Hello creative souls!
Step into the magical world of forest creatures with this Cute Crochet Deer Amigurumi, lovingly designed by Tatyana Kazantseva (VK: @knitt.edhappiness). With its sweet expression, embroidered eyelashes, and soft little muzzle, this gentle deer is the perfect blend of charm and coziness—an ideal handmade gift or a whimsical addition to any amigurumi collection.

Tatyana used a soft yarn called Children’s Novelty for her original design, but feel free to use alternatives like YarnArt Jeans for a similar soft and velvety texture. To bring your deer to life, you’ll also need some white yarn for detailing the muzzle and limbs, a contrasting thread for embroidering the nose and eyelashes, 14 mm safety eyes, and a 2.5 mm crochet hook to achieve that snug, plush finish.

A huge thank-you to Tatyana for sharing this delightful pattern with fellow crochet lovers! And be sure to scroll to the end of the post—there you’ll find a curated collection of inspiring Amigurumi Deer ideas to fuel your next creative adventure.
