Stuff the horn through the small hole that remains then cut yarn, thread through the remaining stitches and pull tight.
Work through the pattern again to make the second horn.
Making Up:
For individual attachment work five or six big stitches across the base of the horn.
Slip one side of a hair clip through the stitches and then attach to your hair.
Individual clips are easy to hide in your hair but they do tend to slip if you wear them for a long time. They work best if you can tie up your hair to keep them in place.
Alternatively the horns can be sewn or glued to an Alice band. This works with any length of hair and will hold them in position better but there is a lot more hair band to conceal.
