Now you will begin the tapestry crocheted letters. For a more detailed tutorial on how to do tapestry crochet read this post.

I'm going to spell out how to do the first line of the tapestry chart so you know how to do it. Read the chart from top to bottom, starting with Row 14.

Rnd 14: Ch 1, sc in same sc and in next 30 scs(23 scs for woman's hat), start next sc, add carrot yarn, sc in next 3 scs, start next sc, add buff yarn, start next sc, add carrot yarn, sc in next 3 scs, start next sc, add buff yarn, start next sc, add carrot yarn, start next sc, add buff yarn, sc in next 2 scs, start next sc, add carrot yarn, start next sc, add buff yarn, sc, start next sc, add carrot yarn, sc, start next sc, add buff yarn, sc in next 2 scs, start next sc, add carrot yarn, sc in next 2 scs, start next sc, add buff yarn, cut carrot yarn leaving a tail for weaving in, sc in each sc around. (84 scs)

For the next 4 rows (Rnd 15 to 18) you will start the same way,
Ch 1, sc in same sc and in next 31 scs(25 scs for the woman's size, see the W line), start next sc, add carrot yarn, then you will follow the chart. At the end of the chart, make sure you have switched to buff yarn and then sc in each sc around. Make sure to sl st in the beg sc at the end of the rnd. (84 scs, men's, 72 scs, women's)

Rnd 19: Ch 1, sc in same sc and in each sc around, sl st in beg sc, fasten off leaving a tail for sewing. (84 scs mens, 72 scs women's)

Rnd 20: Attach carrot yarn in beg sc, ch 1, sc in same sc, and in each sc around, sl st in beg sc, fasten off leaving a tail for sewing. Weave in ends. (84 scs men's, 72 scs, women's)

Horns
Make 2
With a G hook and off white yarn, form a magic circle
Rnd 1: Do 5 scs in magic circle, insert hook in top of beg sc and pull circle closed. (5 scs)

Rnd 2: Sc in 1st sc, mark with a stitch marker, then sc in same st, sc in next 4 scs. (6 scs)

From now on put a stitch marker in the 1st st of each rnd.

Push the center up to form the point on the horn

Rnd 3: Sc in next sc, 2 scs in next sc, sc in next 4 scs. (7 scs)
Rnd 4: Sc in next sc, 2 scs in next 2 scs, sc in next 2 scs, sc2tog. (8 scs)
Rnd 5: Sc in next 2 scs, 2 scs in next sc, sc in next 5 scs. (9 scs)
Rnd 6: Sc in next 3 scs, 2 scs in next 2 scs, sc in next 2 scs, sc2tog. (10 scs)

From from Rnd 7 to 19 on the last sc2tog will always cross the 1st st of the previous rnd. Don't worry just start the new rnd after that st like nothing happened.

Rnd 7: Sc in next 3 scs, 2 scs in next sc, sc in next 6 scs. (11 scs)
Rnd 8: Sc in next 4 scs, 2 scs in next 2 scs, sc in next 4 scs, sc2tog. (13 scs)

Rnd 27: Sc in next 23 scs. (23 scs)

Rnd 28: Sc2tog, sc in next 21. (22 scs)

From from Rnd 29 to 30 on the last sc2tog will always cross the 1st st of the previous rnd. Don't worry just start the new rnd after that st like nothing happened.

Rnd 29: Sc2tog, sc in next 19 scs, sc2tog. (21 scs)
