Horse Pony Rug Knitting Pattern Snoo's Knits

Keep your toy horse warm and stylish with one of these delightful knitted rugs! This simple yet charming pattern is perfect for fitting the popular Snoo’s Knits horse pattern or the nostalgic old-style My Little Pony figures. If you have larger toy horses, you can easily adapt the design by using chunkier wool to create a bigger, cozier rug for them.

Difficulty Level: Easy

Stitches Used: This pattern incorporates basic stitches: kfb (knit front and back), k2tog (knit two together), and p2tog (purl two together).

You Will Need:

• Wool: 20g of each colour. We recommend using Double Knit yarn [8-6 ply, “light worsted”] for the best results. To ensure that your rug fits perfectly, check that your tension square measures 10cm x 10cm, which should be 24 stitches across and 32 rows high.
• Knitting Needles: For this project, I used UK size 11 [3.0mm, US size 2.5] knitting needles.
• Blunt Sewing Needle: Choose one with an eye large enough to thread your wool comfortably.
• Stitch Holder or Spare Needle: This will come in handy for holding stitches while you work.
• Fastening: You can use various fastenings like a popper [press stud, snap fastener], hook-and-eye closure, or a small button to secure your rug around your toy horse.
• Needle and Thread: An ordinary needle combined with matching thread is necessary to attach your chosen fastening securely.
• Optional Decorative Elements: If you’d like to personalize your rug, consider adding a small decoration to enhance its appearance.

Follow this easy knitting pattern to create a beautiful rug that will not only keep your toy horse warm but will also add an extra touch of charm to their collection. Happy knitting!
