Easter animals - a bunny, a lamb and a chick - can be a lovely decoration or cute toys. They are quick to make, however, there are a few advanced stitches in the pattern which could be difficult for a beginner. An adventurous crocheter will be able to handle them though.

Rudolph is a North Pole family member of the animals from our Cutest Menagerie (or Halloween Menagerie) pattern, but it is a stand-alone pattern and you don’t need the others to crochet it.

The pattern includes instructions for 4 animals and their accessories. Some of the items are more difficult to crochet, but an adventurous beginner can handle that.

To make one animal you will need a little more than 1 skein of Drops Paris yarn. You can, of course, use any yarn you’d like. I have made the pattern with a jumbo chenille yarn and the toy was about 19” / 45cm tall.

This pattern can be made with any yarn, however, to get the indicated size, please use aran weight. The colours are of your choice.

3 Christmas baubles which you can make in your preferred yarn and colours of your choice. They don’t take long to crochet, and you can make a bunch to decorate the entire tree.
