About this crochet pattern
This reindeer hood turns your little one into the most lovable reindeer in town. It is a snug, textured hood worked flat with front and back post stitches, with two-piece floppy ears, bendy stuffed antlers with branching points and a button tab to keep the chin cozy.
It is perfect for Christmas photos, school plays, holiday parties and any kid who is willing to be a good sport for the season. The hood height is easy to adjust to your child's neck-to-crown measurement.
