I will show you one of the techniques how to crochet with fluffy yarn. You will need to use cotton yarn of similar colour.

Work with cotton yarn alone (Yarnart  jeans)

Ch 9.

1. Starting from 2nd ch from hook, work 50 sc, ch, turn

From Round 2 join in your fluffy yarn (Yarnart  mink).

From Round 2 join in your fluffy yarn (Yarnart  mink). Work with cotton yarn alone. Fluffy yarn stays behind the work at all times in line with the direction of your crochet. Press it tight with your index finger to keep in place. With cotton yarn hook though the stitch of Round 1 and wrap it around your fluffy yarn, pull it back through the loop and finish your sc off. See the pictures for guidance. Continue all the following sc using this technique. Thus you will get a ‘bald’ part on one side and fluffy on the reverse side.

2 – 17. 50 sc, ch, turn

Bind off. Leave a small piece of thread for further sewing.

This technique allows you to minimize consumption of fluffy yarn and see the loops better.

The width of my headband is 2 cm. Please make sure that your resulting piece fits your headband.

Horns

Create a frame for the horns from the wire. So far only for one side.

1. 6 sc in a Magic Ring

2. 6 inc = 12

3 – 16. 12 sc

17. 2 sc, 4 ch, skip 4 loops, 6 sc = 12

Pay attention to the resulting hole to fit your wireframe.

18 – 24. 12 sc

25. 2 sc, 4 ch, skip 4 loops, 6 sc = 12

26 – 29. 12 sc

30. 2 sc, 4 ch, skip 4 loops, 6 sc = 12

31 – 45. 12 sc

Bind off. Leave a small piece of thread for further sewing.

Now we are working with the wireframe.

Pass one part of the folded horns frame through the base part. After 7 - 8 cm, we bring the wire through from the base to the top for the second part of the frame. Create the second part of the horns and thread the end of the wire back into the base part. See the photo.

Secure the wire to the headband . Secure the ends of the wire with adhesive tape.

Sew the edges of the part.

We return to the horns.

Put on the resulting part on the frame. Sew to the base.

Crochet the remaining parts of the horns. Focus on your wireframe. These parts should fit your wireframe.
