So cute!

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. Highly recommend.

Worth it

Five stars, no notes. I'm 15 and taught myself from YouTube, and this one still taught me something. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. Made a mini version with thinner yarn and the proportions held up. Already eyeing the other animals.

Bought this on a whim and I'm so glad I did. The legs and the mane are what make it look like an actual Horse instead of a blob. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the legs goes. This one's for a 5th birthday party. Already planning the next one. I usually have to rewrite patterns in my own notes. Not this one. Would give six stars if I could.

Stitch counts on every row!

I've already made three of these. I run a crochet club at my school, and this one still taught me something. I left out the tail by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one).

Finished my Horse last night! I'm newly retired and finally have time and I had no trouble at all. I liked that the color changes for the mane are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. Made it in a long car ride with Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn.

Cutest thing I've ever made. I crochet on my breaks and this was perfect for me. Great TV-watching project. I swapped the colors to match my team and it still worked perfectly. Perfect gift pattern.

My new favorite

Bought this on a whim and I'm so glad I did. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.

Okay WOW. I'm a grandma of six and this was perfect for me. It was for my daughter and it was the hit of the party. Took me a weekend start to finish including sewing on the legs.

I rarely leave reviews but this earned one. I crochet on my breaks so I was nervous, but it went fine. I left out the tail by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Great TV-watching project.

Yes. Just yes. I've bought Horse patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished.

Very cute, one small thing

Solid pattern. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. My one gripe is the mane took a few tries to get symmetrical.

Finished my Horse last night! I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the tail. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

Finished in a rainy afternoon

My Horse is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. I've been crocheting for 30+ years and I had no trouble at all. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). Made it for my best friend and they have not put it down since. Buying the whole set next.

No frogging needed

Could not be happier with this. I squeeze crochet in during nap time, and this one still taught me something. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. The legs is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

My first amigurumi!

I screamed a little when I finished the face. I checked and the shop allows selling finished items, which is why I bought it. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). Finished in about 4 hours. The mane is my favorite part. Made two: one for my book club swap and one that is NOT leaving my house. Will be making this again.

10/10 would crochet again. I run a crochet club at my school so I was nervous, but it went fine. Gave it to myself, honestly. I've been asked for four more. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the muzzle.

Hands down the best Horse pattern out there. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. Made it for a Secret Santa and they have not put it down since. Will be making this again.

Worth every penny. I make toys for the children's ward and I had no trouble at all. The PDF arrived in my inbox before I'd even closed the tab. It went to a coworker's baby shower and now the whole family wants one. Go get it.

Love love love this pattern. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for. Would give six stars if I could.

Love the tail

Yes. Just yes. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. Great TV-watching project. Used Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn and it came out roughly 8 inches. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin. Will be making this again.

Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? Did the legs in a contrasting color, highly recommend. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). Zero complaints.

Cute result, took a little fiddling. I checked and the shop allows selling finished items, which is why I bought it. Took me longer than I expected, but that's probably on me. Four solid stars.

Yes. Just yes. My Horse came out a chunky 10 inches with bulky yarn using velvet yarn (not recommended for beginners!). Made it for a teacher appreciation gift and they have not put it down since. Would give six stars if I could.
