Digital Knitting Pattern for my Deer Head

• Knit your deer in two different sizes, mini or giant
• Intermediate knit, aimed at confident knitters
• Knitted using straight needles, there’s no working in the round
• The antlers use florist wire to keep them upright
• The digital pattern is written English, with a photo tutorial for sewing up
• This project requires a backing board to finish it, see my haberdashery section for more information

SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate. This pattern is aimed at confident knitters who know how to knit, purl, increase and decrease. A photo tutorial has been included for sewing up and mounting the finished head onto the backing board.

STITCHES USED: Knit, purl, increasing, decreasing, turning the work, and mattress stitch for sewing up.

Please note the price of the pattern will vary from country to country due to digital VAT laws. I’ll receive the same amount per sale.
