Looking for an easy crochet horn pattern to add to a hat, costume, or fun handmade project?

This simple crochet horn is worked in the round using basic single crochet stitches and gradual shaping to create a curved, dimensional design.

The pattern includes baby, toddler/child, and adult sizes, so you can easily make a horn to fit just about any project.

Once finished, simply add a little stuffing and sew it securely onto your hat or costume.

You’ll only need medium (size 4) worsted weight yarn, a size H (5.00 mm) crochet hook, a tapestry needle, stuffing, and a stitch marker to get started.

It’s a quick, fun project that works especially well for Halloween hats, dress-up accessories, and whimsical crochet designs.
