Horse Head Applique Pattern Snoo's Knits

If you want to create a horse-themed jumper but don’t know how to knit jumpers, here is the solution. Simply knit the fun bit and then sew it onto a shop-bought jumper… or onto anything else you can think of! For this pattern, you’ll ideally be familiar with colour-work such as intarsia, and turning in the middle of the row. However, the pattern will hold together without any special colour techniques.

NOTE: The pattern is for the applique only, not for a jumper!
