When my Mom asked me to crochet an amigurumi horse for my niece Savannah, I knew just what pattern I wanted to try.  We wanted something huggable – and adorable.  Something suitable for a 1-year old.

Crochet Bucket List Project: Lucky the Amigurumi Horse

I chose this pattern:

Designer: Little Muggles

Pattern: Lucky the Amigurumi Horse

Price: $5.00

Purchase your copy here: ETSY

This pattern was very well written and easy to follow.

The pattern comes with complete written instructions and a photo tutorial to explain how to crochet the colour changes neatly.

I used the recommended yarn and hook: Lion Brand Yarns, Vanna’s Choice Solids and a 4.00 mm crochet hook.

The finished horse measured approximately 8.5″ tall.

The mane took a little bit of time to complete but it was easy to do – just a bit time consuming because the mane is created one strand at a time.

I actually found the mane fun to make – I felt a bit like a hairdresser. I spent a little while trimming it with my scissors, adding an extra strand here and there – to get it just the way I wanted it 😉

Everyone who saw the horse loved it!

Savannah seems to love him too!

I recommend this pattern for anyone who loves horses 🙂

The finished project is perfect for children and makes a fantastic gift.
