Holiday Deer
Tis the season to be… well, not YET, but it’s fast approaching. I can just hear those sleigh bells in the offing. So, with Halloween just around the corner, you will have to start thinking about Christmas stocking stuffers, tree decorations, and general in-the-spirit-of-things things. What better way than amigurumi beasties? And what beastie is more festive than a cute ami deer with a VERY Christmasy sweater? While these guys are a little more difficult, they will be a great way to up your crochet game into even more spectacular festive decorations.

Digital Reindeer Christmas Sweater
A Christmas sweater doesn’t have to be ugly. Actually it can be quite cute and there is nothing more cute than the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I’m sure every kid will love it and when you add the digital eyes, it will be a hit. If not, a version with traditional eyes is also included. However, if you do wish to make this a traditional ugly Christmas sweater, then feel free to play around with color combos to achieve the ultimate Christmas “Ugh!”.
