Robin & Rudy Reindeer the tree decorations

This pattern has detailed instructions for both Rudy the Reindeer and Robin the....robin. Lots of nice pictures and diagrams where I think it will help. You really don't need much yarn at all so it's a good chance to use up some stash.

**** buy with Santa & Cyril for just $5 - that's 4 tree critters**** http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/santa--cyril-the-elf

The body of both critters finishes at about 5cm diameter

This pattern uses: adjustable ring starting method (or magic loop) Working in the round Single crochet (sc) Half double crochet (hdc) Double crochet (dc) Slip stitch (SlSt) Increasing (inc) Decreasing (dec)

You will need (a very rough guide):

About 25g or light brown and scraps of red, dark brown, white and a strand of yellow yarn/thread for the beak
