Crochet Fox and Wolf Ears Patterns


 Crochet Fox Costume Ears Pattern
$1.50 on Ravelry.com



Crochet Wolf Costume Ears Pattern
$1.50 on Ravelry.com


Realistic looking wolf costume ears made with crochet. Making this pattern in super bulky weight rather than regular bulky weight results in a sturdier, and more fluff-able, pair of ears.

To get the realistic furry look, I just lightly brushed my yarn after finishing my pieces using a hair brush. But if you prefer the fuzzy look of Homespun un-brushed, you don’t have to brush your yarn, you can just leave it as-is.

I couldn’t find a Homespun Thick & Quick in a shade I liked for the black part, but if you prefer you can use a different type of bulky weight yarn than homespun, such as Wool Ease Thick & Quick. It will work the same, it just won’t have that fuzzy look un-brushed. You could just brush the yarn, however. 
Or you could just use 2 strands of regular bulky Homespun at the same time for the bulky grey/brown, and black parts if you want that homespun look (which is what I did).

Realistic Crochet Skull Mask Pattern




Realistic skull mask made out of crochet. Pattern is available for $7.00 on Ravelry.com
buy now

Pattern has photos, and there is a video tutorial. 
I’ve made several sizes using different sized hooks, and yarns. The smallest size (which came to about 20 inches around,) was made using a “B” hook and worsted weight yarn. 
The 2 middle size (which came to about 21 and 22 inches) were made using a “B” and “D” hook and Aran weight yarn. 
The largest size (which came to about 23 inches) was made using an “E” hook and Aran weight yarn. 
I used 2 different colors of Aran or worsted weight yarns (black and white). I only used about half a skein of white yarn, and used some scraps of black yarn, because it didn’t require much black. I used between 100 and 160 yards of wht (depending on the size) and between 20 and 40 yards of black.The Aran brand I used was Red Heart brand, and the worsted weight I used was Caron Simply Soft, because I had it on hand, but if you prefer a different brand you could use any. 
The last part of the pattern is a bit complex but there is a video tutorial you can watch to help with some of the more tricky bits. Find that tutorial here:
