MADE WITH HOMBYS
Itty Luna Woodland Deer by @lastingloopsbymaddie
Long ears, small pale antlers, and intentionally eyeless faces give these Itty Luna deer a gentle woodland character. Maker @lastingloopsbymaddie shared the pair while testing a pattern by @cozycloudknits.
One deer has a warm coffee-colored body, while the darker companion wears blue overalls. Pale muzzles and little antlers connect the two versions. Their simple facial details keep the focus on the soft chunky stitches and the shape of the ears.
The Maker’s Story
Maddie described testing the Itty Luna deer pattern and highlighted its small size, minimalist look, and the personality added by the overalls. She also thanked HOMBYS for a yarn sample and specifically identified the lighter brown deer as made in HOMBYS “coffee.”

GET THE COLOR STORY
Coordinating Yarn Options
Light Coffee is our suggested store match for the maker’s named coffee color; the caption does not distinguish Light Coffee from other current store shade names. Cream, Dark Coffee, Lake Blue, and Black are visual options for a coordinated interpretation of the pair, with their original brands unconfirmed. No single mixed pack covers all the visible colors accurately, so these are linked separately.
- Light Coffee — suggested match for the lighter deer
- Cream — suggested muzzle and antler color
- Dark Coffee — suggested darker deer body
- Lake Blue — suggested overalls
- Black — suggested nose and mouth
Planning Your Yarn Amount
The original post does not state finished height, gauge, stuffing weight, or yarn consumption. Follow the Itty Luna pattern for the body and overalls, calculate each color separately, and allow small amounts for contrasting details. Linked 8-skein packs are store purchase options, not a requirement to buy one pack per small accent.

YARN PLANNING · REFERENCE ESTIMATE
How much yarn should I prepare?
Quantity status: needs the original pattern.
Shaped, stuffed, wrapped or multi-piece construction cannot be reliably converted from flat area. The original pattern must confirm dimensions, stitch density, piece count and yarn needed in each shade.
| Yarn / color group | Whole-skein planning budget |
|---|---|
| Light Coffee | Pattern-specific quantity required |
| Cream | Pattern-specific quantity required |
| Dark Coffee | Pattern-specific quantity required |
| Lake Blue | Pattern-specific quantity required |
| black | Pattern-specific quantity required |
Use the original pattern’s yarn weight or yardage for each color, then divide by the yarn length / weight on the product label and round up. Do not assume an 8-skein pack will make every item in a group photo.
Before buying: swatch in the intended stitch, measure the finished swatch and yarn used, then scale to your chosen size. The reference size above is an assumption unless marked maker-reported. These figures do not establish the original finished size or actual yarn used.
