Chardonnay the Palomino Pony is the first horse to join Kerry Lord’s menagerie of crochet animals, and remains a favourite more than ten years later. This easy pattern is perfect for levelling up your beginner crochet skills with techniques like changing colour. Palomino horses are known for their distinctive golden coat and blonde mane and tail, which are captured perfectly with TOFT’s shades of ‘Camel’ and ‘Oatmeal’ respectively.

This soft toy will look at home in the nursery, sitting on the shelf or lovingly gift-wrapped for the loved ones in your life. Once you’ve finished crocheting Chardonnay the Palomino Pony, you’ll be ready to start the next animal in the collection with this addictive new hobby!

TOFT’s Edward’s Menagerie collection is a series of crochet amigurumi toys designed by Kerry Lord.
