HELPFUL TIPS
I’ve used a smaller crochet hook then recommended for my yarn to help keep the stitches tight, whatever yarn you use adjust your hook size accordingly.
The neck, body and legs are all crocheted as one piece, make sure you stuff this area firmly to help your
Horse stand tall.
Pay close attention when attaching the legs to make the body, all the toes should be facing forward. I have explained this in detail in the pattern.
