This adorable reindeer is fun to knit, and stands 16” tall, 12” long. You can use whatever yarn you have handy, but I find wool or acrylic/wool blends make the nicest toys.

Edit Aug. 2023: This pattern is no longer available, as I’ve learned there may be some issues with the instructions (not surprising, as I made the toy many years ago when I was still learning about knitting design). I have no plans to fix or update the pattern, as I would rather spend my time on new projects.
