Waldorf colored Horses

**Knitting Pattern for Waldorf Colored Horses: Create Your Own Handcrafted Toys** Discover the joy of knitting with our delightful Waldorf Colored Horses pattern! This charming project allows you to create your very own whimsical toys, perfect for both play and decoration. The finished Big Pink Horse stands approximately 11 x 11 inches (28 x 28 cm) tall, while the smaller horses are about 4.3 x 3.5 inches (11 x 9 cm). This knitting pattern is designed for Advanced Beginner Knitters, as it involves working in the round—a method that helps eliminate unsightly seams and enhances the overall appearance of your handmade creations. **Materials Needed:** - **Double-Pointed Needles:** You will need 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. For best results, I recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn suggests to achieve a firm and sturdy fabric. For this pattern, I used US size 000 (1.5 mm) for the small horses and US size 10 (6 mm) for the Big Pink Horse. - **Yarn:** For the colorful horses, I used YarnArt Jeans, a blend of 55% cotton and 45% acrylic (50g = 160m). The vibrant pink yarn for the Big Pink Horse is from Kartopu Tempo, which consists of 25% wool and 75% acrylic (200g = 80m). - **Toy Stuffing:** Ensure your horses are soft and cuddly! - **Yarn Needle:** For weaving in ends and completing your project neatly. - **Stitch Holder:** To help manage your stitches while you knit. All rows are worked in the round, making this project a seamless and enjoyable knitting experience. For those looking to start knitting toys with ease, I provide an online tutorial demonstrating how to use a crochet hook for a cast-on technique from the middle.
