Gift & styling ideas

• Tree ornament: make the DK version and add a hanging loop.
• Cuddly gift: the chenille version makes a soft Christmas plush.
• Keychain: a small DK reindeer can be clipped to keys or a bag for the season.
• Holiday trio: pair him with the LoopSouk penguin and gingerbread bear.

Care tips for your finished make

• Spot clean first. For small amigurumi, a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap is usually all you need. Dab, don't scrub.
• Hand wash if needed. Use cool water, squeeze gently (no wringing), roll in a towel and let it air dry in shape, away from radiators and strong sun.
• Fluff it back up. Once dry, give it a gentle squeeze and reshape so the stuffing settles evenly.
• Always check your yarn label: the fibre you choose decides how it can be washed.
• Little ones: safety eyes and small parts are a choking hazard, so finished pieces with safety eyes aren't for children under 3. Many makers embroider the eyes instead for baby gifts.
