Everyone loves to give a little bit of luck as a gift. With this pattern, you can crochet a small 3D horseshoe in 1–2 hours and give your loved ones a little bit of luck. Whether with a clover or a heart, whether as a keychain or a gift tag, these horseshoes are a sweet gesture for anyone. The horseshoes are also perfect for using up leftover yarn.
The pattern includes instructions for a 3D horseshoe in two different sizes, a heart in two different sizes, and a clover.
Size of the larger horseshoe: Height: approx. 6 cm
Size of the smaller horseshoe: Height: approx. 5 cm. The size of the horseshoes may vary depending on the yarn and crochet hook size.
I crocheted the horseshoes using Catania yarn by Schachenmayr and Cotton Quick by Gründl (running length for both: 50 g = 125 m).
Materials needed:
- For the horseshoes, you’ll only need scraps (approx. 5–10 g per horseshoe) in a color of your choice.
- For the clover, you’ll need a scrap of filet yarn. Alternatively, you can split a cotton thread, giving you 2 strands of the cotton yarn.
- Crochet hooks sizes 3 and 1.5, embroidery needle, sewing needle, stuffing; if the horseshoes are used as keychains, also a keyring, possibly with a chain (any diameter)
The pattern includes 12 pages with many pictures.
You’ll need knowledge of: single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, magic ring, and increasing and decreasing stitches
