If you love horses, or know someone who does, and you love crocheting, then this post is for you.
A crocheted horse was one of the first toys that I ever made from yarn for my daughter. She now has two real Arabian horses but still treasures her herd of crocheted ponies.
Horse-related crochet patterns were hard for me to find back then. Now, they are everywhere on the net, if you have the money. BUT! Look what I’ve found:
Free Crochet Patterns to Make Horses and Horse-Theme Crochet Projects
I’m sharing these with you because I’d have loved to have these patterns when my kids were little.
You’ll find a vintage crocheted horse pattern to make in three sizes; cute amigurumi horses or ponies; two horse purses; a filet crochet horse chart and even a free pattern for a full-size horse fly bonnet.
Giddy-up and let’s get crocheting!
Vintage Crochet Horse Pattern
Vary the weight of the yarn (and hook) to crochet this adorable equine in one of three sizes. Modern and vintage photos are shown, as well as the complete pattern instructions.
I made the one shown in worsted weight yarn.
Amigurumi Horse
Crochet a horse small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
Mini Barnyard Horse – Just 3″ High
Cute miniature horse, about 3″ high, is part of an absolutely adorable barnyard amigurumi set by 5littlemonsters.
Horse Purse
Girls of all ages will love to stash their treasures in this horse purse.
Horse Around Purse
Horse motif purse worked in tapestry crochet where more than one color of yarn is worked at the same time.
Brown Pony
Free crocheted pony pattern, by April Folts, with a felt mane and tail and large felt eyes.
This isn’t a toy, but it’s a sought-after free crochet pattern to make a full-size horse fly bonnet to keep those pesky flies out of your horse’s ears and eyes.
I want to crochet a baby blanket with a horse in the center of it. Do you have one or do you know where I can get one? This is important to my daughter as she is 35 and a first time momma. Her and her husband are both avid horse lovers. Thank you in advance
Mary Maxin has a filet crochet horse head pattern. Unfortunately, it is only sold in the kit to make it. Wish there was a way to talk to ya, even though its so many years later LOL
Thank you so much, Kristina. Your interest piqued mine and I went searching! I did find an image on Pinterest of a crocheted corner-to-corner blanket with a horse head in the middle. You can see it here: https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/338684834471490305/
Although there isn’t a pattern, the author explains how she made it in the comments, essentially following a standard corner to corner pattern, but following a graph of her own to create the horse head,
