Happy Friday! Today kicks off the first of four fun and free patterns for our Christmas in July event! I’m so excited to introduce you to Rosie the Reindeer, she is a smaller version (8 inches tall!) of Ray the Reindeer from last year. Now you can make a whole family of reindeer! While I’ve made her as a girl version you can easily change up the colors and exclude the eyelashes for an adorable boy version too! If you’d like more information on the other patterns that will be shared throughout the month head over here for all of the details, materials and dates! Rosie is made with her legs, body and head all as one piece. She’s super quick to work up with no color changes and minimal sewing required! If you’ve been on the fence about trying out amigurumi she’s a great first pattern! Be sure to also check out our Tips to Amigurumi page to walk you through the basics and methods we’ll be using below! You’ll be ‘hooked’ before you know it! To stay up to date on new pattern releases (including the remaining Christmas in July patterns) you can sign up for our newsletter here! Be sure to also join the Grace and Yarn Crochet Group on Facebook! Share your work, ask questions and engage with others who love to crochet! While designing this series of patterns I took your requests from the group to keep them small. They all range from 6-8 inches tall. Difference in tension may result in slightly taller or shorter animals but they should still be the perfect size for stuffing stockings this Winter! Pattern PIN here to save for later! Grab the ad-free PDF version in my Etsy or Ravelry shop! This post contains affiliate links, meaning if you purchase an item from a link below I will receive a small commission. This helps keep the free patterns flowing! All links are to products I use and love! Thanks for supporting Grace and Yarn! For more information check out our disclosure here. You may make and sell items made from this pattern but please do not sell, share or reproduce the actual pattern. If you sell finished items online (Etsy, etc) please provide a link to the pattern and credit to me as the designer, thank you. I hope you enjoy this pattern! Materials – Size 4 worsted weight yarn (50g of light brown and small amount of white, dark brown and choice of color for cheeks and scarf) 3.5 mm crochet hook (These are my all time favorite hooks to use!) 5mm crochet hook (scarf) 9mm safety eyes Black crochet/embroidery thread for eyelashes (optional) Scissors Tapestry needle (These work great for amigurumi!) Stuffing Stitch markers (A piece of scrap yarn does the trick!) Abbreviations – US terminology MC- Magic circle SC- Single crochet SC INC- Single crochet increase INV DEC- Invisible decrease HDC – Half double crochet St(s)- Stitch(es) NOTES – – We will be using our 3.5mm crochet hook for each part apart from the scarf, which will use the 5mm. – Slowly stuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched. You will be working in the round; I like to use a stitch marker at the beginning of each round. You can find more tips on stuffing your amigurumi here! – The legs, body and head will be made as one piece. Mouth Piece – With white Round 1: Create a magic circle with 6 SC Round 2: SC INC in each st (12) Round 3: SC around (12) Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing onto the head. With a small piece dark brown yarn and tapestry needle, make a few passes towards the top of the nose and across 2-3 stitches to form the nose.

When you complete the 2nd leg continue to round 16 to join the leg. Round 16: Chain 3 and attach to the first leg with a SC. SC in the remaining stitches around the leg. When you reach the chain make a SC across each of the 3 chains, SC in the remaining stitches of the next leg and SC across each of the 3 chains again.
