Knit a mini horse with this easy pattern accessible to beginners. You could knit one for a farmyard, a Noah’s Ark, a Cowboys-and-Indians set or as a pony friend for a knitted doll.

We have separate patterns for a rider, saddle & bridle, saddle-blankets and rugs - check our other Snoo’s Knits listings.
