Here you go, hope this makes sense!

------------------------

What you'll need:

image

  • 1 crochet hook

  • 1 one spool of yarn, thickness '3' in the color of your choice

  • 1 pair of scissors

  • 1 piece of fine cotton (in the same colour as your yarn) 25 x 55 cm

  • thread in the same colour as the fabric and the yarn


This pattern is standard Horse sized, however it will fit most Haflingers and Fjords.

Start with a chain of 61 slip stitches ( 28 cm ). (Erika in: Does that make sense?)
The next 7 rows will be stitched in single crochet. The 7th row will be finished by 18 slip stitches ( 9 cm ) . Cut!

image

On the 25 middle stitches ( 11,5 cm ) , add one line of ' single crochet'. It will be an odd number which will help with he following part..

Now you'll have to do 6 rows in the following manner:

1 stitch 'single crochet' , 1 slip stitch , 1 stitch 'single crochet' etc ....
Finish wth 18 Slip Stitches ( 9 cm ) . Cut !

Sew the 2 "threads" as in the above picture.

image

Add 2 rows of "single crochet" but make sure you follow the design in the middle.
On the 49 stitches in the middle, add a line starting and finishing with 5 'single crochet' stitches, and for the other stitches alternate once more between 1 'single crochet' , 1 slip stitch etc ...

For the next 14 rows, continue with this scheme, but take away 1 'single crochet' de on each side to bring it all together.
Starting from the 15th row, take away 2 stitches each time from each side to finish in a point.

Make 2 rows of 'single crochet' as in the photo!

Then, surround the point to make it pretty:
1 'single crochet' stitch, then 6 slip stitches, redo 1 single crochet stitch then leave 3 stitches free. Count the stitches so that a half circle finds itself exactly at the point.

In order to attach the bonnet, leave 4 stitches free to start a chain of 15 slip stitches and attach it leaving 10 stitches free. Repeat on the other side.

Now all we're missing are the ears!

image


Make 2 double triangles. Remember to leave 0.5 cm extra to have room to sew . Sew the diagonal together.

Sew the ears to your masterpeice. Remeber to point the sewn sides to the outside.

Last step: Make the tassels

Count how many you'll need

Attach them well, because that's what will chase the flies!
