Reggie the Reindeer Doll Crochet Pattern
What Is Being Made
Reggie the Reindeer Doll is an amigurumi-style stuffed toy crochet pattern designed by Victoria Kairis of Smiley Crochet Things. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a finished doll measuring approximately 32cm (12½ inches) tall and 14cm (5½ inches) wide, making it an ideal size for a decorative toy or gift item.
Craft and Techniques
This project uses the amigurumi method, a popular crochet technique for creating three-dimensional stuffed toys and dolls. The pattern works in continuous spirals unless otherwise specified in the instructions, which allows for seamless construction of rounded forms. The technique relies on understanding the distinction between the right side and wrong side of the work, with the right side appearing on the outside when working in a clockwise direction. The pattern notes that front loops remain visible on the outside of the finished piece, an important detail for achieving the intended appearance of the doll.
Stitches and Construction Details
While the PDF excerpt does not list every individual stitch used throughout the pattern, the amigurumi construction method typically employs single crochet stitches as the foundation, with increases and decreases worked strategically to shape the doll's body, head, limbs, and facial features. Starting chains in this pattern do not count as the first stitch unless specifically noted, a convention important for maintaining accurate stitch counts during construction.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The pattern calls for Scheepjes Softfun DK / 8ply yarn, a blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic. This yarn weight classification ensures appropriate drape and stitch definition for the finished doll. The specific color requirements include:
- Pecan (2491) – 20g / 56m (1 ball) for the primary body color
- Citrus Lime (2641) – 13g / 37m (1 ball) for accent details

Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for crocheters with some experience in basic stitches and shaping techniques.
