About this pattern

A brown reindeer standing on the snow beside a snow-tipped pine tree. Its body is seen from the side and its face is turned to look straight at you, with dark branching antlers, two ears lined in pale gold, dark eyes with a white glint, and a white muzzle with a dark nose. It has four straight legs, the far ones a darker brown, and a short white tail. The pine is dark green, in three tiers on a brown trunk, with pale blue-gray snow on its top and on the tip of every bough, and a strip of snow two rows deep runs under both.

64 stitches wide by 45 high: 1,254 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Hazelnut Brown 420, Dark Blue Green 501 and 5 more).
