The Mane, Tail, and Hoof Fringe

Use the fringe method with 8cm Chocolate Brown yarn lengths.
For the mane: Attach fringe from the center-top of the head down to the back of the neck.
For the hooves: Crochet a simple band of 20 chains. Attach dense fringe to every chain loop, wrapping around the base of each leg to create a shaggy look.

The Premium Tack

Using the 2.0mm hook and Chocolate Brown yarn:
Bridle: Crochet a chain to wrap around the muzzle. Join, then crochet a second chain over the head behind the ears, connecting it to the muzzle loop.
Saddle: Work a rectangle in Moss Green (Ch 9, 8 rows of sc). Edge with Chocolate Brown. Attach it to a small piece of felt and place on the back.

Assembly Instructions

Sew the muzzle to the face between Rounds 16 and 22, centering it between the eyes.
Attach the head to the body, ensuring the neck is stuffed firmly for stability.
Sew the ears between Rounds 4 and 8 of the head.
Attach the legs underneath the body, positioning them for balance.
Use black embroidery floss for lashes above the eyes, and white for a sparkle in the eye.
