The fourth and final square in my Christmas in July Corner-to-Corner Crochet Series is here, and this sweet little reindeer completes our festive cast of holiday friends!
With rosy cheeks, adorable antlers, and a sweet smile, this reindeer is ready to help Santa prepare for Christmas. I went back and forth about giving him a bright red nose, but ultimately decided on a classic brown nose. Of course, if you’d rather make Rudolph, simply swap in red yarn and he’ll be ready to lead Santa’s sleigh!
Now that all four character squares are complete, I can’t wait to show you how they’ll come together into one whimsical Christmas blanket.
What is Corner-to-Corner Crochet?
If you’re new to Corner-to-Corner (C2C) crochet, it’s a fun and highly addictive technique that turns pixel-style graphs into beautiful textured crochet pieces. You’ll start in one corner of the design (typically the lower right) and work diagonally in rows toward the opposite corner. Each pixel square represents one block made up of a chain 2 + 3 half double crochets (HDC). I prefer using HDC instead of double crochet for a slightly tighter, neater stitch. C2C is a great way to bring character designs, icons, and seasonal motifs to life!
Before you get started, below is a Corner-to-Corner Video Tutorial if you need some help with the technique:
Fun Fact: One of the best things about C2C crochet is that it’s completely reversible! The back of your project becomes a mirror image of the front, so both sides are beautiful depending on how you’d like to display your finished piece.
Three Ways to Follow the Pattern
Everyone has their favorite way to crochet, so I’ve included several options.
- >>> Reindeer Color Block Chart <<<
- >>> Reindeer Written Color Changes <<<
- >>> Reindeer Pixel Graph <<<
Use whichever method works best for you!
Materials:
– Size H crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Red Heart Super Saver in:
- Buff Beige (snout)
- Café Latte (head)
- Coffee Brown (antlers and nose)
- Black (eyes and smile)
- Perfect Pink (rosy cheeks)
- Lush Green or Spring Green (background)
Want to make Rudolph instead? Simply swap the dark brown nose for red!
Originally, I planned to use Red Heart Super Saver in Spring Green for the background, but I discovered I didn’t have quite enough left in my yarn stash. Luckily, Bernat Super Value in Lush Green was a great substitute and gives this little reindeer a bright, festive backdrop!
Finished Size: This square measures approximately 18 x 18 inches, making it the same size as the Penguin, Snowman, and Gingerbread C2C Square and ready to join with the rest of the series.
A Fun Idea...
As I was designing this little guy, I couldn’t help but imagine an entire blanket featuring all nine of Santa’s reindeer! Just think: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen… and of course Rudolph with his famous red nose. Wouldn’t that make the cutest Christmas blanket?
The Christmas Crew is Complete!

I absolutely love how these four squares look together, and I hope you’ve enjoyed stitching along with me.
Although our Christmas in July series is spilling over into August, that’s actually the perfect time to start a holiday project! You’ll have plenty of time to crochet, join the squares, and finish your blanket well before Christmas decorating season begins.
Stay tuned!! I’ll be sharing the joining instructions and final blanket assembly next so you can turn these four festive friends into one cozy Christmas throw.

The 18 x 18 inch size is perfect for matching the other Christmas squares. I appreciate the detailed options for different crochet patterns, especially the choice of a pixel graph for visual learners.
What a beautiful Christmas crochet idea! I love how festive the reindeer design is. Christmas wishes can look even more special when written in stylish text—it adds a creative touch to holiday greetings, cards, and social media posts. Merry Christmas! ✨
I can’t believe how generous it is to offer three different pattern options for this! I’m a visual learner so the pixel graph works perfectly for me, I’m already gathering my yarn to make the Rudolph version.
I love that you went with a classic brown nose instead of the obvious red one—it gives this reindeer a sweet, understated look. The rosy cheeks and antlers make him feel so festive, and the option to swap in red yarn for Rudolph is a clever touch. As the final square in the Christmas in July series, he ties the set together perfectly. Thanks for sharing the pattern details!

For a reindeer design, you can use a 25×25 grid to create crisp details while keeping the size suitable for a crocheted blanket or pillow.
Fourth square, HDC C2C, and the brown nose instead of Rudolph red is the choice that keeps him a friend and not a cartoon. One square photo hides the antlers. I cut the photo into a numbered grid so the antlers stay readable. That’s the job ImageSplit does in the browser — numbered cells, no upload.
The classic brown nose is such a charming choice for this reindeer, though the option to switch to red yarn for a Rudolph version is a fun touch. I also love that this square completes the festive holiday friend collection.
