(Rein)deer Skulls
Materials:
White yarn (I used Sugar ‘n Creme)
Size H hook (or whatever needed for yarn)
Gauge: not necessary for this project
Stitch Explanation:
Magic Circle: Wrap yarn around your middle finger, forming an “X.” Place your thumb over the “X.” Slide loop off the end of your middle finger, still pinching the “X” between your thumb and middle finger. Insert hook through the circle. Pull up a loop. Yarn over and draw through the loop on your hook (counts as chain for first sc)
sc2tog = single crochet 2 together: Insert hook into stitch and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next stitch and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.
dc2tog = double crochet 2 together: Yarn over (YO) hook, insert hook in stitch(st) , pull up a loop, 3 loops on hook. YO hook, pull through 2 loops. YO hook insert in next st, pull up a loop, 4 loops on hook. YO, pull through 2 loops, 3 loops on hook. YO pull through last 3 loops. One dc2tog made.
dtr = double triple crochet: Yarn over hook three times, then insert hook into next stitch. Yarn over hook and draw yarn through stitch - five loops on the hook. Loop yarn over hook and draw through two loops, (there are now four loops remaining on the hook), *yarn over hook and draw through two loops**, repeat * to ** twice more.

Top of Head:
Make a magic circle using instructions above
Row 1: (you DO NOT need to ch 1 if you use instructions above for magic circle) 8 sc in magic circle. Join in first sc. Pull tight.
Row 2: Ch 1, do not turn. 2 sc in same sc as joining and in each sc. Join in first sc (16 sc).
Row 3: Ch 1, do not turn. 1 sc in same st as joining, *2 sc in next st. 1 sc in next.* repeat from * to last sc. 2 sc in last st and join in first sc. (24 sc)
Row 4: Ch 1, do not turn. 1 sc in same st as joining. Sc in next st. *2 sc in next st. 1 sc in next two sts. Repeat from * to last sc. 2 sc in last st and join in first sc. (32 sc)
Row 5: Ch 1, do not turn. 1 sc in same st as joining. 1 sc in next two sts. *2 sc in next st. 1 sc in next 3 sts. Repeat from * to last sc. 2 sc in last st and join in first sc. (40 sc)
Row 6: Ch 1, turn. Sc in same sc as joining. Chain 4, skip 4 sc, sc in the next (eye socket formed). 2 sc in the next. Sc in next 4 sts. 2 sc in the next. Sc in next 4 sts. 2 sc in the next. 1 sc in the next. Chain 4, skip 4 sc, sc in the next (eye socket formed).
Row 7: Ch 1, turn. Sc in first sc. 4 sc in ch-4 space. Sc in next 2 sts. (2 sc in next st. Sc in next 5 sts) Twice. 2sc in next st. Sc in next st. 4 sc in ch-4 space. Sc in last st. Fasten off.
Snout:
Turn head upside down. Counting from first sc of eye socket on right, join in 4th st.
Row 1: Ch 2. YO, stick needle in next st. Draw up loop. Draw hook through 2 loops, then draw through last 2 loops (counts as dc2tog). Hdc in next 2 sts. Sc in next 3 sts. Hdc in next 2 sts. dc2tog. (9 sts).
Row 2: Ch 1, turn. sc2tog. Sc in next 5 sts. sc2tog (7 sts)
Row 3: Ch 1, turn. Sc across (7 sc)
Row 4: Ch 1, turn. sc2tog. Sc in next 3 sts. sc2tog (5 sts)
Row 5: Ch 1, turn. Sc across (5 sc)
Row 6: Ch 6, turn (counts as first dtr and ch-1 space). Skip 1 st. Dtr in next. Ch 1. Skip 1 st. Dtr in next (3 dtr, 2 ch-1 spaces). Fasten off.
Right Antler:
Turn right side up. With right side facing you, start with first sc of right eye. Join to 9th sc.
Row 1: Ch 1. Do not turn. Sc in same ch as joining and in next 3 sts. (4 sc)
Row 2: Ch 1, turn. sc2tog. Sc in next st. 2 sc in next st. (4 sts)
Row 3: Ch 1, turn. 2 sc in first st. Sc in next st. sc2tog last 2 sts. (4 sts).
Row 4: Ch 6, turn. sc in 2nd ch from hook and in next 4 chs. sc2tog. Sc in next st. 2 sc in last st. (9 sts)
Row 5: Repeat Row 3 (4 sts)
Row 6: Repeat Row 2 (4 sts)
Row 7: Repeat Row 3 (4 sts)
Row 8: Ch 4, turn. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in next 2 sts. sc2tog. Sc in next st. 2 sc in last st (7 sts)
Row 9: Ch 4, turn. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in next 2 sts. 2 sc in next st. Sc in next st. Slip st in next st. (6 scs) Fasten off.
Left Antler:
WRONG side facing you and counting from last sc of first row of Right Antler, join to 9th st.
Rows 1-9: Repeat instructions for Right Antler. Fasten off. Weave in ends or leave tail on snout for sewing if making a scarf.
To make scarf: Run tail from snout through tapestry needle. Sew to top of head of another deer going through each of the 5 stitches on each deer. (note: the antlers are loose so they will not stay straight if you make it into a scarf)
