She needed:
- acrylic threads for the body;
- purple for the mane;
- white for the muzzle;
- black and blue for the eyes, just a little;
- padding polyester for stuffing;
- hook No. 3;
- scissors;
- needle.
The whole horse is knitted in single crochet stitches. You can knit in a spiral, without emphasizing the beginning of the row, or in even rows. But then the oblique connection will be visible on the canvas. First we knit the muzzle. We start with an amigurumi loop, knit 6 single crochet loops into it, and connect. In each row we increase by 6 stitches. We expand to 30, this is 3 rows of expansion and we knit another 6 rows without changes. Then we change the thread to pink and expand the fabric to 36 loops. We knit 6 rows without increasing and begin to decrease 6 loops per row, bringing their number to 6. Fill the head with padding polyester and tighten the thread.
We knit the neck in the same way as the beginning of the muzzle, which is knitted with white threads.
The body is knitted similarly to the muzzle, only we expand the fabric to 36 loops (5 rows). Then we knit 20 rows without adding, and begin to decrease 6 loops in reverse order. Before closing the loops, fill the body and tighten the thread, leaving 15 cm to tie the tail.
We knit the legs. We start with an amigurumi ring, into which we knit 6 loops, and then expand the fabric by 3 rows to 24 loops. Then we knit 4 rows without changes with white thread. Cut a circle out of cardboard and place it on the base of the hoof for rigidity. Change the thread to pink and continue knitting another 20 rows. We break the thread. Leaving an end of 20 cm for sewing on the leg, and then stuffing it with padding polyester. We knit all the legs the same way.
Pink ears are easy to knit. We start with 8 loops in the amigurumi ring, then in the second row we knit two in each loop. We knit another 6 rows without adding.
Sew the ears to the muzzle.
We make tightening under the eyes. Embroider a pink mouth
We tie several loops with thread and a needle to create nostrils.
Sew the neck to the body with the closed end up.
Then we sew on the muzzle. Here you need to try to give her the pose you want.
Sew on the legs. Here you can sew them splayed and straight as you wish.
Now the eyes. We collect 6 loops into the amigurumi ring using black threads. We break off and continue to knit the second row with blue ones, increasing the number of loops by 2 times. Using pink threads we separately knit three rows of the expansion circle. Then we sew the pupil onto the pink field, slightly moving it to one side of the white circle. We embroider highlights on the eyes. Then along the contour we sew them to the muzzle in the tightening areas.
We already have such a nice horse.
Now we make skeins from purple yarn in two sizes - for the tail and mane. Longer for the tail.
Visually divide each skein in half and sew along this line. We tie the tail in the center and twist it again with the same thread that we left so that it is slightly raised. We sew the mane along the neck, cut the bangs and straighten them. We tie a beaded bell around the neck.
If the horse seems too shaggy to you, then the mane can be spread out on two sides or braided.
Thanks to the glare, the eyes turned out alive and radiant.
Now she is ready to play with your children.
It can be given to any child, bringing him joy.
