The number after the abbreviation means how many times the stitch should be done (for instance
sc 4 = sc, sc, sc, sc). The lack of the number means that the stitch should be done once.

Sequences in brackets should be done as many times as the number after the asterisk says - for instance
(inc, sc 2)*4 = inc, sc 2, inc, sc 2, inc, sc 2, inc, sc 2.

TAIL

Prepare about 40 pieces of color C yarn. Each should be about 40 cm (17 inches) long. The easiest way to
prepare it is to wind the yarn forty times around the longer edge of any A5 notebook and cut at one side (see
Figure 3 and Figure 4).
Tie a knot in the middle of all yarn pieces (see Figure 5).

HEAD & NECK

Start with color A. Use the tapestry crochet technique for changing colors – the last loop of the previous stitch
before the actual color change should be already done with a new color. Mark stitches written in red color
(in R06) with stitch markers. They are the points where you will attach the eyes.

Stuff the head.

Pin the mane to the head as shown in Figure 14 (RS of the mane should face RS of the head) and sew both
parts together, placing seams between puff stitches (see Figure 15).

Figure 14 Figure 15

Embroider nostrils with black thread as shown in Figure 16 (two seams per nostril).

Sew glass eyes to the points marked with stitch markers (see Figure 17). Embroider a black line that begins
one stitch before the eye and ends one stitch after it. Gently push the black yarn under the eye
(see Figure 19). Embroider another line the same way and push the black yarn under the eye from the other
side of the eye (see Figure 20).

Sew ears to the head as shown in Figure 21.
