Oh that's great!! My other passion is horses and we currently have 8. I had been looking for a good horse pattern, quick and easy to do to gift to each of my daughters little girlfriends that also ride.. I see customized colored ponies in the very near future!!

 

You may want to shorten the neck by one row, my daughter keeps telling everyone that it is a giraffe!!

Horses mane

You will need several pieces of yarn, cut into approx. 6 inch pieces. Each piece of yarn will act as 2 strands of hair. I used 2 6 inch strands at a time.

Insert hook into horses head. Grab middle of yard strand with hook and pull through stitch, ( Like you would latch hook!) making a small loop. Pull both free ends of yarn strand through loop, pulling tight to secure hair.

You will continue to do this down back of horses neck, and I did 2 in front of head.

Trim hair evenly, or as desired.

Sew eyes on. ( I used 1/8†doll eye buttons)

Halter

With scrap piece of yarn, circle nose of horse with yarn. (I tied small knots to keep yarn in place. Also circle horses head with same yarn.

Tie and snip ends.

Enjoy your horse!
