Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

These are just plain adorable, although I do have to admit the reindeer looks a little weird to me. So Ill probably just make the Snowman version. It would be very easy to personalize the Snowman with different colored cuff (how about stripes?), moving the features, adding snowflakes, sparkles, etc. I will probably also deepen the cuff to accommodate a name.

These are so cute and after reading thru the pattern they truly are very easy. And I bet I can transform a reindeer into a puppy so the dog has his own real stocking this year. My only problem is how to make all these great things by the holidays. I figured starting in August was going to be ok but after looking thru the great patterns and ideas here I should have started the day after New Years!
