Notes

General
ETA 15 November: Wanted him sparklier so I embroidered stars with silver thread all over him.
He’s so cute! Anna has the best softies patterns.
The Nova is much softer than I expected. Not nearly as harsh as other old mohair yarns I’ve encountered.
Using 9mm pink safety eyes from my stash.

Mods

  • Holding Nova and Glitter together.
  • Using lifted increases everywhere except for the first two rounds on the legs and arms.
  • Making horns with only two prongs (1st & 3rd) to make him look more like a reindeer and less as a moose.
  • Tried various combos of eyes/nostrils/nose/mouth and in the end decided he looked cutest with just eyes.
