Everyone’s heard of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and his pals Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid and Donner kebab. Meanwhile Rudolph’s cousin Raymond isn’t so familiar. Reindeer have long held the honour as crochet Christmas doorstops. Oh yes they have!

It’s been the red nosed Raymond and Rudolph’s family duty to guard the gates to the North Pole since snow was invented. They get too cold without a Christmas jumper, so invented that tradition too. Not a lot of people know that. We’re continuing the Christmas tradition and made an amigurumi Raymond Reindeer and his Christmas jumper doorstopper in The Red Nosed reindeer family honour.

Barry is part of a gang of 3 doorstop Christmas crochet patterns. What would the Festivities be without a Brussels sprout! Nor would it be Yuletide without a flaming amigurumi crochet Christmas pudding holding the door open for Father Christmas.

Did you know?

You cannot tell how old a reindeer is by cutting it in half and counting the rings. It only works for trees. They do however enjoy eating hallucinogenic fly agaric mushrooms. No wonder they can fly!
