What you'll need
Product Details
This rider makes a good stocking-filler. It will fit the Snoo’s Knits horse pattern or a My Little Pony. For horses of other sizes, try using wool of a different weight to make the rider smaller or chunkier.
To minimise tedious sewing up at the end, we will be creating the doll in as few pieces as possible. By keeping the legs loosely-stuffed, the figure can stand, sit or ride.
Make a girl or a boy by adding or leaving out the plaits. You also have a choice of hats – the cowboy hat or the striped jockey cap.
Difficulty: Easy
Stitches used: kfb, k2tog, p2tog
