This adorable reindeer would love nothing more than to snuggle under a cozy blanket while watching the snow fall. Knit with durable acrylic yarn and easy stitches, this little friend will quickly become a cherished toy. Make one special reindeer to cuddle or make an entire herd for snow day play. When you present this darling toy as a gift, don’t forget the hot chocolate!
