Head:
Crocheted from front of head to back
Starting with Color A:
Ch 6
1. sc in 2nd chain from hook, 3 sc, inc3 in the last chain, working on the opposite side of the
chain: 3 sc, inc in the last chain= 12
*refer to pg. 15 for help with working on the opposite side of the chain*
2. inc, 3 sc, inc x 3, 3 sc, inc x 2= 18
3. sc, inc, 4 sc, inc, sc, inc, sc, inc, 4 sc, inc, sc, inc= 24
4. 2 sc, FLO: work 3 dc in the same st, Both loops: 3 sc, FLO: 3 dc in the same st, Both loops: 17
sc= 24 (the 3 dc worked in the front loop only stitches is not in the final total count)
Change to Color B:
5. (work 2 stitches in the back loops of the previous round, this created nostrils) 2 sc, inc, sc, inc,
sc, inc, 17 sc= 27
6. sc in each st around
7. 3 sc, inc, 2 sc, inc, 2 sc, inc, 17 sc= 30
8. sc in each st around
9. (2 sc, inc) x 6, 12 sc= 36
10. (3 sc, inc) x 6, 12 sc= 42
11-15. sc in each st around
Place eyes between rounds 9 and 10, leaving 10 holes between them. 1st eye is placed before
the 2nd increase. Count 10 holes after the first eye and place the 2nd eye. If you want the
sunken eye look, do not place the backs of the eyes on until round 19.
16. (5 sc, dec) x 6= 36
17. sc in each st around
18. (4 sc, dec) x 6= 30
19. (3 sc, dec) x 6= 24
Now for the eyes. Stuff the head well. Cut a long piece of yarn and remove the eyes. Place the
needle in the hole where the first eye was and insert the needle into a hole next to the eye
hole. Go back and forth between each eye hole repeating the process from the first eye. Pull
slightly on the yarn after going through each hole. Do this about 3 times on each side until you
reach the look you want. Follow the pictures for help. There is also a youtube video I have for
extra help on this process.

To place the backs of the eyes you will need to remove most of the stuffing to place the
washers on the eyes then re stuff it.
20. (2 sc, dec) x 6= 18
21. (sc, dec) x 6= 12
22. dec x 6= 6
F/O and sew the hole closed

Attach them to the top of the head in between the horns in a row.

 Helpful Tips:
Exact Colors Used:
1. Tan: I love this yarn Camel
2. Light Brown: Big Twist Camel
3. Dark Brown: I love this yarn Coffee
4. Tweed: I love this yarn Cream Tweed
5. Cream: I love this yarn Cream

You can use different eye sizes. You might have to adjust the placements if you change the
sizes.

You can use different hook sizes and weights of yarn. It will just change the size of your
longhorn and you might need to adjust eye and nose placement.

How you stuff matters! The type of stuffing you use, how you stuff, all this matters on how your
longhorn turns out. I prefer Polyfil stuffing but you can use other types.
