These patterns are for you to make an amigurumi shelf-sitting figure of a Reindeer and Santa. No physical materials are supplied.
Your finished items are not toys and should be for display purposes only. They will be weighted at the base and both sit around 10 inches tall (not including the dangly legs). Total length is around 14 inches.
