carousel horse crochet pattern

The vintage trend is unstoppable and I've been jumping on this train for quite a long time, and this horse fits perfectly in.

If you do not like it quite so colorful, simply replace blue and red with pink and light green.

The finished horse is about 37 cm/ 12,5 inches high.

There should be some basic knowledge of crocheting.

The manual contains a step-by-step explanation in addition to the many images.
