❄️ The reindeer with the best texture on the whole team.

Most crochet reindeer are smooth and plain. This little guy is worked in the Wheat Stitch™ from top to bottom, so he has real texture the moment you pick him up. He holds his shape on a mantel, a shelf or under the tree.

Tie on his braided scarf, tuck in one of the printable gift tags, and he’s ready to be someone’s favorite present.

▶️ Watch him come together on YouTube

✨ What makes it work

• Less sewing than you’d expect. The body is one piece. Pause partway to add the antlers, snout and nose.
• Sweet details. Embroidered accents up top nod to a real deer’s markings.

• Printable gift tags included.
• You’re not on your own. Video tutorial and written pattern included.
