Notes

Asked to make a horse plush.
Unicorn.

With a butterfly.

Wish me luck.

OK, teal horse. Chose some ‘periwinkle’ eyes, since they looked pretty, and found a perfect color match in Homespun, so that will be my secondary color.

While Lady Telmar’s suggested KAL said to use 8” for wiring the spine, I found I really needed around 12” (had to add some extra, with fancy wire loops, for the tail section).
With this extra idea in mind, I adjusted my leg wires to be 20” instead of the 15” in her KAL.

I cast on 7 stitches for the ears,
kfb, k, kfb the next row
Regular knit for 2 rows
Then ssk, k, k2tog until 3 stitches left.
Cdd.
