These quaint little deer won’t nibble at your garden, but they’re sure to tug at your heartstrings!

Inspired by trophy-style taxidermy mounts one might find in museums and private natural history collections, Wall Beasts are charming and beautiful knit sculptures. Miniature versions of their namesakes, these tailored creatures can easily be scaled up or down depending on the yarn used.

Oh Deer is approximately 3.5’’ tall x 3.5’’ long x 1.75’’ diameter using worsted weight yarn on US 3 knitting needles.

This is an intermediate level knitting pattern that utilizes techniques like knitting in the round, short row shaping and picking up stitches.

One deer requires very little yarn, about 50 yards, making these darling beasties great stash busters!

Illustrations are provided for additional clarification of techniques and materials.

Instructions are given for making forward, right and left facing deer.
