long tail for attaching to hat, fasten off.

Small Point (make 2)

For the small points you want to leave your beginning thread (approximately 10 inches long) on
the outside of your work. To do this pull it through the magic ring before you tighten. We will use
this thread later to shape the antler. (see photos below)

Assembly:
Stuff small and large antlers with batting. I stuff mine generously so they hold shape when hat is
on child’s head.
Using a tapestry needle sew the small antler to the side of the large antler between rows 7-12.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Thread tapestry needle to the strand of yarn that come out of the top of the small antler. Weave the
thread on the top of the antler between every other row, working your way towards the big antler.
Gently pull the strand of yarn to pull the small antler into a crescent shape so it points more
vertical. Fasten off and weave in end. Repeat to other antler.
9
Attach antlers to the hat on each side on rows 3 and 4. Be sure to pay attention to the way the point
of your antlers are facing so they appear in uniform. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Using a tapestry needle sew the ears behind the antlers on row 4 and 5. I pull my stitches a little
tighter to help hold them up.
10
With the tail point facing down, sew the tail onto row 2 in the middle of the diaper cover back.
Fuzzy in ears and tail:

Use Lion Brian Homespun Deco.
Use H hook.
Using your crochet hook, pull a strand of yarn through the ear on the second row. Pull from back
to the front of the ear.
11
In the space next to the last pull a loop through
Tie the first strand and the loop together. I like to tie twice using a double knot.
Pull loops through the next two spaces. Tie the loops together.
12
Continue to pull and tie loops together working back and forth across each row until the top of the
ear.
Cut loops to a ½ to ¾ inch length. Rub your hand over the yarn several times to fluff the yarn and
blend it together.
Repeat for other ear and tail.
You can let the tail curl up to show the white fuzz. For the ears fold them in so they curl towards
the front of the hat.
