This is an easy to follow knit PATTERN to make a Reindeer, a Santa, an Elf and a Snowman. The beanies stand approximately 2-3 inches (6-8cm) tall - not including hats or antlers!

This is a good project for beginner knitters to learn new stitches whilst knitting something cute and quick!

The patterns are designed for beginner knitters who can already do basic knit and purl stitches, can cast on and bind off, pick up stitches and can knit rows and rounds. All other shaping stitches as well as felting instructions are explained in plain english with colour photos to illustrate.

The beanies are quick to knit and felt. They have been designed so that there is the minimum of fiddly seams to sew after knitting. After knitting they are felted which is fun and instant magic!

You will need 100% worsted weight wool yarn that is feltable. Machine washable yarn is not suitable.

You will also need small beads for eyes and buttons, stuffing, plastic beads for weighting the base of the body and a short length of wire for the glasses.

The pattern is an 11 page pdf with colour photos throughout. Pattern users also receive email support if needed with online tutorials for techniques planned.
