PATTERN ONLY!
PATTERN is in US English!
This is NOT a completed item! It is the PATTERN for you to make the item YOURSELF. It pains me that I have to say this on a website for patterns, but here we are.

If you purchase this, the P A T T E R N will be immediately available for you to download as a 28-page PDF file. You will get NOTHING in the mail. If you want a hard copy, you can print it. The digital document explains how to make these seven (7) different horses. It includes the written instructions as well as lots of step-by-step photos to help with assembly, as well as suggestions for additional custom horses.

Gold Ship, Mejiro McQueen, Oguri Cap, Rice Shower, Symboli Rudolf, Haru Urara, Manhattan Cafe.

These are fake horses based on horse girls based on real horses. They are a suitable BEGINNER project, BUT this pattern will NOT teach you how to crochet. It’s a good way to put new skills to use. You need to know the techniques required or be willing/capable of looking them up and learning them because (again) the pattern does not teach them. There are no exceptionally difficult skills involved, but there is a fair amount of assembly, which sometimes requires a bit of trial and error. Luckily, crochet is very forgiving.
Feel free to make changes/modify the pattern to make different horses or improve my horses. Patterns are just suggestions, and there is a lot of room for customization with these horses!

TOOLS AND MATERIALS
• Size F crochet hook
• One (1) stitch marker – optional but recommended to mark your rounds
• Yarn needle
• Pins to hold pieces in place while attaching – I use bobby pins!
• Worsted weight yarn in desired colors – there are some suggested colors in this pattern, but the colors are UP TO YOU. Hence the customizable part.
o You should not need more than 364 yds (333 m) of any color for a single horse, even if making a solid colored horse.
• Two (2) black safety eyes, 3/4-inch/20mm or whatever size you prefer
o You can also use buttons, embroidery or felting
• Stuffing material
• OPTIONAL: weighted stuffing material and something to hold it – if you like weighted things or if you plan to position the head higher up. The heads are big and the horses may tip forward without a little extra weight at their butt end (fyi cheap nylon footy stockings work great for holding weighted pellets)
• MORE OPTIONAL: black embroidery floss and embroidery needle – for extra details on the face like eyelashes

Gauge: approx. 4 sts/inch and 4 sc rows/inch, but gauge isn’t that important for plushies.

A finished horse measures about 11” from nose to butt, not counting the tail.
