Notes

A grand name for a grand horse.

Clarification:
The designer refers to an A5 journal to wrap the yarn around widthwise about 40 x, for the hair strands.
An A5 journal uses the A5 paper size:
~ 5 3/4” x 8 1/4”.
In so doing, one will have 40 strands, 11 1/2 - 12” long, each.

Note:
I used over over 70 wraps for mane and tail strands.

Clarification:
Attach head to body between rows 18 - 24 of the head to the top, open area of the body.

Helpful hint:
The designer has a video on assembling her donkey design and assembly for the horse is the same.

Recommendation:
Directions state to place the tail between rows 8 and 9 of the body. I would place the tail in the row 4 - 5 area.
