Notes
- Beginning chains do not count as stitches.
- Where asterisks appear, repeat the instructions between them.
- Where parenthesis appears within the instructions, work all of those stitches in one stitch/space.
- For the edging: use a loose tension to avoid pulling and puckering. If you have difficulty loosening your tension, use a I/9/5.50mm crochet hook for these rows.
- Edging instructions can be found in the “finishing” section.

Thank you for the pattern. I just added the head and I love them.
Your character flatware holders and pot holders are so cute I was hoping you might consider doing one flatware for Buffalo Moose and also one of flatware /pot holders for reindeer. I look for the new ones all the time to see what you are going to come up with next.
Hi Judy!
Those are great suggestions! I do have a Moose pot holder: https://blackstone-designs.com/plaid-moose-pot-holder-free-crochet-pattern/
I should make a matching flatware holder!
