Oh deer! Look how cute she is! Meet Ponderosa the Fawn and her cousin Spruce the Reindeer.

Though there aren’t any reindeer in my hometown of Cedaredge, Colorado, there are deer a plenty!

I’ve created this step by step written pattern- complete with photos, tips, tricks and helpful links- with options to create a fawn, a deer or a reindeer depending on the colors you choose to use!

***** A NOTE ON YARNS*****
Almost all of the yarns I use in my stash has been given to me, so they vary widely. However I suggest the same weight, and if possible the same brand if you are buying new skeins, of at least 3.5 oz of each color. This ensures that each piece will match in size and shape as “medium weight” can vary from brand to brand.

Colors needed for pieces: body color and hoof (or antler) color.

Recommended Hook size: 3.25 mm (used in pattern) or 3.5 mm

Supplies:

• Yarn

• Yarn Needle

• Fiber filling

• 12 mm Safety eyes - you can also use buttons or eyes of choice

• Crochet hook

Some pieces are worked in the round and some worked flat. Each piece is noted before you begin.
