Deer Crochet Pattern by Crafty Intentions Downloadable DIGITAL PDF

Crafty Intentions CROCHET PATTERN Deer pattern (printable PDF-file / 89 pages)

Developed by Megan Lapp aka Crafty Intentions, this pattern is for a Deer! This pattern is written in U.S. terminology.

This pattern comes with instructions to make Deer! This pattern includes instructions for a Body, straight/standing front leg, extended/stepping front leg, Straight Standing Rear Leg, Extended/stepping rear leg, a head with or without colorwork, eyelids, a tail, ears, three styles of antlers, and 2 styles of chest/neck fur. This pattern features clear step by step instruction with a lot of row-by-row photos. The gauge is not crucial to the pattern as long as the stitches are tight enough to hold stuffing.

This pattern is a total of 89 pages containing a full set of written instructions with photographic illustrations, and there are video tutorials for particular steps and stitches available on my YouTube channel. This Pattern consists of ONE PDF File, and the last 24 pages include 21 pages of Text-Only, Printer-Friendly instructions and 3 pages of the EU Safety and Compliance Document, but I strongly recommend you still refer to the photographic illustrations throughout the pattern if you have any questions.

This pattern has one add-on pattern to make a "Peryton" aka a half-bird-of-prey half-deer.
