Rudolph’s Nose

Ideal for gifting as well as hanging on your Christmas tree, you’ll love this unique reindeer decoration! Designed to fit a Lindt chocolate ball in the nose pocket, this reindeer pattern uses single crochet (some worked in the round, some in rows) to create simple parts which are then crocheted together to join. This quick and fun project is suitable for confident beginners.
