sports weight yarn. With this yarn and a 2.5mm hook, the pony will be
about 20 cm tall.
All stitches are worked through both loops unless otherwise indici-

Line up the two hind legs next to eachother with the toes pointing the

Sample join done in contrasting color for claritys sake; on the real
amigurumi you should do this in the same color as the rest of the pony.

Assembly
4) Grab a piece of leftover yarn in the same color as your pony and
thread it onto a needle. Insert it above the snout, in the rightmost
front loop inc you did in round 15 of the head (identifiable by a small

bar behind the stitch), and pull the needle through to the back of the

3) Sew the head onto the torso. When youve got about of the neck
Now push the crease where the snout forms inward with your finger so

position, firmly pull the two threads at the back and knot them together
5) Sew the ears onto the head. Mind the placing, theyre a lot further to
the back than youd think.
6) If required for your pony, sew the wings onto the back just behind
the neck or unicorn horn onto the forehead.
Finishing
Its commonly referred to as iron-on fabric, the stuff that you use to
fix holes in clothing. It should be available in any store that sells sewing
So, now that all the crocheting and sewing is done and you have your
base pony, its time to give it some personality. Its pretty undoable to
The surface has a nice structure to draw or paint on, and the hot-glue
make a step-by-step guide for this part since every pony has a different
layer on the back keeps the fabric together so you can cut out tiny
hairstyle, cutie mark and eyes, so instead Ill give an overview on how
Paint the eyes and cutie mark (some creativity required here, but
pony.
theres plenty of big vector images on the internet you can use as
examples) and cut them out when done.
Tack them into place with some glue first before ironing, so youre sure
you have them in the right place.
If youre planning to secure them further by ironing them, make a test
piece first. Different kinds of paint can interact differently with heat;
you dont want your paint to crack or smudge onto the crocheted fabric. Paint a little test piece and iron it onto a crocheted swatch to see if
youre okay. You may have to put a piece of cotton like a handkerchief
or tea towel over the painted parts so the hot iron doesnt come directly
stretch of hair in a single color without any funky styling. For example,
I use this method for Fluttershys mane, which is pretty straightforward. Once you have all the strands hooked together as explained in the
This is the method I use, but if you have another one yourself, go
linked tutorial, sew the hair onto the pony in a straight line from the top
ahead! Some people prefer to make eyes with felt, or print out the eyes
on printable fabric (which sadly I cant find so I cant try it out), or use
fabric markers instead of paint. So go ahead and experiment, the skys
the limit!
mend the latch hook method. Cut some yarn into same-length pieces
and attach them one by one with your crochet hook. This one is useful
for small stretches of hair like bangs, or multicolored manes like the
Rainbow Dash Im making here:
A last method I use for ponies with incredibly curly hair, like Pinkie Pie
for example, is to make a bunch of little curly tentacles instead of using single yarn strands. You make these by crocheting a chain of 60-70
ch stitches (you can experiment with length, since its dependant on
yarn weight) and crochet back along the chain, making 3 sc in each ch
st. Make a bunch of these chains and sew them onto the head for curly
manes.
And thats all I know about ponies. I wish you good luck and lots of fun
with making your own!
