Crochet Reindeer Pattern

Skill Level

Advanced beginners. This crochet reindeer pattern is made using the corner to corner (c2c) stitch pattern method. It involves color changes.

Finished Size

My crochet reindeer square measures 17″ by 17″.

Gauge

8 squares (ch 3 + 3 dc) = 4 inches

Crochet Terms

dc = double crochet
sc = single crochet
ch/chs = chain/chains
st/sts = stitch/stitches
sl st = slip stitch

C2C Crochet Technique

The pattern is made using the c2c technique. You make “squares” in diagonal rows starting in one corner and ending in the opposite corner.
Each square is made of a chain 3 + 3 double crochet.
Chain 6 to start a new row and chain 3 to start a new square.
You can follow the picture graph or the written pattern.
The written pattern tells you how many squares to make of each color and in what order.
