Crochet Reindeer Antlers:

- With the cafe latte yarn, ch x6. Then in the second ch from the hook make a sl st. Make one more sl st in the next ch. Then ch x3. In the second ch from the hook make a sl st. Sl st again in the next stitch, then sl st back to the original ch you made. Sl st x2 and then fasten off the yarn. Leave a long tail for sewing.
Finishing:
- Sew the muzzle in between the eyes, and the antlers on opposite sides of the 3rd round.
- With separate yarn or ribbon, add a loop at the top in round 1 to make it an ornament.
