuously in a spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. It may help to use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round, moving it up as you work.
