Free crochet reindeer pattern: a Sitting Reindeer amigurumi, about 17 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It is a sitting brown reindeer with a cream belly, branching beige antlers, a shiny red nose, pink cheeks and a chunky green scarf. You need about 125 m of yarn: 75 m brown, 15 m beige, 10 m green, 10 m cream, 5 m dark brown, 5 m red and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 4 hours. Sit it under the tree or on a shelf as a Christmas decoration, or give it to a child as a first holiday friend. Turn the 3D model around and follow the round-by-round pattern, with the antlers worked as separate branching pieces.

- Size before assembly: about 7.4 cm at the widest, 5.5 cm long; 19 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.
- A flat oval about 5.7 × 3.7 cm; 5 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 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.

- Size before assembly: about 2.4 cm at the widest, 3.3 cm long; 10 rounds.

- 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 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 2.7 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 24 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 55 %) -->

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 1.85 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.
