Christmas = presents = santa = reindeer. I think.

Materials
To make Shika the reindeer you will need:
– A Crochet hook, 2.5mm
– A beige or brown yarn for the body (you could make a colorful one too, though!) as well as a different beige/brown color for the antlers; plus wool for a scarf (I used green and red)
– A tapestry needle and scissors
– Stuffing
– Safety eyes (I used 9mm)
– A stitch marker to help you keep track of the start of the round
Please note that you can make Shika using any size crochet hook and yarn weight for a smaller or bigger result. Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm crochet hook, Shika should be about 16cm tall.

Stitches & Abbreviations
The pattern is written using US crochet terms in continuous spirals. You will need to know the following kinds of stitches to make him:
– Magic Ring (MR)
– Chaning (Ch)
– Single crochet (sc)
– Decrease (dec); preferably using the invisible decrease method
– Increase (inc)
