Amusing horse

**Knitted Horse Toy Pattern**: Create Your Own Adorable Plush Equine Companion! Bring joy to your little ones with this delightful knitted horse toy! Perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters, this charming horse stands approximately 7.9 inches (20 cm) tall. The unique feature of this toy is its rotating head and paws, adding interactive fun for imaginative playtime. ### Materials Needed: To craft this knitted horse toy, you’ll need the following materials: - **4 Double-Pointed Needles**: Choose a size that’s suited to your yarn weight. For optimal firmness of your fabric, I recommend using needles one or two sizes smaller than what the yarn package suggests. I used size 2 (3mm). - **Light Brown and Black Wool Yarn**: For the body of the horse, I recommend using Classic Wool Merino by Patons North America. This worsted weight yarn (10 ply, 100% wool) comes with a generous 204 meters (100 grams) to ensure you have enough for your project. - **Chocolate Thick Yarn**: Use this super bulky yarn (70% Acrylic, 30% Wool) for the horse's mane and tail. This yarn adds texture and depth to your finished toy, with 102 meters (100 grams) available. - **Toy Stuffing**: Ensure your horse is plush and cuddly with quality stuffing. - **Plastic Eyes**: For added character and expression, use plastic safety eyes that are appropriate for stuffed toys. - **Yarn Needle**: Handy for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends. - **Stitch Holder**: A helpful tool to keep your stitches organized while working. - **Satin Ribbon**: A small piece of satin ribbon (ranging from 3.9 to 5.9 inches) can be used for decorative purposes, such as a bow around the neck. This easy-to-follow knitted horse toy pattern is perfect for creating a special gift for children or a wonderful collectible for yourself. The combination of soft wool and personal touches will make this horse a beloved companion.
