If I were to ask what the most popular toy of Christmas and winter is, most of them would probably answer “Deer”. Today, I will introduce you to the deer amigurumi toy of the Christmas set, which is shared as a set of three. A crocheted bunny or teddy bear can also be used for Christmas if it has the necessary accessories, but nothing can replace a deer. The design of the deer seems a little more difficult than the bunny and teddy bear.
Deer Jossy for Christmas Crochet Toy Pattern
Especially when making the head of the crocheted deer, you should carefully make the junction of the white and brown colors. In addition, the ends of the deer’s legs, namely the hooves, are crocheted using a darker brown thread.
