Santa Claus' reindeer are one of my favorite things about Christmas. I also like it when they are depicted as reindeer or caribou, instead of white tailed deer. This little reindeer is based on a Peary caribou, the caribou who live closest to the North Pole. He is also in scale with my 3D cross stitch Santa Claus doll.

I like accuracy in plush animals and have made the markings like those found on a Peary caribou. Why use cross stitch? Because cross stitch allows me to make tiny details that would be difficult to do by another method. Who says that cross stitch is only good for flat things? Now you can stitch a doll using cross stitch for the details.

The animal is stitched as 21 pieces which are then cut out and sewn together. Full assembly directions with illustrations are included.

This pattern was hand designed by a professional artist/crafts person
