The pattern will consist of two parts:

Part One | Head, Eyes, Spikes & Nose (Sun, 16 Feb at 17:00GMT)

Part Two | Body, Belly & Fin (Sun, 23 Feb at 17:00GMT)

Horsea is approximately 10cm tall, the body is 3cm in width and the head is 7cm in width (from spike to spike).

Weight: 15g (this includes all materials used to make Horsea. For reference one ball of Stylecraft Special DK is 100g, so as you can see you will only need a very small amount of yarn)

• 2mm hook

• Stylecraft Special DK in Sherbet and Cream (Shiny: Jade and Cream)

• 6.5mm black oval safety eyes

• White and Red felt

• Toy filling

• Pins to place pieces before sewing together

• Needle

• Stitch markers (I prefer using scrap yarn as “stitch markers”)

• Fibres in Black for needle felting*

• Needle felting tool*

• Please note that I have used needle felting to create the tip of Horsea’s nose. Needle felting is still quite new to me so I will not be including instructions on how to do this. You may want to look into alternative ways of adding this detail, i.e black felt and glue.
