Amigurumi free patterns organic toys have been very popular lately; Now I will share with you cute horse amigurumi free pattern.
Materials
– TWO color yarn, yarn for mane;
– 100% white cotton yarn for knitting eye proteins;
– a hook for your yarn;
– a little black cotton for embroidery of the mouth, eyebrows and eye contour;
– two black beads for eyes (if there are no beads – eyes can be embroidered);
– plastic or thick cardboard for the stability of the horse, I take the usual corner for repair white, can also be cut from a plastic lid for a can.
– synthetic winterizer or other filler of your choice;
– a long needle.
For knitting, I use the “Children’s whim” yarn, for the whites of the eyes, cotton Iris, for mane yarn Pekhorka “Streychevaya”.
Abbreviations
– single crochet (sc);
– double crochet (dc);
– chain (ch);
– slip stitch (sl-st);
– strapping method “Rachich step”;
– dec (decrease) – decrease, a single crochet is knitted, 1 loop of the previous row is skipped and again single crochet;
– inc (increase) – in the loop of the previous row, knit 2 loops.
Dear needlewomen, I knit not in a spiral, but in a circle. At the junction of the rows a shovchik is formed. This method of knitting suits me more, because no the need to use a bias loop and the parts do not warp during knitting (see figure below).

Neck
1 way:
Collect 25 air loops, lock them into a ring.
1 – 6 rows: 25 sc. Leave the thread for sewing on the head.
Sew the neck so that the center of the neck hole is between 11 and 12 rows torso.
2 way:
Set a marker (I use a tailor’s pin) between the 11th and 12th rows of the torso.
Collect 25 loops around the marker.
1 – 6 rows: 25 sc. Leave the thread for sewing on the head.
I am using the 2nd method.
I do not stuff the neck with the filler, but use a wooden bead with a diameter of 18 mm,
just put it in the hole. So the head will hold much better.

Whites of the eyes
Squirrels can be knitted in a spiral. Little detail.
Knit with white cotton thread. Close a chain of 5ch into a ring.
1 row: 6sc per ring (6)
2 row: In each sc of the previous row, connect 2 sc (12).
3-4 rows: 12 sc (12)
5 row: 6 decreases
Similarly, connect the second part.
Making the face of the horse
1. Sew on the ears in the places indicated by the red pins. The distance between ears 12 – 13 columns. Tighten the ears at the base. Sew on the left thread.
2. Sew on eyes.
There is no need to sew the squirrels separately, I fasten them together with the black ones bead eyes. The eye area is marked with a yellow pin. When sewing on a peephole pull them together slightly.
You can embroider a black outline around the proteins – the eyes will become more expressive. Make out eyebrows and mouth with black cotton thread. So far, our horse looks like a donkey.
Make the horse’s mane
Cut the threads about 25 cm long. Excess can be cut when the mane is ready.
We fix 1 row of mane from ear to ear. For this:
– fold the thread in half;
– for the bend place we stretch the loop with a hook from two sides sc
– stretch the free ends of the thread in a loop
– tighten the thread
I attach the mane to the spot marked with blue pins. You can fasten the threads through row or each row, depending on how thick the mane will be.
When you have made the first row of mane – make in front of it a couple more rows towards face. If you had 10 threads in the first row, make 8 in the second and 6 in the third.
Horse assembly
1. Sew the legs very carefully. First front, then rear. The distance between front and back legs – 6 rows.
2. Make a ponytail. Cut the threads approx. 20 cm long. Pull them in place tail. Tie a knot.
3. If desired, you can tie the bridle to the muzzle. To do this, tie a chain of 150 air loops and sew it on a muzzle. I don’t sew, just pull the bound chain on the face, and then tie a knot under the mane.
My horse size: 16 cm in height, 13-14 cm in length.
That’s all. Our horse is ready.
