Antler 

I have provided a step by step with pictures in order to complete the antlers. A big paragraph of explanations did not sit well with me, so I hope the pictures are helpful to you!

The antler is started with a foundation single crochet. When starting a foundation single crochet, two chains are necessary to start.


In place of the two chains, we will be using the two stitches to the left of the ear. Attach yarn to the space just to the left of the ear. Insert your hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop so there are two loops on your hook.

Yarn over, pull through only one loop.

Yarn over, pull through both loops. This counts as one foundation single crochet.

Work 6 more foundation single crochets for a total of 7 foundation single crochets.

Chain 1 and turn your work so you work on the side that has double loops on the top. This is the main portion of the antler. Slip stitch 3 times.

Chain 4, slip stitch back down the chain including the space on the main antler. This makes one point.

Slip stitch down the main antler 2 times.

Chain 4, slip stitch back down the chain including onto the main antler for another point. Slip stitch down the main antler back to the head. Slip stitch in the space on the head as well. Fasten off.

Turn your work around. This is what your antler should look like so far. Attach yarn to the second space above the head on the opposite side of where you made the two points.

Chain 5, slip stitch back to main antler.

Fasten off and leave tail for sewing antler onto granny square.
