Rustic and festive, Rudolph sports a set of striped candy cane antlers to complement his red nose. Based off of the Critter Cushions from the February 2018 issue, this adorable Christmas critter is just waiting to adorn your family room sofa.

This cushion is worked in intarsia from the bottom up. Front and back are worked separately before being sewn together and stuffed. Ears are worked flat, lightly stuffed and joined with crochet edging and attached to the cushion. The antlers are worked in the round, stuffed as they are knit before sewing on to the cushion. Then features are added with embroidery.
