Reindeer Free Crochet Pattern | Regina the Reindeer Amigurumi

Named after one of my best crochet friends, Regina the Reindeer is a fun, easy amigurumi pattern for those who want to start making amigurumi! Christmas is right around the corner, and it’s time to start making all those lovely decorations and gifts, which reminds me, I need to start on my gifts! I love making Squishimos for stocking stuffers, and the Under the Sea amigurumi are always a good gift choice! This reindeer free crochet pattern is also a good choice, especially if you’re new to crochet!d

Regina appears to be a majestic, unsociable (but beautiful) creature at first glance, but once you get talking to her you realize she’s one of the funniest, nicest animals in the woodland!

Regina is the queen of the woods, and holds court for the other creatures each week, and is very fair.

No one dares to cross her, as when she’s upset she can be quite fierce! Being bigger than most of the other creatures and having sharp antlers to throw baddies with definitely helps ramp up the fear factor!

Woodland Amigurumi eBook #2

She only takes a couple of hours to make and is very simple. I designed Regina for the Woodland Amigurumi Book #2! It’s unreleased, but I’ll edit this post when it is. The first ebook is available though, and you can check it out here: Woodland Amigurumi eBook #1
