Assembling

Fill the Body: After you finished crocheting the body of the reindeer, it is necessary to fill it and close the openings. First use the openings at the arms and legs to fill the body with polyfill and then the respective limbs.

Close Openings: After you have filled the entire body with enough polyfill, it is time to close the openings. First, using a thread in Sun-Kissed, sew together the 4 stitches in the crotch of the reindeer.

Then close the arm and leg openings.

Muzzle: Sew the muzzle to the head centered below the eyes.

Eyebrows: Attach the eyebrows right and left, 1 stitch row above the eyes, onto the head.

Tail: Sew the tail centered, just above the legs, onto the back of the body.

Antlers: Sew the small piece of the antler to the lower part of the larger piece, near the opening.

Then sew the two finished antlers left and right 2 to 3 stitches from the center of the head onto the head.

Ears: Attach the ears about 1 to 2 stitches below the antlers onto the head.

Nose: Embroider the nose with a Cherry colored thread. Embroider the nose on the middle of the already sewn on muzzle. To do this, pull the thread horizontally several times from one stitch through the next, skipping 1 stitch between those stitches.
