Skill level and techniques
Intermediate to advanced level. You should be comfortable counting stitches, following rounds and tracking markers. The guide explains the magic ring, single crochet, increases, decreases, chains, slip stitches and waistcoat stitch for the saddle blanket. The back extension and division into four legs need careful stitch tracking. US crochet codes are retained and explained in English.

- White super bulky plush yarn, weight 6; model reference: Premier Parfait Chunky.
- Worsted yarn, weight 4, in three colours for the saddle blanket, plus white worsted yarn to sew it on.
- A 5.5 mm crochet hook for the body and blanket; an optional 3.5 mm hook for drawing the tassel loops through the edge.
- Eight stitch markers and a short contrasting thread for the face reference.
- Two black 12 mm safety eyes, light pink yarn for the cheeks and black embroidery thread for an optional mouth.
- Polyester stuffing, scissors, a yarn needle and sewing pins.
Reference size
Reference finished height: approximately 29 cm. Your yarn, hook and tension affect the finished size.
From stitches to assembly
Follow the head, neck and back extension, then mark the four leg sectors. The guide explains the chain bridges, leg shaping and belly strap, including how to space its edge when sewing. Prepare the small pieces, complete the stuffing and close the body before attaching the striped blanket and tassels.
