Dash Away Reindeer
Introducing the adorable finished knit reindeer, designed to stand at 9 inches tall and 15 inches long. This festive project is primarily knitted in the round and crafted all in one piece, with the exception of the charming antlers. You'll only need to tackle one seam to bring this delightful creation to life!
Q: Will these knitted reindeer stand on their own? A: Unfortunately, no. The design is intended to place the reindeer in a whimsical flying position, with their front legs gracefully drawn upward and their back legs extended. To achieve this delightful pose, a stand is required. I recommend using a double-pointed needle (DPN) in combination with a piece of styrofoam for the perfect support!
Q: Is the knitting pattern fiddly? A: Some parts of this pattern can indeed be fiddly, especially when knitting the realistic reindeer legs on double-pointed needles. However, the end result is absolutely worth the attention to detail! The challenge of creating these intricate legs adds to the charm and uniqueness of your finished project.
Q: Does this pattern include the Santa doll? A: No, this pattern solely focuses on the delightful reindeer and its accompanying harness. If you’re interested in the Santa doll, you can find that charming pattern, titled "Forest Gnome," available in my Ravelry store.
Perfect for knitters looking to add a festive touch to their holiday décor, this reindeer pattern is ideal for intermediate knitters who enjoy a bit of a challenge. Whether you're planning to make a single reindeer or a whole herd, this pattern provides detailed instructions that ensure your reindeer will be a cherished holiday decoration for years to come!
