Free Reindeer pattern
free Reindeer crochet pattern
Reindeer are animals that live mainly in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, but perhaps with this Free Reindeer pattern you can create adorable reindeer, and certainly those reindeer cannot come from the North Pole. Let’s get started. I collected this pattern from @scandistyle_dolls.
Materials
1. Yarn (beige, milky, brown). I have beige and milky – Vita Brilliant (380 m /100 g), brown – thin chenille yarn (regular yarn can be used). Any yarn can be used for the whole toy.
2. Crochet hook, I have Clover size 1,5 mm.
3. Plastic eyes size 3 mm, glue.
4. Brown thin thread for nose embroidery.
5. Polyester fiberfill, needle, pins, scissors.
Size of the finished toy is 6-7 cm.
