10mm safety eyes *2 and a safety nose

Terminology:

MR: magic ring

sc: single crochet

hdc: half double crochet

dc: double crochet

inc: increase

inv-dec: invisible decrease

BLO: back loop only

sc3tog: three stiches together

slst: slip stich

ch: chain

Horns (make 2)

Dark brown, 3.75mm hook

R1: MR 4 sc

R2: BLO sc in each st

R3: BLO 4 inc

R4-R5: BLO sc in each st

R6: BLO 4*[inc, sc]

R7-R8: BLO sc in each st (2rows)

R9: BLO 4*[inc, 2sc]

R10-R12: BLO sc in each st (3rows)

R13: BLO 4*[inc, 3sc]

R14-R16: BLO sc in each st (3rows)

R17: BLO 4*[inc, 4sc]

R18-R23: BLO sc in each st (6rows)

R24: [2sc, inv-dec] to end of row

Stuff the horn (not too tight since you’ll need to curl the horn later)

R25: sc3tog*6 (for a flatter dec)

Tie off and sew up the hole

Slst on the last front loop of R23, slst in all the unworked front loops through R1. Tie off

To create the curl of the horns, follow the instructions in this video: https://youtu.be/pDoHXg5dvRQ?t=353

The example in the video is a pretty straightforward curl, to create more of a twist like Ornn's horn, weave the yarn down straight from R23-R17, then continue at a bit of an angle - you can twist the horn by hand and see where the ridges bunch up, that’s where the thread goes

Body

Work with two strands at the same time: dark red furry yarn and dark red worsted yarn in 5.5mm hook

R1: MR 6 sc

R2: inc *6

R3: [sc, inc]*6

R4: [2sc, inc]*6

R5: sc in each st

R6: [3sc, inc]*6

R7: [4sc, inc]*6

R8: [5sc, inc]*6

R9-R11: sc in each st

R12: [5sc, inv-dec]*6

R13: [4sc, inv-dec]*6

R14: [3sc, inv-dec]*6

R15: [2sc, inv-dec]*6

R16: [sc, inv-dec]*6

Start stuffing the body, place the safety eyes and nose in around R7, but since we are working with two strands of yarn, there's a bit more flexibility to place safety eyes. Move them around to see where fits best :)

R17: inv-dec*6

Tie off and weave in ends.

Legs (make 2)

*For a cleaner color change, slst around with the new color, then BLO sc around. (counts as one round of the new color)

Start with light brown, 3.75mm hook

R1: MR 6 sc

R2: inc*6

R3: [sc, inc]*6

R4: BLO sc in each st

R5-R6: sc in each st (2 rows), switch to dark brown at the last st

R7-R14: sc in each st (8 rows)

Tie off, stuff, and sew together the two sides of the opening

Left Arm

Start with dark blue, 3.75mm hook

R1: MR 6 sc

R2: inc*6

R3: BLO sc in each st

R4-R5: sc in each st (2 rows), switch to gold at the last st

R6: sc in each st, switch back to dark blue at the last st

R7-R10: sc in each st (4 rows)

Tie off, stuff, and sew together the two sides of the opening

Right arm

Start with dark red worsted, 3.5mm hook

R1: MR 6 sc

R2: inc*6

R3: BLO sc in each st

R4: sc in each st, switch to dark blue at last st

R5-R10: sc in each st (6 rows)

Tie off, stuff, and sew together the two sides of the opening

Chest fluff

Dark red furry yarn, 5.5mm hook

R1: Ch 9, turn

R2: 2sc, hdc, [hdc, dc in same st], [hdc, dc in same st], hdc, 2sc, tie off and leave long tail for sewing

Eyebrows (make 2)

Dark red furry yarn, 5.5mm hook

Chain 7, turn and sc 3. Tie off and sew with the thicker part on top of the eyes.

Assemble:

Beard

cut 12 pieces of ~10 cm yarn, use tapestry needle to thread them through the st where the nose is. Tie together with golden yarn.

* for a more secure tie, I used a piece of sewing thread to tie, and then wrapped the golden yarn over

* you can weave the loose gold yarn back into the body as an anchor for the beard braids

(I assembled the rest by eye so there’s nothing too strict about it)

Sew the horns on first since the face is pretty much done so you can see the placement better

Then sew each arm roughly under where the golden ties of the braids are. Use the chest fluff to cover up the stitches where the arm connects to the body. Use the fluffy yarn to sew on the fluff so everything blends together.

Sew on the legs last horizontally, they should slot pretty well between the body and arms.

And that's it! Good luck with your Ornn making :)
