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.
