Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the following supplies to ensure a smooth and enjoyable crochet experience:

• Yarn: Worsted weight (4) yarn in the following colors:
  • Cream (main body, head, legs, ears)
  • Dusty rose (floral crown and nose)
  • Sage green (antlers)
  • Dark brown (small amount for embroidered eyes)
• Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm (E/4) crochet hook

Note on Gauge: 4 sc x 4 rows = 1 inch. Gauge is not critical for amigurumi, but maintaining consistent tension throughout will ensure your fawn comes out evenly shaped and proportionate.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern is worked in continuous spiral rounds unless otherwise noted. Always use a stitch marker to track the beginning of each round. Do not join rounds unless specified.

Head

Start with cream yarn.

• R1: Magic ring, 6 sc in ring. (6 sts)
• R2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
• R3: (Sc in next st, inc) around. (18 sts)
• R4: (Sc in next 2 sts, inc) around. (24 sts)
• R5-7: Sc in each st around. (24 sts)
• R8: (Sc in next 3 sts, inc) around. (30 sts)
• R9-11: Sc in each st around. (30 sts)
• R12: (Sc in next 4 sts, inc) around. (36 sts)
• R13-15: Sc in each st around. (36 sts)
• R16: (Sc in next 4 sts, dec) around. (30 sts)
• R17: (Sc in next 3 sts, dec) around. (24 sts)
• R18: (Sc in next 2 sts, dec) around. (18 sts)

Stuff firmly with fiberfill, shaping the head as you go.

• R19: (Sc in next st, dec) around. (12 sts)
• R20: Dec around. (6 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a tail. Weave the end through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close. Weave in the end completely.

Body

Start with cream yarn.

• R1: Magic ring, 6 sc in ring. (6 sts)
• R2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
• R3: (Sc in next st, inc) around. (18 sts)
• R4: (Sc in next 2 sts, inc) around. (24 sts)
• R5: (Sc in next 3 sts, inc) around. (30 sts)
• R6-10: Sc in each st around. (30 sts)
• R11: (Sc in next 3 sts, dec) around. (24 sts)
• R12-13: Sc in each st around. (24 sts)
• R14: (Sc in next 2 sts, dec) around. (18 sts)

Stuff firmly with fiberfill.

• R15: (Sc in next st, dec) around. (12 sts)
• R16: Dec around. (6 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing the body to the head. Do not close the opening completely; you'll use this tail for assembly.

Legs (Make 4)

Start with cream yarn.

• R1: Magic ring, 6 sc in ring. (6 sts)
• R2: (Sc in next st, inc) around. (9 sts)
• R3-6: Sc in each st around. (9 sts)

Stuff lightly—the legs should be soft and slightly squishy, not firm.

• R7: (Sc in next st, dec) around. (6 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Repeat to make 4 legs total. Sew the legs to the bottom of the body, spacing them evenly (front left, front right, back left, back right). Ensure they are symmetrical and the fawn sits flat.

Ears (Make 2)

Start with cream yarn.

• R1: Magic ring, 4 sc in ring. (4 sts)
• R2: (Sc in next st, inc) around. (6 sts)
• R3: (Sc in next 2 sts, inc) around. (8 sts)
• R4: Sc in each st around. (8 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a tail. Fold each ear in half (flat) and sew the bottom edge to the top of the head, positioning them slightly to the sides and angled outward. The fold creates a natural ear shape.

Antlers (Make 2)

Using sage green yarn.

• R1: Magic ring, 4 sc in ring. (4 sts)
• R2-4: Sc in each st around. (4 sts)
• R5: (Sc in next st, inc) around. (6 sts)
• R6-7: Sc in each st around. (6 sts)
• R8: (Sc in next 2 sts, inc) around. (8 sts)
• R9-10: Sc in each st around. (8 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Sew the antlers to the top of the head, positioned between the ears. Angle them slightly outward for a natural look. The wider base (from the increases) should sit against the head.

Floral Crown

Using dusty rose yarn.

• Chain 20, slip stitch to form a ring. (Be careful not to twist the chain.)
• Work 5 petals around the ring as follows: (ch 3, 3 dc, ch 3, slip stitch) in the same stitch, skip 1 stitch, repeat from * around until you have 5 petals total.

Fasten off, leaving a tail. Sew the crown onto the head, positioning it between the ears and antlers. The crown should sit like a delicate floral halo. Weave in all ends securely.

Assembly and Finishing Touches

1. Sew the head to the body: Using the long tail left on the body, sew the head to the body with a whip stitch, going through the stitches of both pieces. Ensure the head is centered and securely attached.
2. Embroider the eyes: Using dark brown yarn and a yarn needle, embroider two eyes on the face. A French knot creates a lovely, round eye, or you can use a satin stitch for a flatter look. Position the eyes on R12-13 of the head, about 4-5 stitches apart.
3. Add the nose: Using dusty rose yarn, embroider a small nose with a few straight stitches just below the eyes, centered on the face. A small triangle or oval shape works beautifully.
4. Weave in all ends: Use your yarn needle to hide any remaining tails inside the body or head. Trim any excess yarn.

Your Frostbloom Fawn is complete! Standing approximately 6 inches tall, this soft, huggable companion is ready to bring a touch of winter whimsy to your home or to delight someone special as a handmade gift.
