 Materials and tools Materials and tools

 Yarn (white and black colors) - I crocheted with two strands (only a mane with one
strand) of 100% acrylic yarn "Diva" by Alize and used less than 180m (50g) of all colors
yarns in total.
Weight: Super Fine (1) = Fingering (350m/100g=383yds/3.52Oz).
 Crochet hook – I used Clover 2.75 mm and 2.00 mm (for a mane).
 Stuffing.
 Plastic eyes – I used safety plastic eyes 12 mm in diameter.
 Sewing needle.

The toy is 4 1/2 inches (11-12 cm) tall using the materials mentioned above.

 Look at Gauge section to check if you chose the right yarn.

 Use a stitch marker to track rounds.
Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker
(e.g. a scrap of contrasting color yarn).
 All pieces are made in a spiral unless otherwise stated.

For illustration I used grey and blue yarn instead of black, but for the actual toy you
should use the colors stated above.

 Gauge Gauge
Crochet two swatches using your yarns and matching crochet hooks first to make sure that you
have chosen the right yarn. Instructions for both swatches:
Rnd 1: 6 sc in a magic ring
Rnd 2: 6 inc = 12 sts
Rnd 3: (1 sc, 1 inc) * 6 = 18 sts
Rnd 4: (2 sc, 1 inc) * 6 = 24 sts
Rnd 5: (3 sc, 1 inc) * 6 = 30 sts
Rnd 6: (4 sc, 1 inc) * 6 = 36 sts
Rnd 7: (5 sc, 1 inc) * 6 = 42 sts
Compare your swatches. It should be as in the picture.
If not, take bigger or smaller hooks than you used before (depending on the result) and work
other swatches. If it does not help – choose different yarn and make other swatches.

Please note that you should cut off some black yarn to crochet the nostrils before you start
working the head. I needed approximately 24 inches (60 cm). You can use the second yarn edge
from the center of the skein if you don’t want to cut off yarn.

Use a needle and black yarn to sculpt eye sockets (I used contrasting color yarn for
illustration):
Step 1. Insert the needle into the opening at the back of the head (pic 15).
Step 2. Exit the needle under the right eye on its outer side (pic 16).
Step 3. Insert the needle under the right eye on its inner side (now we have a stitch under the eye).
Step 4. Exit the needle under the left eye on its inner side (pic 17).

Step 5. Insert the needle under the left eye on its outer side (now we have a stitch under the eye)
(pic 18).
Step 6. Repeat step 2; hold the free tail of the yarn and pull the yarn a little to shape the eye socket.

1. Sew the body to the head
Place the body between Rnds 11-12 and 16-17 of the head and sew it with the yarn tail. Place the
body so that the color change line would be on its side (the arm will hide this line) (Picture 31).

4. Sew the mane to the head

Each piece of mane consists of 6 locks which you should sew in 2 rows (3 locks per row).
The first line of one of pieces of mane (black) goes between Rnds 16 and 17 of the head
(between the years). Sew it with yarn tail (3 locks along this line). Turn the mane and sew
3 more locks between Rnds 17 and 18 making the second line (pic 40).
Continue with the white piece of mane and sew the rest of the mane pieces using the same
method and changing colors. All in all you should have 14 lines (pics 41-42).

 5. Make the tail Assembling

You can make the tail using any method you like (by chaining as many sts as you need, or by
tying macramé knots, or by using any other method).
I did it using macramé technique by tying right half knots (see Diagram 2) to form a spiral.
Cut several pieces of yarn of black and white colors (I cut 8 inches (20 cm) long each) and
attach them at the place where you ran the yarn tail out at the center back between Rnds 6 and 7 of
the body.
Make sure the edge strands are different colors (pic 46). Tie 8-10 right half knots. You will end
up with a spiral. Tie a firm knot at the end of the spiral. Trim the tail and brush up the ends.

6. Attach the arms to the body

Option 1: pic 48
Place the arms symmetrically on both sides of the body and sew
the arms between Rnds 17 and 18 using tails of yarn (pic 48). Rnd 18

Rnd 17
Option 2:
If you want hands to be movable, you can use button joints
(see Diagram 3).
OR using the same method, but without buttons.
