CROCHET HORSE SAME PATTERN CAN BE MADE WITH PLUSH YARN

[@kellybrickman9886]

This pattern is pretty cool. For this, I used Lion Brand Yarns "Landscapes Fusion" acrylic yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook. It was extra yarn that I had bought and was looking to use. I am self-taught and do a few things a bit differently - my decreases are "invisible" so I put the hook through both of the front loops for the next 2 stitches then yarn over as if it were a normal single crochet after that. I also chose to do the additional row of decreases on the belly - I had 14 stitches before and it just seemed too big of a hole to close it nicely. After the slip stitch and fasten, I closed the hole by putting the needle through the front loops only and pulling tight to close in a neat circle. The yarn tail can then be put right in the middle of that circle to pull it in and flatten; and then woven through the piece so it is no longer visible.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

These are some great tips!!!! I think now I use most of them, except I only invisible dec where I think holes could be a problem . If I were to redo this video I would definitely do it all the ways you’ve described! Thankyou for sharing them on here! 🥰

[@lyndacheek5420]

Thank you so much, you are so easy to follow and you are right about the last row on his belly if you decrease one more row it won’t pull his feet in right. Thank you for sharing your talent !!!!

[@rhondadawnbutler]

You are so welcome! And thanks so much for letting me know that !! ❤️😊❤️

How do you know where to find the tutorial for the legs

[@rhondadawnbutler]

@@Bethxaldc I’m not sure what your asking. The legs are done at the beginning. Then are crocheted in at the end. All the pieces are made and attached in this one video. There are no other videos that go with it. Hope that helps. 😊

@@rhondadawnbutler sorry I just realised that they were at the beginning because I accidentally skipped past it

[@sunshines9186]

A big huge thank you! I've made so many of your patterns for my kid's & family ♡ I love the drop down bar & love the longer videos where you show how to do the stitch & embroider. For beginners it's invaluable! My daughters learning from you now. We love when a new video comes out. Sorry it's so long lol I don't normally write on people's video's but I really appreciate your talent & am so grateful

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Just wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you for uploading such an amazing video. I followed and made a horse with white and brown yarn. It turned out so adorable and my customers loved it. Instructions are so easy to follow and your voice is so amazing. Thank you again for such an amazing work. Wanna follow your videos for making some other cool stuff. Sending so much love ❤. God Bless 🙏

[@rhondadawnbutler]

That does sound super cute!!!! Glad your customers are liking them and that you enjoyed crocheting with me so much! 🥰🥰

[@helenellsworth9556]

I used velvet yarn 😅so soft, easy if you place the yarn to weave in front st only, and not in and out the way you're doing it, it pulls in way better almost to close it, hope this helps

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Definitely a great tip!!! I do it this way all the time now. And it for sure helps ❤️😊❤️

[@DraGunnTiss]

Any thoughts about making a sheep one? These farm animals are ADORABLE, and your directions are so clear!

[@rhondadawnbutler]

I’ve thought of a sheep lots, but I’d want the face a different color than the head and body , and use a puff stitch. So I’d have to totally change the whole pattern and have to sew the head to the body. So maybe someday, but not too soon,

[@yolandachevalierreed]

[@JesusGirlDesigns]

I really liked the hair on the original horse can i please have that pattern Thank you

[@rhondadawnbutler]

I can’t remember now what I did, but it looks like I made the base chain the length of the neck, just like I started in the video. Then instead of making spirals, I did the chain twice as long as I wanted it, and created a loop by attaching it to the first base chain, in the same stitch I began in. Move to the next stitch in the base chain. And made another loop like the first, doing that all around both sides of the chain.

[@JesusGirlDesigns]

@@rhondadawnbutler oh ok thank you very much 👍🏻

[@rhondadawnbutler]

@@JesusGirlDesigns hope that made sense. The hairs are basically chained loops instead of curls 😊

[@KatyRobertson]

How will you crochet a jumper? For a horse please

[@rhondadawnbutler]

The word jumper is confusing me, when I hear jumper I think hoodie. Do you mean a halter by chance? I do have a video of a sitting horse from way back when I first started that I did a quick halter just tying a piece of yarn in around the back of the head and wrapping it in a circle around the nose and then tying it under the nose. Pretty simple, but you could do chains instead. I’ll add the link to the video, and the timestamp is around 2:13:00. Hope that helps 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3TCenmCbcprp6csi=oDhsrFneH-EWmlQ9

@@rhondadawnbutler hello 👋 I will have a look now

[@autumnwilson8190]

Please may i ask how much yarn is used in g for each colour ❤️ this is wonderful, thank you ❤️

[@rhondadawnbutler]

I believe I used most of a 10 ounce ball of Bernat blanket yarn in the plush yarn for the main color. Maybe an ounce or 2 for the hooves and main. Hope you enjoy making it if you give it a try ❤️😊❤️

[@PikolGuy]

Very god tutorial.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Thank you 🥰

[@rachelazelton4009]

Could this pattern be made but with black yarn for the body, hooves, and hair? My friend wants a black horse but i wasnt sure if the eyes would blend into the body since theyre black and all

[@rhondadawnbutler]

I’ve stayed away from black faces, with black safety eyes for that exact reason. But you may be able to add some white accent with yarn around the safety eye. Or maybe a tiny circle of white felt. Maybe try searching black crochet and see if it gives you some ideas, It’s definitely doable 👍😊

[@rachelazelton4009]

@rhondadawnbutler I'll try that, thank you so much!! Love your videos!!❤️

[@katattack5793]

how many yards or meters do you think i may need for the body and then the hair? i wan to make sure i buy enough plush yarn

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Hi Katattack, I don’t really go by length, I go by weight. But I used about half a 10 ounce ball of bernat blanket yarn for the brown. So a 5oz ball or two 3oz balls should do it. The hair/tail and main, should easily be less than 3 oz. Hope that helps, and hope you enjoy making your horse ❤️😊❤️

[@katattack5793]

@@rhondadawnbutler thank you!

[@ashlandhamby7559]

Could I use this same pattern for a giraffe but make the neck longer?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Yes! I think so, I definitely have thought about it as well as a lama. You just might need a support there, depending on how long you make it. I’d maybe do the cow one though, cause the tail will be the same, and an idea for the horns, if you don’t already have one.

[@ashlandhamby7559]

Thank you so much!!!

[@lilyoftheships5607]

sorry if this could be found in the video, but overall how much yarn did you use?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

I think I say in the video before we get started, I believe it’s a little over 4 ounces in the brown. Maybe a couple ounces of black. It’s the mane that takes a bunch

[@hanna9823]

What is the wool in the clip?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Small one is #4 Large is #6

I use elmers glue to stiffen my yarn

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Is this a tip for the mane? If so, can you expand on this, I’d love to hear more about the successfulness of this, for future projects 🥰

[@bg12445]

When you had talked about the barn, I have dipped crocheted flowers in watered down glue so the petals stay straight.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

@@bg12445 ahhh ok. I’m thinking of using the flat part of the plastic containers baked goods come in. But then the walls have to be double sided. I’ve only used mod podge to try and stiffen heart ornaments, but I think I did it wrong. Well I know I did, lol.

Hi there do you have a written pattern

[@SamanthaConnelly-jp3gs]

With the unicorn horn, is the 1st row inside a mgic ring? Or is it in a straight row? Sorry if its a silly question still new to the patterns 😅

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Without rewatching it myself. It should be in the ring, I call it a loop, but you can start it anyway your used to as long as you have the same amount of stitches. Also, there’s no silly questions. 😊 hope that helps 🥰
