Notes:
This pattern creates a 14 inch tall crocheted deer snuggler.
You can use whatever hook size you prefer to achieve tight stitches, but this may effect your overall size.
I use the yarn Under (YU) technique. This gives a slightly shorter single crochet. If you use the yarn Over (YO) technique, it may give you a slightly taller cow. YU stitches stack straighter on top of each other compared to YO stitches in the round, so if using YO instead, you may need to shift your arm, eye, and ear placements over by 1 stitch in each of their rows. (1 stitch over for arms, 1 for eyes, and 2 for ears)
You will need to know graph work to frequently change color in the same row, for the tail.
This pattern is worked in continuous rounds.
