The Red Nosed Reindeer Wall Hanging Crochet Pattern

Whose the most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph of course, but for copyright reasons we will refer to him simply as the red nosed reindeer. With that being said let me introduce you to The Red Nosed Reindeer Wall Hanging crochet pattern!

Nothing like the first holiday pattern of the season to get you in the holiday spirit. Halloween may be my favorite holiday but Christmas is a close second. Other than the overwhelming holiday cheer and good tidings the season brings the movies aren’t half bad either.

If you haven’t already guessed who my favorite reindeer is it’s the one with the glorious red nose. It also just so happens to be my favorite Christmas movie so it only seemed fitting that I would design a wall hanging honoring my favorite reindeer. With that being said let me let you guys get to work because the holidays will be here before you know it.

Happy Crocheting!

Materials

*4.50 mm Crochet Hook

Weight 4 / Worsted Weight Yarn (yarn I used is listed below)

*35 mm Pom Pom Maker

*Yarn Needle

*Scissors

Wooden Branch or *Dowel Rod

*Hand Steamer (optional)

Yarn Choice

For most of my wall hanging patterns I prefer to use a thicker and tighter spun worsted weight yarn. I feel like it gives a lot more definition to the piece and details tend to stand out more. I really don’t focus too much on the texture of the yarn because I steam every single one of my wall hangings, which softens the piece and makes it more flexible and flowy. This is especially helpful for tighter crocheters. The brands I tend to gravitate the most towards are Red Heart Super Saver, Loops & Threads Impeccable and We Crochet Brava Worsted.

For this wall hanging I used the following yarn:

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Cream-approx. 100 yards

_We Crochet Brava Worsted in Sienna-approx. 20 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Red-approx. 5 yards

Stitch Key (US Terms)

Ch = Chain

St/sts = Stitch(es)

Sc = Single Crochet

Color Abbreviations

CR = Cream

S = Sienna

Special Notes

-The wall hanging is worked in rows.

-The wall hanging is worked from the bottom up.

-The 1st st of each row should be placed into the same stitch as the turning chain.

-The turning chain does not count as the 1st stitch of the row.

-The pattern is written as: # of single crochet stitches (color abbreviation), example: 8 (CR) means 8 sc in Cream.

-The odd rows are the right side rows. Even rows will be the wrong side.

-The pom pom nose is made with a pom pom maker and woven in after the piece is finished.

Dimensions: 10 inches wide x 9.5 inches long (not including fringe)

Gauge: 16 stitches x 19 rows = 4 inch square worked in single crochet.

Attaching the Fringe

To create the fringe cut 12 inch pieces of yarn in Cream. You will need 3 strands to complete 1 fringe.

To attach the fringe, grab 3 strands of yarn in White. With a crochet hook, push the hook through the far left foundation chain. Fold the 3 strands of yarn in half, looping the middle of the strands onto the crochet hook.

Fold the strands through the loop.

Tighten to create the fringe.

Repeat for every other foundation chain.

Hanging the Project

To attach the project to a dowel rod or tree branch; using a yarn needle, weave the tail over the dowel/branch and back under into the 1st stitch on the top of the wall hanging.

Repeat for each stitch on top of the wall hanging. Knot off and weave in your ends.

To hang the project, drill 2 small holes on either side of the branch/dowel. Thread through both holes with cotton yarn and knot off both ends. Trim the excess yarn. (Feel free to use your preferred method of hanging the project)

To create the red nose use a 35 mm pom maker with red yarn. Trim the pom into a circular shape and attach pom onto the piece by weaving/tying the tails in between the 7th and 8th rows.

ENJOY!
