Front Legs:

1. Using beige yarn and a 4.5 mm hook – ch 2, 6 sc into the second chain from the hook
2. (2 sc, inc) * 2 = 8
   3-4. 2 rounds = 8
   5-8. 4 rounds = 8
3. (2 sc, dec) * 2 = 6, crochet together both sides with 3 sc, fasten off and weave in the end.

Make the second leg in the same way.

Legs – Body – Head:

Start crocheting with the legs in red boots. Use red yarn and a 4.5 mm hook for the left lower leg:

1. Ch 2, 6 sc into the second chain from the hook
2. inc * 6 = 12
   3-4. 2 rounds = 12
3. (dec * 3, 3 sc) = 9
4. 9 sc

Change to beige yarn:
7-9. 3 rounds = 9, sl st, fasten off and weave in the end.

Repeat the same process for the right leg, but instead of cutting the yarn, continue as follows:

10. Ch 1, 9 sc along the left leg, 10th sc into the base of the first sc on the left leg; sc along the chain; 9 sc along the right leg, 10th sc into the base of the first sc on the right leg = 22. Here, it’s recommended to mark the beginning of the round.
11. 10 sc, inc, sc, inc, 9 sc = 24
    12-13. 2 rounds = 24

Face:

1. Using beige yarn and a 4.5 mm hook – ch 2, 6 sc into the second chain from the hook
2. inc * 6 = 12
3. (sc, inc) * 6 = 18
   4-5. 2 rounds = 18, sl st, fasten off and weave in the end.

Ears:

1. Using beige yarn and a 4.5 mm hook – ch 2, 6 sc into the second chain from the hook
2. (sc, inc) * 3 = 9
3. (2 sc, inc) * 3 = 12
   4-5. 2 rounds = 12, sl st, fold in half, crochet both sides together with 3 sc, fasten off and weave in the end.

Make the second ear the same way.

Antlers:

1. Using brown yarn and a 4 mm hook – ch 2, 5 sc into the second chain from the hook
   2-3. 2 rounds = 5
2. sc, 3 dc in one stitch, 3 sc
3. sc, 3 dc with one top, 3 sc
   6-7. 2 rounds = 5, sl st, fasten off and weave in the end.

Add stuffing to the antlers.
