We’ve reached the final stage of our festive adventure! With the body and all four legs complete, it’s time to add those all-important finishing details. In this part, we’ll be working on the antlers and eyes, giving our character the expression and personality that bring the whole project to life. 🦌✨

We’re nearly there! With three legs in place, your festive friend is almost ready to stand proudly on all fours. In this part, we’ll be adding the right front leg, completing the full set. 🦌 Once this step is finished, your character will have all four legs crocheted on — a huge milestone in the CAL!

With both hind legs complete, our festive friend can finally stand tall — but now it’s time to bring balance to the front. In this part, we’ll be adding the front left leg, which has a slightly different contour than the back legs to give your character a more natural shape. 🦌

Your festive friend has already taken its first step — and now it’s time for the other! In this part, we’ll be adding the right hind leg, working it up just like the one you completed in Part 5. 🦌 Thanks to surface crochet, there’s still no sewing involved, so this section will be quick and straightforward.

With the head and body complete, our festive friend is really starting to take shape. In this part, we’ll be adding the left hind leg — and the best part is, there’s no sewing involved! 🎉 We’ll be using surface crochet to build the leg directly onto the body, making it quick, sturdy, and seamless.

We’ve been building piece by piece, and now it’s time for a big step forward. In this part, we’ll be finishing both the head and the body — the foundation of our festive character! With these two sections complete, the mystery will feel much closer to being solved… can you already guess who it might be? 👀

Look how far we’ve come! In Part 1 and 2, we began shaping the head of our surprise Christmas character — and now those features are starting to give the first real clues. 👀 Can you guess what this festive friend might be?
