It’s time to welcome the winter season with the brightest reindeer in town, Merry the Reindeer. This friendly reindeer is all ready for the cold and snowy days, with his cozy beanie hat and scarf, and can’t wait to build snowmen with you and even take part in a snowball fight.

The pattern is written in U.S. terminology. The main part of this project is worked in rounds so you might want to use a stitch marker to mark the end of each round. There is no specific gauge for this project, just try to keep it tight and even throughout each piece. Merry the Reindeer measures approx. 17cm (6.7in), when using the same yarn/tools as indicated below and working with the “x” single crochet technique (yarn under, yarn over). Make sure to also start the other stitches with yarn under to keep the same tension throughout.
