Edge stool reindeer with crochet sleigh for filling

Are the two Kantenhocker reindeer still waiting for the Christ Child so that it can finally start - or are the two just taking a little, well-deserved break after their long tour?

The crochet sleigh to fill with the two Kantenhocker reindeer is suitable as a Christmas gift and also as a gift or souvenir after Christmas and makes a loved one certainly a lot of joy.

The reindeer and the sleigh can be easily crocheted even by beginners with a little practice and used for decoration in many ways.

The luggage compartment of the sleigh offers plenty of space for nicely wrapped gifts, a chocolate Santa Claus, a bag of truffles, chocolates or homemade cookies. To have even more space available for this, the sleigh can also be worked without the bench.
