I created Jeremy the crochet horse last week for my daughter. This a beginner friendly crochet pattern, and the perfect addition to any pony lover’s amigurumi collection! I’ve used simple stitches in this design, and there are just a handful of color changes to make along the way.

The mane might look gloriously complex, but in reality it’s just a series of neatly looped chain stitches!

Your Kit List:

3.5mm crochet hook
100g brown DK yarn
50g cream DK yarn
16mm safety eyes
2mm crochet hook (optional)
Tapestry needle
Toy safe stuffing

I used hobbii’s friends cotton silk yarn for this pattern, but any DK weight yarn will work just fine. Make sure to check the recommended hook size on the packaging if you use a different brand, and you’ll usually need to size down at least .5mm from that to get nice tight stitches.

You’ll want to have the smaller size yarn needle to pull the loose ends of the mane into the body to hide them, or to leave a long train at the end of your yarn to attach the needle and do the same.
