You need to knit:
To make up:
The body
- Three 14 x 24 squares; one for the head and two for the body.
- One 20 x 6 rectangle for the neck.
- Four 10 x 24 rectangles for the legs.
- Two 4 x 6 squares one beige and one white for the tail.
- Two 4 x 6 squares for the ears.
To make up:
The body
- Stitch the two squares together along cast-on and cast-off edges and run a gathering thread around the open ends.
- Pull gathering thread, sew one end, add the stuffing and close the other end.
- Stitch all 10*14 rectangle parts lengthwise, pull a gathering thread through one end and leave the other side open to add the stuffing.
- Sew the open end of the legs to the body.
- Fold the square in half and run a gathering thread at one end and shape the other end to look like a head.
- Add stuffing through the open side and pull gathering thread before sewing it shut.
- For the ears fold the square in half to make a triangle.
- Sew edges of one triangle to the head leaving the other triangle standing up.
- For the antlers fold the rectangles in half, sewing it so that one end is pointy and the other is open.
- If you have space you can add stuffing. If you use a thicker yarn to knit the antlers this will help making it bulky and therefore no need for stuffing.
- Sew them in front of the ears.
- Optional: when done sewing draw the thread through the ear and cut in a way where you can still see the thread but is not longer than the ear.
- Sew in the eyes, nose and beard.
The tail
- Sew the two squares together then sew it to the body.
