Many of you probably know Pochacco. Pochacco is actually a very cute dog and crochet toys are usually made using plush yarn. Now we see that Pochacco has turned into a cute reindeer with antlers. In fact, although the dog amigurumi toy has not lost much of its features such as its cute ears, we can say that it has taken on a new character. You can even adapt your other toys to Christmas by making small changes like in the picture.
Pochacco Christmas Reindeer Amigurumi
The body of the amigurumi toy is made using green yarn. Although it seems like there is a little inconsistency between the ears and brown antlers of the toy, I think it is a very cute toy for Christmas.
