Rowan the Reindeer

Introducing Rowan, the adorable and soft Reindeer who is just begging to be hugged and cuddled! This delightful knitting pattern is perfect for anyone looking to create a warm, snuggly companion for the holidays or year-round coziness.

Rowan is crafted using a combination of high-quality yarns including Wendy Eider Chunky, Stylecraft Special DK, and Stylecraft Special Aran, as shown in the accompanying picture. This pattern also allows for flexibility, as you can choose any chunky faux fur yarn that suits your style! For a wonderful alternative, consider using Phildar Faux Fur yarn, which is also listed in the materials section to help you create your own version of this charming reindeer.

The knitting process is straightforward, as Rowan is worked FLAT on 3.5 mm needles, and the pieces are seamed together at the back. This makes the pattern ideal for those who prefer to knit flat rather than in the round. Please note that some assembly of the different parts will be required to bring Rowan to life.

For his adorable features, I opted for 12mm safety eyes and a double strand of black DK yarn, ensuring that Rowan has the perfect expression of warmth and love. Once completed, Rowan measures a delightful 35 cm tall and 12 cm wide, making him an ideal size for cuddling!

This pattern is suitable for beginners to intermediates, provided you have a basic understanding of simple increases and decreases. Whether you are new to knitting or have some experience, you will love creating this soft reindeer that brings joy and comfort to any home.
