Oshawott the Otter Reindeer




According to the song, all of the Otter Reindeer used to laugh and call Rudolph names. That’s pretty hypocritical, seeing as they also have bright red noses. And anyway, who’s ever heard of an Otter Reindeer!?

Even if they are a little rude, they are still cute! I hope you enjoy this Pokemon Christmas Crochet pattern!

Assembly Notes

Antlers: attach the short branches to one side of the long branch, spanning approximately R4-R5 on the long branch.

Head: I strongly recommend pinning all pieces to the head before sewing on. The antlers are placed at the top of the head at approximately R2. Then, the ears are placed to either side of the antlers, leaving only about one row of space (or even less/half a row) in between. The nose is attached to the front of the head, just below R5. The eyes were made by Needle Felting Loose Yarn ends, and the mouth and freckles with embroidery.

Body: Sew the entire head onto the body, the arms to either side of the head (below the neck frills) and feet and tail at the bottom of the body (the feet and tail are what balance Oshawott to to sit.) Finally sew the star in between the arms- placing all body parts as shown in the pictures.
