Mane Part 3:
Chain 8 (this is the foundation chain)
R1: Starting from second chain from hook, Sc 7 in back loops of foundation
chain. Turn and Sc 7 in front loops of the foundation chain [we are making an oval
by crocheting around the chain]. (14 sts)
R2: *Sc 1, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 7 times. (21 sts)
R3: *Sc 1, dec 1*, rep 7 times. (14 sts)
Fasten off and leave long end for attaching.
Mane Part 4:
Chain 6 (this is the foundation chain)
R1: Starting from second chain from hook, Sc 5 in back loops of foundation
chain. Turn and Sc 5 in front loops of the foundation chain [we are making an oval
by crocheting around the chain]. (10 sts)
R2: *Sc 1, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 5 times. (15 sts)
R3: *Sc 1, dec 1*, rep 5 times. (10 sts)
Fasten off and leave long end for attaching.
Mane Part 5:
Chain 4 (this is the foundation chain)
R1: Starting from second chain from hook, Sc 3 in back loops of foundation
chain. Turn and Sc 3 in front loops of the foundation chain [we are making an oval
by crocheting around the chain]. (6 sts)
R2: *Sc 1, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 3 times. (9 sts)
R3: *Sc 1, dec 1*, rep 3 times. (6 sts)
Fasten off and leave long end for attaching.

Arrange Mane Parts 1-5 together and attach each part to the next using long ends
of yarn left. Once all the parts have been attached together, drape the whole piece
across Ponys head from front to back. Sew Mane Part 1 into place. Secure rest of
mane onto head (note that its only necessary to sew portions of the mane to the
head [the middle parts where each piece is joined to the next] as you dont need to
sew the whole way around each piece (i.e. you dont have to attach the sides). No
need to stuff the mane. Hide yarn ends into mane.

R1: 5 sc in Magic Ring (5 sts)

R6: Sc 8
Fasten off and leave long end for sewing. Sew onto head on either side of mane
between Mane Parts 2 and 3.

BODY
Using white yarn,
Chain 4 (this is the foundation chain)

chain. Turn and Sc 3 in front loops of the foundation chain [we are making an oval

LEGS
Note: We will be making 2 back legs and 2 front legs. The only difference
between the back legs and the front legs are Rounds 9-11 when we begin to curve
the legs. They are different so that the colour change from coral to white is hidden
from view when attaching to the body.
BACK LEGS (make 2)
Each back leg consists of the hoof (coral yarn) and the upper leg (white).
Using coral yarn,
Chain 4 (this is the foundation chain)

R9: Dec 1, Sc 3, 2 sc in next sc, Sc 3 (9 sts)
R10: Dec 1, Sc 3, 2 sc in next sc, Sc 3 (9 sts)
R11: Dec 2, Sc 1, 2 sc in next sc, Sc 3 (8 sts)
Fasten off and leave long end for sewing. Finish stuffing back leg. Sew open ends
together. Attach to body.
FRONT LEGS (make 2)
Each front leg consists of the hoof (coral yarn) and the upper leg (white).
Using coral yarn,
Chain 4 (this is the foundation chain)
