A free crochet reindeer pattern for a little amigurumi reindeer ornament with a red nose, pale antlers and a hanging loop. This reindeer plushie is a round cocoa-brown ball with happy closed eyes, a cream muzzle, a red nose ball and a red collar with a golden bell. It is worked in the round in single crochet with fingering yarn and a 2 mm hook and stands about 7.5 cm (3 in) tall; the eyes and mouth are embroidered, and the ears, antlers, nose, bell, tiny hooves and loop are sewn on. The page gives a row-by-row pattern with stitch counts and an interactive 3D model to check every piece, and it makes a sweet tree decoration.

- Size before assembly: about 5.4 cm at the widest, 5.4 cm long; 26 rounds.
- → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
- A flat oval about 1.9 × 1.6 cm; 3 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running side to side. The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
- With cream: ch 3.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
- Size before assembly: about 0.9 cm at the widest, 1 cm long; 4 rounds.
- → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 5 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
- A flat circle about 1 cm across; 2 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
- Size before assembly: about 1.8 cm at the widest, 1.7 cm long; 7 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 1.5 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 18 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 40 %) -->
- Size before assembly: about 0.7 cm at the widest, 2.6 cm long; 10 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done. Bend ≈ 25° around round 5<!-- the bend spreads over 5 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces forward on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 5, on the centre front line). It is a slight bend: tilt the piece as you sew it on; optionally tack the inner side with 1–2 stitches drawing rounds 4 and 5 together. Bend the second piece as a mirror image.
- Size before assembly: about 0.5 cm at the widest, 1.2 cm long; 5 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.
