Gift Horse Pony Toy

Knit a fully-poseable, cuddly horse toy using our easy-to-follow knitting pattern featuring baby-blue yarn. This delightful project makes a wonderful creative gift for a horse enthusiast or anyone special in your life.

Our comprehensive, illustrated knitting pattern guides you through creating a soft toy horse equipped with a charming red plaited woolly tail and button joints. This adorable horse toy is not only visually appealing but also serves as an ideal gift for horse lovers of all ages. The pattern incorporates basic knit and purl stitches, along with increasing and decreasing techniques. With fully illustrated instructions, you’ll be taken step by step through the process of knitting, assembling, and decorating your new pony companion.

The finished horse measures approximately 20cm x 20cm and is designed to be fully poseable, allowing it to sit, stand, or even lie down, making it an eye-catching addition to any bedroom shelf or playroom decor. This project is suitable for knitters with some experience seeking to enhance their skills.

For this project, we recommend using a 50g ball of Sirdar Snuggly 100% Merino yarn in color 71 Lagoon. However, you can also craft the horse using any DK or 4 ply weight yarn, such as Sirdar Snuggly DK in Sky or Sirdar Snuggly Soothing DK in Baby Blue. You'll also need a couple of meters of Hayfield Bonus Chunky in Signal Red 977 for the tail, along with 3mm knitting needles, toy stuffing for that cuddly feel, and buttons to bring your horse to life.

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or an eager beginner, this charming horse toy is a perfect project for honing your skills while creating a treasured keepsake. Share your love for knitting by making this delightful horse toy for someone special or as a lovely addition to your own collection!
