The crochet reindeer ornament is a free pattern that you can view on my blog down below.
Day 10 of the 12 Days of Christmas Crochet Ornaments is this reindeer!
This little reindeer is a perfect addition to the other ornaments so far! I opted for a red nose because my son loves Rudolph and I knew he would appreciate it.
