Oh dear, Rudolf! Christmas blanket

 

Oh dear, Rudolf Christmas blanket

 

Add a dash of festive mischief to your knitting with this charming blanket starring none other than Rudolf the Reindeer—caught in a clumsy moment as he tumbles right on top of a shiny Christmas bauble!

This playful design captures Rudolf mid-fall, his little hooves in the air and a surprised expression on his face, all while perched awkwardly on a glittering ornament. Whether it was too much excitement or a slippery rooftop, this scene brings laughter and warmth to your holiday season.

Ideal as a baby blanket, a festive lap throw, or a whimsical Christmas décor piece, this pattern is a joy to knit and even more delightful to gift.
