Free crochet reindeer pattern: a Derpy Reindeer Ornament amigurumi, about 8 cm tall in fingering yarn with a 2.0 mm hook. It is a round brown reindeer head with cream antlers, floppy ears, crossed eyes, a big red nose and a tiny tongue, with a gold loop between the antlers. You need about 60 m of yarn: 25 m brown, 15 m beige, 5 m gold, 5 m cream, 5 m red and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 2 hours. Hang it on the tree, a gift bag or a window, or give it to a reindeer fan. Turn the 3D model around and crochet it round by round with the pattern.

- Size before assembly: about 5.6 cm at the widest, 4.6 cm long; 25 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 circle about 2.3 cm across; 4 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.
- Size before assembly: about 1.2 cm at the widest, 1.2 cm long; 5 rounds.

- Size before assembly: about 1.8 cm at the widest, 2.5 cm long; 10 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.
- Change to brown (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R8).
- 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 2.1 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 18 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 55 %) -->
- Size before assembly: about 0.8 cm at the widest, 3.7 cm long; 14 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 ≈ 30° around round 9<!-- the bend spreads over 3 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's left on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 9, 2 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left <!-- st 1.82 left -->). It is a slight bend: tilt the piece as you sew it on; optionally tack the inner side with 1–2 stitches drawing rounds 8 and 9 together. Bend the second piece as a mirror image.
