This knitting pattern includes instructions for making a horse approximately 6–7 cm (2.4–2.8 inches) tall and 8–9 cm (3.1–3.5 inches) long.

The toy is knitted in the round on double-pointed needles. Legs are knitted directly into the body. Ears are knitted flat and sewn on. Mane and tail are attached using a crochet hook and a needle.

Language: English and Russian.

Finished size: approx. 6–7 cm / 2.4–2.8 in tall, 8–9 cm / 3.1–3.5 in long.
Final size may vary depending on yarn choice and knitting tension.

Yarn:
• Yarn with yardage approx. 250–300 m / 100 g
• Alize Angora Gold (used double strand)
• Alize Cashmira (for hooves)
Smooth yarn can be used for clearer stitch definition, while fluffy yarn gives a softer texture. Using two strands helps achieve a denser fabric suitable for small toys.

Needles:
• Double-pointed needles 2.5 mm
Hook:
• 1.5-2 mm for picking up stitches

Skill level:
Intermediate.
