Substituting with continuous rounds or working increases in different positions may result in an unbalanced reindeer or a wonky face. Invisible join finishing method:

We’ll be working in joined rounds to keep everything balanced, using a technique to blend in our joins. To do this, we’ll ch1 at the beginning of rounds, skip our first stitch of the round, and work it at the end of the round over the ch1 instead. Using the recommended chunky/bulky weight yarn, the finished baubles measure approximately 4.5″/11.5cm wide (ear tip to ear tip), and approximately 4”/10cm tall (antler tip to base) with a head diameter of 2.5″/6cm. mr) Magic Ring, ( ch) Chain, ( ch sp) Chain Space, ( sl st) Slip Stitch, ( sc) Single Crochet, ( hdc) Half Double Crochet, ( inc) Increase – 2sc in the same stitch, ( dec) Decrease (invisible) – hook through the front loops only of the next 2 stitches and work a sc.

This should leave a space of 9 stitches in between the 2 ears.When switching colours after working the muzzle, we’ll be finishing with an invisible join for a neat finish as follows:
