A blog about knitting, making things & life with a black Labrador called Mollie
Meet Nigel.
Nigel, as you may have gathered is a reindeer.
He’s crocheted arigumi style, and was, I have to say, a very easy make. You just had to get on and do it! He’s destined for my friend Josh, who I hope will like him a lot.
Pattern: Arigumi Reindeer by Millionbells
Yarn: Countrystyle DK
Hook: 3.75
He just seemed like a Nigel. And now that’s his name.

Love it! Agree the name ‘Nigel’ suits him somehow:)

Yes, ludicrous but it just occurred to me that was his name!

I had nothing for the guesses part and a reindeer would never have made the possibilities list! He’s very cute and I have a daughter who likes him very much – apparently she is a quiet follower of your blog. I’ll hunt down the pattern for her as this Christmas crocheting is the next thing for her to learn now she has mastered knitting. And ‘Nigel’ suits him 🙂

I’m glad you both like him 😊 – he’s arigumi, so very simple, just single crochet (US terms) in a spiral. Xx

Nigel is absolutely perfect! It will be a much loved gift. I thought it was originally going to be a moose—my down eastern life style is showing through. Then I thought, “I don’t think they have moose in England.”

We don’t have moose OR reindeer! Just ordinary deer that are A LOT bigger than reindeer! I saw some last year & reindeer are really small!
