These are nearly invisible increases that help maintain a super clean look of the fabric.

Ruby is a charming reindeer ready to bring some festive cheer! She is knitted flat on two needles and sewn together, making her a fun and enjoyable project. Her pretty removable dress is also knitted flat, so Ruby can be dressed up for Christmas or given a whole wardrobe of little outfits. A lovely handmade toy to gift, display, or treasure for years to come.
