Place this adorable crochet reindeer under the tree to make Christmas morning extra cuddly! It will bring the holiday spirit to your home and delight all your guests.
You can also give it out to a friend or coworker as Secret Santa gift that can be snuggled all year long!

- Yarnart Jeans (55% cotton, 45% acrylic; 160 m / 50 g) in beige, light and dark brown, red and green colors
- 2.0 mm crochet hook
- Fiberfill for stuffing
- 8 mm safety eyes
- Scissors and sewing needle
In case you use the specified yarn and hook, your Cuddle Me Reindeer will be about 20 cm (7.9″) tall including horns. The pattern can also work well with the yarn of other weight, but the size of finished crochet toy will be different.

Thank you for these lovely patterns i have made 10 of them and have just found the reindeer pattern, will be adding to my list to do.
Hello, I would like to know if I can sell stuffed toys made from this model?
Hi Marine, you are more than welcome to sell finished crochet toys made with the help of our patterns, giving a credit to our website, but no more than 50 items per month 🙂
How do you contact someone about an issue or problem? I sent a comment two days ago and have had no response.
I just purchased this pattern and started the toy this morning. I use my tablet for patterns but I cannot highlight or even underline to keep my place. I also like to write notes to myself, such as color ideas, eye size (if I want something different) or other notes to help the next time I use the pattern. Can I please get a copy that will allow me to do these things?
Hello, thank you so much for this beautiful pattern. All the patterns of serial “cuddle me” are wonderfull !! I am a big fan ; there are so cute. Do you plan to create more (like girafe, wolf, cat, turtle, unicorn…. ) Thank you so much to share your talent !
Hi Anna 🙂 Yes, we’re planning more cuddle me animals 🙂
This Reindeer is so cute😍
Thanks for the pattern of the cutest reindeer😍
these are the cutest patterns. I Can’t wait to make them
Hello, I have just a question about translating your patterns. They’re really cute and other people around me are asking for translating. I know, they are here for free in english and I also think it woudn’t be such a problem to translate them for free. But what for money, let say 1euro for 1 to translate. It´s for ladies who doesn´t speak other languages than their own.
Hi Bozzka, translation in other languages is forbidden.
I love your patterns! I have made a few of your animals and am now making the reindeer but am always confused by the leg joining part. Are you meant to attach at the front of the body or the back? I have been attaching at the back so the increases in rounds 2 and 3 of the body are at the back, but to do this the legs seem to be the wrong way around (i.e. the “left leg” with 20 stitches ends up on the right). Is this how it is meant to be?
Hi 🙂 Please have a look at this picture https://amigurumi.today/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/amigurumi-legs-instructions.png
I’m confused also re the crochet first 13 stitches on the right and the first 20 stitches on the left.. but each leg only has 16 stitches
Hi Toni, it means that on one leg you crochet more than 1 round (16+4), and on the another leg you have less stitches than in the last round (13).
Oh. My. God. It is the cutest thing I’ve ever see!!!!!
I want to do all your Cuddle Me amigurumi!! I can’t wait!
