do you remember this?
horn 1 – make a double ring with 5 sc
2 – m2, sc4
3 – sc1, m2, sc4
4 – sc1, m2 x2, sc2, sc2tog
5 – sc2, m2, sc5
6 – sc3, m2 x2, sc3, sc2tog (from now on the decreases will always cross the first stitch of the new/next round, don’t worry, just start the new round after the decrease like nothing happend)
7 – sc3, m2, sc6
8 – sc4, m2 x2, sc4, sc2tog
9 – sc4, m2, sc7
10 – sc5, m2 x2, sc5, sc2tog
11 – sc5, m2, sc8
12 – sc6, m2 x2, sc6, sc2tog
13 – sc6, m2, sc9
14 – sc7, m2 x2, sc7, sc2tog
15 – sc7, m2, sc10
16 – sc8, m2 x2, sc8, sc2tog
17 – sc8, m2, sc11
(with a 3,5 mm hook my horn was about 6,5 cm long, there is a rhythm after row 8 that you can easily recognize and that allows you to elongate and enlarge the horn as wide as you like)you might remember this beginning of a seahorse as well. I finally finished it, yay! pictures will follow in the next days.
2 – m2, sc4
3 – sc1, m2, sc4
4 – sc1, m2 x2, sc2, sc2tog
5 – sc2, m2, sc5
6 – sc3, m2 x2, sc3, sc2tog (from now on the decreases will always cross the first stitch of the new/next round, don’t worry, just start the new round after the decrease like nothing happend)

11 – sc5, m2, sc8
12 – sc6, m2 x2, sc6, sc2tog

I also started thinking about a new cardigan. I choose the blue silk/wool blend pictured here. I was first thinking about the golden yellow but prefer the blue now. It’s a single ply and winding it into a ball I immediately saw it’s not a good yarn to frog which means I cannot allow myself alot of trial and error with this cardigan. The issue is I only know that I want 3/4 sleeves and buttons. I want a back motif similar to Sylvie, but of course not Sylvie. And I have no idea about the cleavage – do I want one? a turtle neck? a low neckline? noooo idea!

before I forget, it would be cool to see what you make of the horn pattern, as I mentioned before I can imagine it in alot of different purposes like alien feet, bird beeks, tails?

Hi! Could you explain what m2 and x2 means? I get the sc and I am assuming the sc2tog means to decrease 2 together….any help would be great! I want to make viking hats for all the kids at my sons 4th birthday party themed “how to train a dragon!!”

yes i would want to know what that means as well.
diana prince June 28, 2010 at 2:55 pm
m2 = make two, so it’s an increase.
x2 = repeat two times
hope it helps =)
FräncisKay June 29, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Hey.
I tried to realize your pattern, but it just doesnt work as good for me. 🙁
in your picture the horn is nice and straight. but mine as a twist. it kind of looks like a horn of a sheep, which is a little bit curled.
where could i have made a mistake? please help.You have the only horn-pattern i found 🙂
FräncisKay June 29, 2010 at 7:27 pm
now that i tried it several times, it finally works. thanks a lot
diana prince June 30, 2010 at 5:01 am
you’re welcome =)
did you find out where your twist came from?
pink lily February 16, 2011 at 2:46 am
HI there, I found your pattern its very lovley, I’m going to try this for a hat for my husbband..I just want to confirm on the m2..does that mean 2 single in the next 2 sc sts? I just want o make sure!! I appreciate your time and you have awesome works!
diana prince February 16, 2011 at 5:44 am
Hi pink,
no the m2 is a increase, so it’s 2 sc in the next stitch
2 sc in the next 2 stitches would be sc2
🙂

I followed the pattern to a t (marker and all) and it also has a twist. Advice would be appreciated!
Acitra March 6, 2012 at 1:46 am
I have tried to work this pattern twice, but my row counts keep coming out wrong. Rows 7, 9, & 11 seem to have to many stitches. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
diana prince April 1, 2012 at 9:19 am
Hi Margaret,
sorry for the late answer,
what do you mean by “it has a twist”? I’d like to help as best as I can
diana prince April 1, 2012 at 9:21 am
Hi Acitra,
have you re-arranged the marker after the decrease? round 6 explains why this happens.
Jinksy December 12, 2012 at 12:22 pm
I was puzzled by the ‘m2’ as well, until I read everybody else’s comments. Perhaps at the start of your instructions, you could insert this line:-
M2 = Increase by working 2 single crochet in next stitch.
Personally I would have used ‘increase in next stitch’ with a symbol showing M1
Diana Knits December 12, 2012 at 2:19 pm
thanks for the comment 🙂 I really should update this post so there is a list of abbreviations at the beginning 🙂
take care, Diana
Pen, Alias JInksy December 12, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Thanks for this pattern! Once I’d got my head around the abbreviations, it worked fine – now all I have to do is find a crochet Viking Helmet pattern to attach my two horns to! LOL ♥
Diana Knits December 12, 2012 at 6:55 pm
LOL 🙂
Jinksy January 13, 2013 at 7:57 am
And HERE is the rather scary result, with many thanks to you for the horns as a finishing touch!
LisaL January 22, 2013 at 1:59 am
I just tried this out and my horn also came out all weird and twisted looking. Going to try again. Hopefully it comes out pretty like the photo 😀
Thanks for the pattern!

Hi, i tried the pattern but my work twist too.
Somebody can explain me how do you proceed for have this perfect result, i think i have problem when i begin a row after decrease. the last sc of row is the first sc of next row too? i dont understand what i should do with the marker :s
( sorry for how i speak ,english is not my first language ^^’ )
Anonymous September 25, 2014 at 11:58 pm
I forgot to ask for m2 x2 : When they are ” sc4, m2 x2, sc4, sc2tog ” , i need to do “sc4, increase , increase, sc4, sc2tog ” or “sc4, increase, sc4, increase, sc4, sc2tog ” ?
Christie April 18, 2018 at 4:09 am
What is M1 and M2?? I need to finish this project tonight
Diana September 9, 2018 at 5:50 pm
it’s an increase (make1 or make2) please also check the abbreviations page 🙂
Ronny July 3, 2017 at 6:09 pm
I really like this pattern, it’s exactly what I need for a cosplay item. Mine ended up really straight, but a different gauge yarn would probably fix that. I have the basic pattern saved this way in my note book. Row A: X sc, one INC, sc to end.
Row B: X sc, two INC, X sc, Decr across 2 sc.
Repeat X + 1
Minimemakes1 December 15, 2017 at 8:03 pm
Great pattern, thank you for sharing it with us. I’ve used it for cute horns on a monster hat
iozzilina December 17, 2017 at 10:39 pm
Thank you for the great pattern! I just made 2. First one came out alright, the secong one – twisted. Frankly, i do like the twisted one better 🙂 i will backtrack to see what i did. Quite possibly started with 4 chain, instead of 5.
Shaylyn September 27, 2018 at 2:43 pm
I used this pattern to make tiny horns for a mini poro! Thank you! =)
Diana January 17, 2019 at 3:50 pm
welcome 🙂
