For this pattern we will be working in the round, using a stitch marker at the beginning or end of each round will help to keep track of which round you are on. Slowly stuff as you go, you will want your amigurumi to be firm but not stretched.
We will start with the legs, which will then be joined to form the body. We use our 3.5mm crochet hook for each part below with the exception of the scarf.
Legs and Body
Make 2, starting with dark brown
Round 1: Create a magic circle with 6 SC
Round 2: SC INC in each st (12)
Round 3: SC in the first st, SC INC in the next, rep around (18)
Round 4: SC in the first 2 sts, SC INC in the next, rep around (24)
Round 5: SC in the first 3 sts, SC INC in the next, rep around (30)
Round 6: SC in the back loops only (30)
Rounds 7-8: SC around (30)
Round 9: SC in the first 9 sts, INV DEC 6 times, SC in the last 9 sts (24)
Round 10: SC in the first 6 sts, INV DEC 6 times, SC in the last 6 sts (18)
Change to pant color
Rounds 11-23: SC around (18)
Fasten off on the first leg only. At the end of round 23 on the 2nd leg complete a SC in each of the next 7 stitches (this will line up our feet to be straight when we join).
Round 24: Chain 3 and attach to the first leg with a SC (make sure that both feet are facing the same direction), SC in the remaining stitches around the leg. When you reach the chain make a SC across each of the 3 chains, SC in the remaining stitches of the next leg and SC across each of the 3 chains again. You will have SC on both sides of the chain now, this completes your join and is where your next round will start. (42)
Joining the legs can be the hardest part of the pattern but once you have it down you’ll fly through this step each time! The chain of 3 acts as a bridge to connect the two legs into one piece.

Round 32: SC in the back loops only (42)

Bow (For Millie)
Working in a magic circle make 4DC, slip stitch, 4DC an slip stitch again. Pull your string tight and wrap it around the middle of the bow 3-4 times. Tie/secure in the back and cut your string leaving a long section to sew with.

Assembling the Head
1. Sew the antlers onto the head starting at the 5th round and ending at the 9th round on each side.
2. Sew the ears on just below the antlers.
3. If you are making Millie attach your bow onto the desired side.
Final Assembly
1. Sew the head onto the body, making sure to have the facial features centered. Be sure to add stuffing as you go to keep the neck firm.
2. Next, sew the arms onto the body centered with the head at round 44.
3. If you are making Miles fold or tie your scarf around the neck.
