Min ældste nevø spurgte allerede i sommers om næste ønske efter rensdyrhovedet, og det var så lille et ønske, at han ikke behøvede at vente 7 år til......
Så jeg gik i gang med relativt tykt, rødt garn til for små pinde, og så tog jeg ellers ud som jeg syntes det passede, og strikkede så langt jeg orkede.

My oldest nephew told me his next wish after the reindeer head already in the summer, and the wish is so small that I don't think he should wait another 7 years......
So I cast on using relatively heavy, red yarn for too small needles, and then I increased as I thought would be right and knit for as far as I had the energy for. 

Heldigvis passede den rimeligt godt! Den dækker både næse og mund, men det må de leve med.

Fortunately, it fit quite well! It covers both the nose and mouth, but they'll have to live with that. 

Så nu kan hovedet så hænge der med sin store, røde næse hele december, og så kan de ellers blive positivt overraskede når de engang tager den af igen, og ser det fine hæklearbejde indenunder.....
Garnet er uspecificeret rødt bomuldsgarn strikket på pind 2,5, og den vejer 20 gram. Jeg syede en elastik på indersiden i kanten, så den kunne sidde fast.

And so the head can hang on the wall with the big, red nose through all of December, and after that, they can take of the nose and look at the very pretty crocheted details underneath.....
The yarn is some cotton, I used size 2.5 needles, and it weighs 20 grams. I sewed an elastic band on the edge on the inside to make it stay put.
